The Water committee has been instrumental in notifying residents and businesses about water wasted through irrigation problems.
PORA?s Water Committee includes several PORA members and volunteers. In addition, EPCOR, Briarwood Country Club, and the Rec. Centers of SCW provide personnel on a regular basis to report on conservation efforts, upcoming changes in service, irrigation on golf courses, etc. The PORA Water Committee has become a de facto Sun City West water authority, providing a liaison to the water utility, county and state water regulators.
The committee deals with citizen concerns and complaints to PORA regarding billing and other water issues, directing residents to the correct state, county or utility personnel who can handle their problems. The committee also provides a forum for HOA representatives, who are concerned with water rates and/or conservation methods they can bring to their associations. Proposed water and sewer rate increases and responses from EPCOR are also discussed.
The public is encouraged to attend the PORA Water Committee meetings on the fourth Wednesday of the month (except June, July, and August) at 9:30 a.m. – subject to change without notice. See the PORA calendar for any schedule changes or call 623-584-4288.
