Good luck with a lawsuit.
This 'town' is a collection of high-priced homes that were deliberately built outside town limits so that they'd not be subjected to local taxes that cover, among other things, the cost of water utilities.  
So, now that there's a massive drought going on, the free-loaders have had their tax-free water cut off.  
Fuck em. >

I looked at the satellite view of the area when this was first reported and was appalled. It's an extremely high end suburban area built around a golf course WITH WATER HAZARDS and about 1 in 5 houses seems to have a POOL! But all their water has to be brought in by tanker truck? They knew what they were doing and are now paying the price. >

This community was built without water services. They were not cut off. Scottsdale is stopping selling them water due to their own drought, they can buy anywhere else they want. >

I hope Scottsdale doesn't relent. Giving in would only spawn more houses in that area. >

Drought around greater Phoenix AZ (including Scottsdale and its outliers) is barely a warning flag. The entire USA Southwest is overdrawing its water supply. Scottsdale can 'relent' here, or not -- doesn't matter -- there are too many people consuming too little available water. Rolling an icy meteorite into shrinking Lakes Powell and Mead would be a temporary solution. And entertaining. 8-) >

This is the future Republicans want. >

Wouldn’t this be libertarians >

Love that line towards the end "including the use of a private water company to haul water". I'm guessing a GOP donor needs an influx of money. >

There's a saying in Santa Fe, swank capitol of New Mexico: Water flows uphill, following the money. Scottsdale AZ is another rich place that can afford to pump water. Its pricy 'burbs... apparently not. They'll have to wash with Perrier. Hey, how is that Yuma-to-Scottsdale canal project doing? 8-) >

So the climate migrations in the US are about to begin? This will get ugly sooner rather than later. >

USA weather migrations are traditional. My family escaped icy winters back East, heading to California well over a century ago. My partner's family left Northern winters behind almost as far back. And I'll argue that the 1930's "Dust Bowl regugees" rolled west for a better climate.
"Climate migration" hardly describes the planet's upcoming turmoils. As heatwaves get hotter, cold spells get icier, and storms get stormier, populations will move... or die. Expect coastal cities to move inland, and desert cities to move toward the nearest river.
Yup, global warming will win. Scottsdale needs a canal. Good luck,
