Both ordinances designate the Marana Water Department as the water provider and require a Water Infrastructure and Phasing Plan (WIP) — covering water use, fire flow, well source, reservoir and booster station needs — accepted before any development plan, plus a water service agreement if the provider requires one. The legal description reserves subterranean percolating water rights, tied to the Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District / Cortaro Water Users' Association arrangement.

Key data: "Marana Water Department (the 'water provider')"; WIP required before development plan approval; water service agreement conditional

Limitation: No ADWR Assured Water Supply certificate or designation number located for either specific plan.

Adopted

Marana's ordinances contain the **only explicit data center decommissioning language found in any of the three states**. Verbatim (Condition 19 North / Condition 20 South): *"If the data center use in the Rezoning Area is discontinued, the Property Owners must cause all data center hardware and infrastructure to be removed from the buildings' interior in compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations, and must establish and execute security protocols to ensure the safety and upkeep of the property within the Rezoning Area, including protocols in the event the property becomes vacant."* However, there is **no bond, surety, escrow, or other financial assurance** backing it, and it covers only interior hardware — not the buildings, substations, or site restoration.

Key data: Condition 19 (Ord. 2026.002) / Condition 20 (Ord. 2026.003); **no financial assurance required**; obligation limited to buildings' interior hardware plus vacancy security protocols

Status date: 2026-01-06

Limitation: Residents at the January 6 hearing explicitly asked the council to reject the rezoning until "an extensive end of life addition to the data center regulations in much greater detail" was added, per the [meeting video record](https://maranaaz.new.swagit.com/videos/371317) — the council approved without it.
