This bill proposes updates to the existing water improvements program under Arizona Revised Statutes section 11-254.09. Currently, the program allows county boards of supervisors to establish a system for providing financial assistance to qualified owners of residential real property for improvements to drinking water wells or water delivery systems. The bill would expand this by allowing financial assistance specifically for water hauling for water delivery, thereby broadening the scope of eligible projects.

Additionally, the bill would modify the restrictions on how grant recipients can use the funds. It would allow grant monies to be used not only for deepening existing drinking water wells and plumbing for water delivery systems but also for acquiring or installing storage tanks to receive and store water delivered through water hauling. These changes aim to enhance the support provided to residents in need of water delivery solutions.
