Opinion: Hundreds of homes near Scottsdale were built without water. No, really
You can picture the headline now, and it’s not a good one: Hundreds of homes lack running water near one of Arizona’s wealthiest cities. Homes with no wells or connections to a formal water system have been allowed to proliferate in Rio Verde Foothills, a 20 square-mile strip of county land northeast of Scottsdale. For now, they rely on water trucked in from Scottsdale. But that will soon change.
