Peoria’s Drought Management Plan KEY POINTS The city has assembled a diverse water supply portfolio and proactively invested in its water infrastructure and conservation programs. There is no immediate impact to the city’s ability to deliver water.

We have a plan.

Peoria’s Drought Management Plan outlines practical and necessary activities to assure Peoria’s intentional water stewardship.

We are invested.

Peoria has a long history of exceptional water management and over the last 25 years has made significant investments to safeguard our community from drought and shortage conditions.

This includes diversifying and enhancing water supplies, promoting conservation, and building new infrastructure.

Conservation is key.

As a desert community, we must remain good stewards of our water supply by focusing on conservation, smart growth and long-term planning.

Peoria is NOT running out of water.

The city continues to plan for, invest in, and conserve its most precious resource.
