Great insight about Arizona's position with life's most vital resource - water. Very important for a desert community. Article/panel debunks rumors, shares some current projects, long-term options, and quick way to gain more familiarity about water resources in AZ. Article discusses clarification on: Myth 1: AZ is out of water Myth 2: Buckeye cannot build more houses Myth 3: Industry is using all the water Myth 4: AZ has not dedicated funding to water planning Myth 5: AZ is not planning for the future Some great highlighted initiatives and future oriented thinking. A lot of challenges still at play with population growth, industry sector expansion, reservoir capacities, and extreme/prolonged drought.

Yesterday, I focused on the impacts of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Lead & Copper Rule Improvements on #water providers, tying in the hellscape that lies ahead when the #PFAS MCLs are finalized. I've handled public #communications for LCR-related findings, exceedances, inventories, and replacement efforts for 16 years now. What's interesting with the LCRI changes regarding public education & outreach is how they simply codified what I've been saying all along. Trump's LCR created several "de facto" requirements for #water providers to ramp up their public #communications. While they weren't written into the LCR, if a provider didn't proactively communicate about their inventory work, school & childcare testing, new testing process, etc. under the LCR, they were putting themselves at risk for #Flint-like public panics. And if they didn't have a #crisis COMMS plan as well, they were putting their operation's entire reputation on the line, not just during this early inventory stage, but for their entire compliance effort. We've handled every possible #water crisis during our career, including systemwide exceedances; we've kept the public calm during difficult times. It was estimated there'd be 40% more exceedances under Trump's Rule. Seeing the Biden improvements, that estimate is almost certainly higher. The changes to the Action Level & the testing process, both of which we're fans of, will undoubtedly lead to more systemwide public notifications. Along with a proactive #COMMS plan, providers must have a #crisis #COMMS plan that uses REAL WORLD lessons learned, is tested repeatedly in exercises, & regularly updated. You must be able to get everyone - including elected officials & community leaders - on the same page FAST. In closing, the LCRI's public education, outreach, & crisis COMMS changes aren't anything new. They're what I've been saying to #water providers for years. If they hear from you first, they'll trust you first. If they hear from you last, they'll trust you last. Get going. NOW. Because the days of rolling the dice with public information ARE OVER. All of this is in our wheelhouse at WaterPIO and LeadCopperRule.com. We're currently working with providers, engineering firms, and #water orgs in more than a dozen states.
