Planning & Zoning Commission original video - Oct 29, 2026
Commissioners noted many residents still believe Queen Creek has a water crisis. Staff pushed back, saying the town has sufficient water for planned growth; rising costs mean water rates will keep climbing and park design may shift toward less turf.
Economic Development Commission - Oct 28, 2026
The Town is moving to secure a 100-year drought-proof water supply, largely through the Harquahala Valley basin, and to move customers off CAGRD subsidies. A new water resource fee — roughly $16-40 a month depending on account type — goes to a public hearing November 18, 2026, with new rates possibly hitting bills by March 2027.
