conservation requirements; industrial water use

HB 2568 requires Arizona's water department to establish conservation rules for industrial facilities using over 100 acre-feet of water annually (approximately 32,500 gallons per day) by January 1, 2026. These rules must mandate on-site water reuse, recycling, and efficiency improvements in designated water management zones. The bill also prohibits requiring industrial users to obtain a certificate of assured water supply, join water conservation districts, or meet replenishment obligations under existing law. It directly affects large industrial water users in specific Arizona regions, streamlining their compliance with new conservation standards.
