Water rights fight over Salt River Project control
A battle between the Salt River Project and Scottsdale and other Valley municipalities centers on voting rights in SRP governance. Cities push for one vote per person for bond issues and landowners up to 160 votes, while SRP favors a per-acre system with limited weight for small parcels. The dispute, including a potential lawsuit and tax changes, will determine control of the Valley water supply and future allocations.
