Arizona community with dry wells..dream homes not allowed to hook up to city water

7. Water lines need to be replaced if they're old lead lines and leaking

and that is an expensive proposition that involves digging up streets and then repaving them. Even then, the savings wouldn't allow those developer areas to be developed. The west is running out of water in a lot of places and a lot of people are going to have to come to terms with that. The guy who's talking about having water trucked in might have a chance. The nice lady in the cabin, no.

Arizona is going to be in particularly bad shape, there's already a lot of cracking from subsidence as groundwater has been pumped dry for agriculture and suburbs. Add to that the misery of brownouts during their raging hot summers because the big dams to the north aren't able to generate as much electricity.

If the drought goes on much longer, there will start to be internally displaced people in the US and I haven't seen any sign they've been thinking of that in DC as anything but a police problem.
