Overview
States that a condominium owners' association or planned community homeowners' association is prohibited from requiring the overseeding or watering of lawns during a drought year.
History
A condominium refers to a development in which certain portions are designated for separate ownership (units) and the remainder is designated for common ownership by the unit owners.
A planned community is a development that includes property owned and operated by a nonprofit corporation or unincorporated association of owners that is created pursuant to a recorded declaration for managing, maintaining or improving the property (A.R.S. §§ 33-1202, 33-1802).
A drought year means:
1) a year in which the district member's actual CAP water supply is less than 80% if the district member's normal CAP water supply, if the district member's actual CAP water supply is also less than the amount of CAP water ordered by the district member from a multi-county water conservation district;
2) a year in which the district member's actual surface water supply is less than 80% of the district member's normal surface water supply.
A district member means a municipality that contains a service area and petitions for the formation of a district or petitions for the expansion of the groundwater replenishment district (A.R.S. § 48-4401).
