Development driving water concerns in New River

More from this show

Residents in New River and Desert Hills, communities north of Phoenix, have been worried about development causing more competition for water in the area. Now, residents will have a new water source for water haulers who take water to the communities. However, current residents would like that new source restricted to those who already live there. KJZZ reporter Bret Jaspers will bring us up to date on the issue.
