Arizona faces lawsuit over water
PHOENIX – Arizona is trying to fend off a lawsuit in which a company is suing the state over its refusal to allow groundwater to be piped to neighboring Nevada to support new development.
The lawsuit pending in federal court in Las Vegas contends, among other things, that the denial interfered with interstate commerce and that Arizona officials violated a federal racketeering law by conspiring with project opponents and by purposely stringing out consideration of the application to “throw up numerous costly bureaucratic hurdles.”
