Policy Statements

The 2012 AMWUA State Legislative Water Policy was adopted by the AMWUA Board of Directors for the 2011 Legislative Session. The policies concern water issues that may be considered by the Arizona State Legislature during the session.

Policies are not necessarily adopted each year, and not all policy statements are legislative. Non-legislative policy statements concern issues not currently being considered by the state legislature, but still of importance to AMWUA.
