About the Central Arizona Water Conservation District:

The Central Arizona Water Conservation District is a special purpose taxing district referred to as a multi-county conservation district, that is managed by a 15 member board who are elected from the three-county service area made up of Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties. The Central Arizona Project, also known as CAP, is a 336-mile long canal that brings water from the Colorado River to Central and Southern Arizona. This government entity was created for the purposes of establishing the delivery of Central Arizona Project water, repayment of CAP costs, and operation and maintenance of the CAP aqueduct. The board members serve alternating six years terms.
