Plumbing in Desert Foothills: What Shapes the Work
Look up anything official about Desert Hills and you end up reading about somewhere else. The Census Bureau draws no boundary around it and counts these houses as part of New River, so every published figure for this area is a New River figure too. The county does much the same thing. Its area plan for this corner names New River, Desert Hills and Anthem together, three communities under one plan. The place is real. The line around it is the part nobody drew, which is why the answers that matter out here come off your parcel instead of a map: your well or your meter, your septic, your permit.
Desert Hills is about 1,735 feet up, and the lots are big, with custom houses on an acre or more and room behind them for a horse, a boat or an RV. The Desert Hills Water System, which the Town of Cave Creek owns and operates, serves part of the area. Everywhere the system does not reach, the supply is a private well on the parcel. On a lot that size, the plumbing outside the house is about as long as the plumbing inside it, and a leak out there can run a long time before anybody notices. That is the argument for finding it properly instead of digging where the wet spot is.
If your house is on a well, what the neighbors do with theirs is part of your plumbing. Wells out here are not spread as thin as the lots are. More than 1,200 well permits are on record across New River and Desert Hills, and in the busiest stretches there are more than fifty of them inside a square mile, roughly six hundred feet apart. The state has measured what that costs. Water levels in some areas have dropped between 80 feet and 200 feet since the late 1990s. Six hundred feet is not much room between two straws in the same glass, and it is a good reason to have the whole system looked at before anybody swaps a single part and hopes.
