Reliable, affordable and sustainable water

SRP was established in 1903 to coordinate the management of water supplies for shareholders of the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association. Today, SRP serves our customers and communities by providing reliable, affordable and sustainable water and energy.

Initially, SRP's focus was on the operation and management of Theodore Roosevelt Dam, the cornerstone of SRP's water supply infrastructure, and the water delivery system comprising the network of canals, laterals and delivery gates in the Salt River Valley. 

Over the past 100 years, SRP’s expertise has grown into the management of:

Beyond reservoirs and canals

SRP strives to protect the water resources of its water users and customers while also working with partners to protect the Salt and Verde river watersheds in a way that benefits everyone who depends on these rivers. This includes conducting research, working on watershed restoration efforts, and collaborating with water users and communities across the state. 

In addition to providing real-time data about hydrological and meteorological conditions, WatershedConnection.com provides information about important efforts to protect and preserve the watersheds in perpetuity for all water users. 

Ultimately, our mission today and in the years ahead is to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable water and energy to our more than 2 million people throughout central Arizona while protecting important water resources for others in the state.
