this isn’t really the suburbs. it’s a more rural area with water wells and not hooked up to the main water service

new suburb developments in az are required to prove they have a 100 year water supply

Yeah that's covered in the article, but only applies to subdivisions of more than 5 houses. So the builders build larger anyway with ownership hidden in a shell game of LLCs to get around the regulation and build without that 100 year water supply.
