With reservoirs being tapped, residents are urged to voluntarily cut back on water use, from lawn watering to car washing. While some are already conservation-minded, the situation underscores the vital need for backup plans and regional partnerships. A game-changing solution is on the way: starting next month, Cave Creek will link directly to Phoenix’s water system via the new “Phoenix Interconnect,” designed to keep the town running during emergencies. Officials expect reservoirs to refill in days, but for now, the focus is on clearing the clog and managing what’s left.
