HOW IT’S STRUCTURED
SRP IS TWO SEPARATE ENTITIES: BOTH THE ASSOCIATION AND THE DISTRICT ARE GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND A COUNCIL. THE BOARD WORKS WITH MANAGEMENT TO SET YOUR UTILITY RATES AND APPROVE MAJOR NEW INVESTMENTS. THE COUNCIL SETS INTERNAL RULES AND BYLAWS.
The association manages the water division, a 10-member board of governors (one governor from each of the 10 voting districts)
THE DISTRICT manages the power division, a 14-member board of directors (one director from each of the 10 voting divisions; four remaining directors elected at-large)
MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
THE BOARDS AND THE COUNCILS ARE ELECTED BUT ONLY ELIGIBLE LANDOWNERS CAN VOTE. IT'S AN ACREAGE BASED SYSTEM, SO YOU GET AS MANY VOTES AS ACRES YOU OWN. THE DECISIONS MADE BY THESE BOARDS IMPACT OVER A MILLION ARIZONANS AND THEIR MONTHLY FINANCES.
100 ACRES = 100 VOTES, 1 ACRE= 1 VOTE
***The board of directors may determine by resolution that each qualified elector of the district is entitled to the number of votes or fractional votes equal to the number of acres or fractional acres, rounded to the next one-tenth acre, owned by that owner, but not more than one thousand two hundred eighty votes.
