AZ Rev Stat § 45-851.01 (2021)
2021 Arizona Revised Statutes|Title 45 - Waters|§ 45-851.01 - Recovery of stored water on an annual basis

45-851.01.  Recovery of stored water on an annual basis A. Except as provided in subsections B,  E and F of this section,  a storer may recover the recoverable amount of water stored after January 1 of a calendar year on or before December 31 of the same calendar year. B. If water is stored pursuant to a water storage permit and its use is based on a decreed or appropriative water right,  the approximate recoverable amount of water stored in a month shall be recovered on or before the last day of the following month or within the same calendar year,  whichever is earlier,  unless the water is credited to a long-term storage account as prescribed by section 45-852.01. C. Water stored after January 1 of a calendar year and not recovered on or before December 31 of the same calendar year may be credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent that the stored water is eligible for long-term storage credits as prescribed by section 45-852.01. D. Water that is stored after January 1 of a calendar year,  that is not recovered on or before December 31 of the same calendar year and that is not eligible to be credited to the storer's long-term storage account may not be recovered at any other time. E. If the water stored was effluent stored at a managed underground storage facility that has not been designated as a facility that could add value to a national park,  national monument or state park and subsection F of this section does not apply,  the storer may recover during a year only fifty percent of the recoverable amount of water stored between January 1 and December 31 of that year. If the storer recovers during the year less than fifty percent of the recoverable amount of the water stored during that year,  the difference between fifty percent of the recoverable amount and the amount of stored water recovered during the year may be credited to the storer's long-term storage account to the extent that the stored water is eligible for long-term storage credits as prescribed by section 45-852.01.

45-853.01.  Restricted uses of long-term storage credits A. If the director has included an amount of long-term storage credits under section 45-855.01: 1. In determining whether to issue a certificate of assured water supply to the holder of the long-term storage credits,  that amount of long-term storage credits shall be recovered only for a use that,  as determined by the director,  supplies water to the subdivision to which the certificate of assured water supply applies. 2. In designating or redesignating a city,  town or private water company as having an assured water supply,  that amount of long-term storage credits shall be recovered only for a use that,  as determined by the director,  supplies water to that city,  town or private water company. 3. In determining whether to issue a report of adequate water supply for a subdivision to the holder of long-term storage credits,  that amount of long-term storage credits shall be recovered only for a use that,  as determined by the director,  supplies water to the subdivision to which the report of adequate water supply applies. 4. In designating a city,  town or private water company as having an adequate water supply,  that amount of long-term storage credits shall be recovered only for a use that,  as determined by the director,  supplies water to that city,  town or private water company. B. The storer of long-term storage credits may apply those long-term storage credits to offset any amount of groundwater that the storer withdraws or uses before 2000 in excess of the storer's per capita municipal conservation requirement in violation of the second management plan if the storer proves to the satisfaction of the director that the following conditions are met: 1. The storer stored the water at a storage facility that is located in the same active management area as the storer's service area. 2. The long-term storage credits used to offset the storer's per capita municipal conservation requirements violation were earned before 2000. 3. The water stored was effluent or central Arizona project water. C. Long-term storage credits may not be used to demonstrate an assured water supply or an adequate water supply if the long-term storage credits were accrued by storing effluent at a managed underground storage facility that has not been designated as a facility that could add value to a national park,  national monument or state park and any of the following applies: 1. The managed underground storage facility does not qualify as an existing effluent managed underground storage facility. 2. The managed underground storage facility qualifies as an existing effluent managed underground storage facility and the long-term storage credits were accrued before January 31,  2019.
