Do You Own A Vacant Lot In Prescott?
Dwindling water supply isn’t something any of us wants to see, but it’s affecting us directly in Prescott.
Anyone who owns a vacant residential tract within city limits may soon be competing with new developments for water supplies or could be required to use water imported from the Big Chino Water Ranch.
Under consideration is moving water originally set aside for vacant residential tracts into a general “pool,” giving other developers access to it. The City claims that few owners of vacant tracts have come forward to collect the set-aside water, so what’s the point in reserving it? Under a current proposal, the water would not be reallocated immediately, but phased out over several years.
It’s no secret the City has been struggling with its dwindling alternative-water supply. New developers seeking alternative water may also have to wait longer for project approval from the City Council. The Council will address this at a meeting on April 5.
City Councilman Steve Blair has suggested the city notify owners of vacant residential tracts that changes likely will be coming. Water issues are expected to be discussed during council meetings on April 5 and 19 and on May 3. The Water Issues Committee will discuss the matter again on April 12.
Please remember these meetings are public and input is generally encouraged.
The City’s draft Alternative Water Allocation Policy is available online here.

The Music Man
By turns wicked, funny, warm, romantic and touching, The Music Man is family entertainment at its best. Meredith Wilson’s six-time, Tony Award winning musical comedy has been entertaining audiences since 1957 and is a family-friendly story to be shared with every generation. The Music Man follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boy’s band he vows to organize – this despite the fact he doesn’t know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian the librarian, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by curtain’s fall.
Bolshoi Ballet: Spartacus
Music: Aram Kachaturian Choreography: Yuri Grigorovich
In ancient Rome, Spartacus, a Thracian king, is turned captive by Crassus with his wife Phrygia. Forced to fight as a gladiator and kill one of his friends, Spartacus plots an unprecedented upheaval.
Grigorovichs Spartacus was created at the Bolshoi in 1968 and has since remained the Russian companys signature ballet. This most spectacular production is an epic tour de force, giving full expression to the virility and strength for which the Bolshois male dancers are renowned. Principal dancer Mikhail Lobukhin is stunning in the role of the legendary gladiator, along with Svetlana Zakharova as Aegina and Vladislav Lantratov as Crassus.
Satellite broadcast from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow.
