Governor Katie Hobbs Terminates Fondomonte Lease, Announces Nonrenewal of Three Others

Press Release

"I'm not afraid to do what my predecessors refused to do--hold people accountable, maximize value for the state land trust, and protect Arizona's water future. It's unacceptable that Fondomonte has continued to pump unchecked amounts of groundwater out of our state while in clear default on their lease. I'm proud my administration has taken swift action to hold defaulting high volume water users accountable and bring an end to these leases. And moving forward, I will continue to do everything in my power to protect Arizona's water so we can continue to sustainably grow for generations to come."
