ICYMI: Governor Hobbs Visits Willcox Amid Groundwater Concerns, Calls for Action
Statement
Issues: Infrastructure Environment
In case you missed it, last week Governor Hobbs visited Willcox, making four stops to meet with city officials, experts, homeowners and farmers to take a closer look at the water issues affecting rural Cochise County. The visit is part of her commitment to protecting Arizona’s water resources and addressing the long-ignored water issues faced by families in rural Arizona, following the state legislature’s failure to pass a bill allowing groundwater pumping regulations.
Governor Hobbs told farmers, families, and community leaders she’s working with legislators to find water conservation solutions in the upcoming session, but is also prepared to take action to protect Arizona’s water and prevent further devastating consequences.
