Did You Know?

Did you know Arizona's forests provide the majority of the surface water for Valley cities? Water from snowmelt and runoff travels to the Salt and Verde rivers' reservoirs and into SRP's canal system. It is then delivered to city treatment plants, which provide water to homes and businesses.

Healthy forests are important to maintaining our water supply, yet many of Arizona's forests are unhealthy and overgrown. This makes them susceptible to wildfires, which affect both the quality of the water you drink and how much is available. Through support of forest restoration efforts, SRP is helping protect our water supply from the harmful effects of wildfires. You can help, too!

Smile - You're Not on Camera

Like many cities, Peoria placed "red light cameras" at several intersections.  After hearing from many of you about how you feared being in crashes as you approached these intersections, I looked deeply into them.  Numerous national studies indicated accident rates increase rather than decrease at "red light intersections."  After reviewing traffic statistics at our "red light intersection" with our Peoria police, we were able to show that Peoria was also experiencing an increase in accidents at them. RedFlex and their cameras didn't go easily, but with the support of residents like you who voiced your concern, the city council voted to remove them.  They didn't prevent red light running, and no longer do you have to fear or worry about them.
