2024 CAWCD Board Election Voter Guide
In the upcoming November election, you will have the opportunity to vote for five new members to the Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) Board of Directors. This election, though it may not be familiar to you, holds significant importance as it will directly impact one of our crucial water supplies. Your vote matters in shaping the future of Arizona's water management.
To raise awareness about the critical role of the CAWCD Board election in Arizona water, AMWUA, in collaboration with the Arizona State University (ASU) Kyl Center for Water Policy and the Arizona Hydrological Society, created the 2024 Maricopa County CAWCD Board Election Voter Education Guide. Each of the six candidates that will appear on your ballot responded to four questions, which are included in this guide. While it may not be a high-profile race, it is important to take the time to get to know the candidates and review their responses.
The complete CAWCD Board Election Voter Guide is available HERE .
