Due to Oro Valley’s location in a desert climate, water is a valued resource. Oro Valley carefully plans for future water use by assessing available water supplies in relation to expected growth. The graph below depicts the use and demand for each water resource.

We all play a part in saving water at home, around our neighborhoods, and across the community. Resident priorities that shaped this part of the Plan include:

• Maintaining Oro Valley’s water availability
• Increasing community resources for water conservation
• Expanding water conservation programs
• Efficient use of all water resources (drinking and reclaimed water)

The guiding principle provides the foundation for building goals, policies, and action. It represents the desires of our community.
