Hey Phoenix folks, kick off your year with a splash of good water news. After years of hauling water like its the Wild West, Rio Verde Foothills residents finally got relief on New Years Day when EPCOR Utilities opened a shiny new standpipe facility off 176th Street. FOX 10 Phoenix reports its the first permanent source in over two years for about 500 homes that lost Scottsdale supplies back in 2023 due to Colorado River cuts. Now, locals refill daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a $75 monthly fee plus 16 cents per gallon. EPCOR VP Frank Metzler calls it a game-changer, saying average users pay around $130 a month, regulated by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Resident Leigh Harris Avril notes its still steep at $300 monthly for some, but hey, promise kept.

Meanwhile, Bartlett Lake is bouncing back. The Salt River Project announced a massive water release from Horseshoe Dam at 4,500 cubic feet per second, or about 7.5 gallons per second per person if you divvy it up. The Cooldown says this will lift the lakes historically low levels, securing storage and supply for thousands.

Mother Nature chipped in too. Michael Groffs January 1 weather chat on YouTube tallies a trace of rain yesterday plus a couple hundredths of an inch officially by morning, already beating last years measly 8.31 inches total. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms brought a wet 2026 start, with highs in the mid to upper 60s and more precip chances Tuesday through Wednesday, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 inch through next week per the forecast. Higher terrain got the best soak, helping clear smoke and fog.

Drinking water stays safe amid the drizzle, and with ongoing Colorado River talks, Arizonas water outlook feels a tad brighter. Stay hydrated, Valley.
