Two lawsuits filed earlier this year on behalf of homebuilders against the Arizona Department of Water Resources could see closure as early as this month.
Washington, D.C.-based Holtzman Vogel Baran Torchinsky & Josefiak PLLC law firm represents the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona in one lawsuit, while Goldwater Institute represents the homebuilder association in another lawsuit — both of which challenge the authority of ADWR to create new groundwater rules that impact the construction industry.
This is a huge issue for Arizona, impacting development, housing costs and the economy, said Andrew Gould, a partner with Holtzman Vogel and a former Arizona Supreme Court Justice.
"This is going to come to a head between October and January," he said.
