What should I know about water rights, shared wells and hauled water when buying rural Arizona property?

Rural Arizona properties may rely on private wells, shared wells, or hauled water instead of municipal service. You should confirm the water source and whether you own the well outright, share it with neighbors under a recorded agreement, or depend on delivery. Shared wells can involve maintenance agreements and usage restrictions that run with the property. Well depth, gallons per minute, and water quality vary widely, so testing and a flow test during your 10 day inspection period are essential. Some areas have groundwater management restrictions that affect new wells or transfers. Hauled water requires storage tanks and regular delivery, which affects cost and lifestyle. The specifics depend on your situation and a licensed attorney should confirm, and Jon can connect you with one.
