Liberty's Role
Liberty’s drinking water is 100% groundwater and utilizes reclaimed water to recharge and irrigate where possible. In addition to the water efficient tools, resources, and programs Liberty provides, Liberty closely monitors drought conditions, has system-specific drought preparedness plans in place, and follows a water use efficiency plan.
The tier status on the Colorado River does not directly impact Liberty customers at this time, but we still encourage customers to use their water efficiently and take advantage of our programs and resources to do so to take care of Arizona's water resources for generations to come.
