Plan 50 Drillings Details Water Purchase Plan
The board of governors adopts a plan allowing shareholders to buy up to two acre feet of water per year at 14 dollars per acre foot. Stored water behind Verde and Salt river dams totals 226,691 acre-feet of a 2,000,000 acre-foot capacity. With ongoing drought and looming lettuce season withdrawals, storage may fall below 1947 levels before September 7 without mountain rains.

ONeil, Arizona’s famed Span ish American War participant, was killed at San Juan Hill. The stamp follows a bill introduced in Congress earlier this year. The piece notes the Rough Riders 50th anniversary was observed earlier this year.
