Arizona’s newest city already has a major water problem
There’s a city twice the size of Tucson out in the desert south of Apache Junction. It houses 900,000 people in thousands upon thousands of homes. But it just hasn’t been built yet. The area is 276 square miles of empty desert called Superstition Vistas. It stretches from the southern border of Apache Junction, down the edge of San Tan Valley, all the way down to Florence, then across to the US 60 and beyond. … And for all that area, with all those people estimated to live there upon completion, there’s not enough water.
