The Importance of the Colorado River Water Supply

to Central and Southern Arizona

Presented by Pamela Pickard,

Board President for the Central Arizona Project

As the largest user of energy in the state of Arizona,

Central Arizona Project's (CAP) power resources

are of particular importance. CAP obtains nearly

a coal fired plant under review by the EPA.  CAP

about this critical issue and how it could impact

water rates in Arizona.
