6.3.1 Introduction

The water supply and quality within the city is one of the key elements for maintaining sustainable growth and allowing the city to achieve its development goals. By assessing the water demands that will be needed in future and identifying and acquiring adequate water resources the city will be able to plan for and meet the demands of future development. Water is a challenging and complex issue, unconstrained by jurisdictional boundaries and requires regional cooperation and long term planning to be sustainable.

The water resources and quality section of the natural resources element presents a plan for providing Surprise’s residents and businesses with a safe, reliable, and high quality source of water through 2025 and beyond.
