Scottsdale Mayor Lisa Borowsky is hosting her next town hall from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, at the Granite Reef Senior Center, 1700 N. Granite Reef Road.

Mayor Borowsky represents the community of Scottsdale as a member of the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association Board of Directors (AMWUA) and serves as a member of the Coalition for Protecting Arizona’s Lifeline, which is a nonpartisan alliance of Arizona leaders focused on educating, advocating and elevating the importance of long-term water security.

The town hall will be emceed by KTAR Radio Host Mike Broomhead and will feature a presentation by Rhett Larson, who serves as the Richard Morrison Professor of Water Law at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

Mr. Larson also serves as general counsel for AMWUA and will provide an in-depth overview of the Colorado River and the potential impacts of looming cuts to CAP’s allocation in Scottsdale.

Residents attending the event will have the opportunity to learn about water challenges facing Scottsdale, ask questions and share feedback directly with Mayor Lisa Borowsky in an open, community-focused setting.
