How SRP Impacts Your Daily Life - Even If You’ve Never Heard of It
Read Time: 3 Min.
You might not think about SRP much - but its decisions are built into your daily life.
Whether it’s your morning shower, your AC on a 112° summer day, or how much you pay each month to keep your home running, SRP is behind it. It’s Arizona’s oldest and most critical utility - but because its leadership is voted in by landowners, its influence often flies under the radar. That’s a problem - and one this campaign is working to change.
Let’s break it down: what does SRP impact, really?
- Water access: SRP controls one of the largest delivery systems in the Southwest, managing canals, dams, and reservoirs that move 244 billion gallons of water per year. If you live in the Phoenix area, there’s a good chance your drinking water, your garden, and your local parks depend on it.
- Power reliability: SRP powers over 1.2 million Arizonans, balancing fossil fuels, renewables, and grid infrastructure to keep electricity flowing - even in summer heatwaves.
- Your monthly bills: SRP is not-for-profit. That means the decisions its board makes directly affect how affordable your utilities are - or aren’t.
Why does this matter more now than ever? As Arizona grows, water supplies shrink and infrastructure ages, the SRP board faces tougher decisions every year. Should we invest in more solar? How do we respond to extreme drought? Do we raise rates, or find sustainable ways to keep them stable? These questions don’t get asked in Washington - they get answered by the people you elect to SRP leadership.
Most Arizonans don’t realize how connected SRP is to the stability of their everyday life. And if they do, they rarely know they have a say. But that’s changing. With the April 2026 election coming, we have an opportunity to put experience, integrity, and community values on the board - leaders who will fight for fair rates, smart water planning, and long-term sustainability.
Takeaway:
SRP impacts your wallet, your water, and your future.
It’s time to pay attention - and vote accordingly.
