Your Source for Facts on Water and Community
Mission
Prescott Truth exists to provide our community with clear, fact-based information on water, growth, and affordability. We are committed to transparency, accountability, and engagement—ensuring every resident has access to the facts needed to make informed decisions about Prescott’s future.
Key Issues
-

Water Security
Prescott holds a 100-year Designation of Assured Water Supply (DAWS), reaffirmed in 2024. Per-capita water use has declined every year since 2008, and over 60% of reclaimed water is reinjected into the aquifer.
-

Planned Progress
Growth in Prescott is phased and tracked with the Water Resource Management Model (WRMM). Responsible growth prevents sprawl, funds infrastructure, and ensures long-term stability.
-

Affordability
Without new housing, Prescott risks pricing out its own families. Planned housing creates options for seniors, teachers, tradespeople, and service workers—ensuring affordability for generations.
-

Infrastructure & Traffic
New development pays for road, safety, and drainage upgrades. Every project undergoes traffic and emergency planning to keep Prescott moving safely.
-

Community First
Prescott Truth believes engagement isn’t a checkbox—it’s the foundation. We host listening sessions, HOA outreach, and transparent reporting so residents have a voice in decisions.
