DROUGHT PREPAREDNESS
CURRENT DROUGHT RESPONSE STAGE: STAGE ONE
Marana's Drought Preparedness Plan - Marana’s Drought Preparedness Plan (DPP) was created working with regional partners. The DPP was first adopted in 2007 to heighten awareness and provide a response to potential reduction in our available water supply due to drought. The Plan includes indicators and triggers that determine which of the four stages, in increasing severity, are selected and outlines the actions and potential actions at each stage. Under Stage One of our plan, Marana Water requests voluntary conservation, asking customers to reduce consumption by 5% through limiting landscape irrigation and avoiding outdoor water uses like misters and car washes when possible. In the years since its adoption, Marana Water has diligently acquired renewable water supplies and grown its service area. In 2023, the Drought Preparedness Plan was updated in cooperation with regional partners and the Citizens Water Academy. Marana Water partners with state and local entities to monitor drought. Find out more information on state-wide and local drought conditions through ADWR and LDIG. To review the Plan, click on Marana's Drought Preparedness Plan.
