The purpose of the DWSPP is to provide strategies and procedures for periods of time when the Town’s normal and customary water supplies may not be able to meet the Town’s needs due to below-normal rainfall or other issues that have affected the municipality’s water supply. A DWSPP plan is also a resource that can be used should a meteorological drought last for several years.

The objective of the plan is to provide ways for the Town, businesses, and residents to aid in water demand reduction when a water supply insufficiency occurs, and to provide a framework for operations of the Clarkdale Municipal Water Utility during times of drought and water shortage.
