(FLAGSTAFF, AZ – April 20, 2026) Securing Arizona’s water future requires leaders who deeply understand the delicate balance between local economic needs and long-term conservation, which is why the Environmental Defense Fund applauds the appointment of Pinal County Supervisor and Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) Board Member Stephen Miller to the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) Board of Directors.

“Stephen Miller knows firsthand what is at stake for Arizona’s communities when it comes to water security. His unique perspective, serving the rapidly evolving needs of Pinal County while navigating complex, state-wide challenges on the CAWCD Board, gives him a unique, on-the-ground understanding of our water infrastructure demands.

“Supervisor Miller brings a well-earned reputation for bridging divides to advance practical water policies. At a time when WIFA is tasked with making generational investments in our state's water supply, his leadership will be instrumental.”
