Phoenix has no water issues, they've got a very large aquifer and a very modern water system with almost zero water loss. Phoenix uses 118 gallons of water per person per day; Thunder Bay uses 276 gallons per person per day. (113.5 million L per 108,325 people in one day.)

Coastal California, on the other hand, is very low on water. Fresh water doesn't make it that far anymore, but don't blame Phoenix. It's Vegas that takes water from the Colorado.
