AFFECTED AREAS:
Avondale, AZ

Start Date: 2/15/2023 - End Date: 1/31/2024
Stage 1 of Avondale’s Drought Preparedness Plan was declared on Feb. 15 at the recommendation of the city’s Water Resources Division. Under Drought Stage 1, the city of Avondale will strive to increase water conservation in the city’s operations and provide more awareness and education to water customers. The prompt to move to State 1 of the Drought Preparedness Plan was based on the possibility of minimal water shortages or drought conditions within the next year. About a third of Avondale’s water comes from the Colorado River, which was in a Tier 2a shortage. The city anticipates additional reductions in supply from the Colorado River late in 2023 or 2024.
