Tucson Water has completed a comprehensive, in-house review and analysis of the water
resources available to the City over the next several decades: Water Plan: 2000-2050. Malcolm
Pirnie, Inc. is under contract to implement the Water Quality Assessment and Implementation
Program to provide technical and public communication support services to Tucson Water as it
makes key decisions regarding the development and treatment of its water resources.
The focus of this effort is to assist Tucson Water in determining the answer to the first decision
point: What is an acceptable long term mineral content target for the Clearwater blended water
program? Clearwater is the name given to the portion of the city's supply that is comprised of
Colorado River water from the Central Arizona Project (CAP) that is recharged and blended with
local groundwater. The objectives of this study were to conduct consumer panel tests to
determine the ability of consumers to detect differences between mineral levels of 450, 550 and
650 mg/L TDS and to present water resources and economic information to the panelists and ask
them to determine their preferences between 450 and 650 mg/L TDS. Includes reference, tables, figures.
