What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Hobbs vetoed Republican proposals concerning water conservation in Arizona. Separately, the Arizona Department of Water Resources released its 2023 Phoenix groundwater model, which caused approvals for new groundwater-dependent subdivisions on the metropolitan fringe to effectively stop. This moratorium restricted homebuilding, though commercial and industrial projects were able to proceed unabated. The moratorium was previously struck down by a Maricopa County Superior Court, which the Department appealed.
