What type of development does the Assured Water Supply certificate specifically apply to?

The Assured Water Supply certificate is specifically designed to apply to developments within Active Management Areas (AMAs) in Arizona. This certificate serves to ensure that there is an adequate water supply for proposed developments, particularly concerning the future sustainability of water resources in areas where water demand is high.

The focus of the certificate is on the long-term availability of water resources and requires that developers prove their water supply can meet projected demands. This requirement is essential to promote responsible water management, especially in regions facing water scarcity issues.

The option indicating developments outside of AMAs does not align with the purpose of the Assured Water Supply program; it is not applicable there since AMAs are designated regions where future water availability is a key concern, hence requiring assurances for developments seeking water supply certification.

Thus, the correct understanding of the Assured Water Supply certificate’s application centers around its focus on providing a framework for responsible water use within designated areas where water resources are managed intensively.
