The Authority’s obligation to issue the Series 2008 Bonds shall be conditioned on the understanding that all opinions and certificates under Section 7 hereof shall include the Authority as an addressee or expressly allow for reliance thereon by the Authority.

The aggregate purchase price of the Series 2008 Bonds to be paid at the Closing shall be $25,477,025.00 (which represents the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of $25,865,000.00 less Purchaser’s compensation of $387,975.00) (the “Purchase Price”).

The Purchaser agrees to make a bona fide public offering of the Series 2008 Bonds at the offering prices or yields not in excess of those set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The Purchaser may offer a portion of the Series 2008 Bonds for sale to selected dealers who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and who agree to resell the Series 2008 Bonds to the public on terms consistent with this Bond Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser reserves, however, the right, in its sole discretion, to change such offering prices or yields as the Purchaser shall deem necessary in connection with the offering of the Series 2008 Bonds and to offer and sell the Series 2008 Bonds to certain dealers (including the Purchaser and other dealers depositing the Series 2008 Bonds into investment trusts) and others at prices lower than the initial offering prices or at yields higher than the initial yields set forth in the Limited Offering Memorandum (as such term is hereinafter defined). The Purchaser also reserves the right (a) to over allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Series 2008 Bonds at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and (b) to discontinue such stabilizing, if commenced, at any time.

It is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Series 2008 Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Series 2008 Bond or any error with respect thereto shall constitute cause for a failure or refusal by the Purchaser to accept delivery of the Series 2008 Bonds in accordance with the terms of this Bond Purchase Agreement.

The Series 2008 Bonds will be made available to the Purchaser for checking and packaging as soon as practicable, but at least by 12:00 noon, on the business day prior to the Closing Date at the office of DTC or at such other place to which the parties hereto may agree mutually.

SECTION 9. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY.

(a) Scope of Indemnification. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Authority, the County, the Purchaser, each director, trustee, partner, member, officer, official or employee or agent thereof and each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (any such person being herein sometimes called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, (i) to which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any statute or regulation at law or in equity or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact set forth in the Limited Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Company Warranted Information therein a material fact required to be stated therein or which is necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading in any material respect; and (ii) to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in any settlement of any litigation commenced or threatened arising from a claim based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(b) Procedure. An Indemnified Party shall, promptly after the receipt of notice of a written threat of the commencement of any action against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may be sought against the Company, notify the Company in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice will reduce the liability of the Company by the amount of damages attributable to the failure of the Indemnified Xxxxx to give such notice to the Company, but the omission to notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability that any of them may have to such Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section. In case any such action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company may, or if so requested, by such Indemnified Party shall, participate therein or assume the defenses thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and the Company (it being understood that, except as hereinafter provided, the Company shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one counsel representing the Indemnified Parties in such action), and after notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of an election so to

assume the defenses thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that unless and until the Company assumes the defense of any such action at the request of such Indemnified Party, the Company shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action. If the Company shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense of any such action or if an Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party) or to other Indemnified Parties, legal and other expenses, including the expense of separate counsel, incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be borne by the Company.

(c) Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Section is applicable but for any reason is held to be unavailable to the Purchaser from the Company, the Company and the Purchaser shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including any investigation, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit or proceeding or any claims asserted, but after deducting any contribution received by the Company from persons who control the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or otherwise) to which the Company and the Purchaser may be subject (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other from the purchase of the Series 2008 Bonds or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchaser. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by or relating to the Company or the Purchaser, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchaser agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable consideration referred to herein. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Purchaser’s compensation exceeds the amount of any damages the Purchaser has otherwise paid or become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph, each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Purchaser and each person, if any, who. controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act shall have the same

rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph. Any party entitled to contribution will, promptly after receipt of notice of commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim for contribution may be made against another party or parties under this paragraph, notify such party or parties from whom contribution may be sought, but the omission to so notify such party from whom contribution may be sought shall not relieve the party or parties from whom contribution may be sought from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise than under this Section. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect, to any action or claim settled without its consent.

SECTION 10. PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.

The Purchaser shall be under no obligation to pay, and the Company shall pay or cause to be paid, any and all expenses and costs incurred in connection with the authorization, issuance or sale of the Series 2008 Bonds, including, but not limited to: costs of preparing, printing and delivering the Preliminary Limited Offering Memorandum and the Final Limited Offering Memorandum (including the word processing, duplicating and delivery charges incurred by Counsel to the Purchaser in connection with the preparation of preliminary or final drafts thereof); costs of printing, reproducing and binding the Financing Documents and the Authority Documents; fees and expenses of the Trustee, Bond Counsel, the Auditor, Counsel to the Purchaser, Counsel to the Trustee and any paying agent or registrar; expenses in connection with the Closing; fees and expenses of Counsel to the Authority and the fees and administrative expenses of the Authority; fees and expenses for preparation, printing, transportation and safekeeping of the Series 2008 Bonds; fees and expenses of any other experts, consultants or advisors retained by the Company and other costs, charges and fees in connection with the foregoing.

In the event that the Series 2008 Bonds are not purchased by the Purchaser for any reason other than a default by the Purchaser hereunder, then the Company shall pay upon demand all expenses which would otherwise be paid, or caused to be paid, by the Company pursuant to this Section and will reimburse the Purchaser and the Authority for “out-of-pocket”, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of Counsel to the Purchaser and Counsel to the Authority, respectively) that shall have been incurred by any of them in connection with the proposed purchase of the Series 2008 Bonds.

Extraordinary Optional Redemption

The Series 2008 Bonds are also subject to redemption by the Authority in the event of the exercise by the Company of its option to direct redemption (i) at any time in whole, or (ii) on any Interest Payment Date in part in inverse order of maturity in the event of condemnation of part of the Project as described below, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Series 2008 Bonds redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, upon occurrence of any of the following events:

(b) Title to, or the temporary use of, all or a significant part of the Project shall have been taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain (1) to such extent that the Project cannot, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, reasonably be expected to be restored within a period of six months to a condition of usefulness comparable to that existing prior to the taking, or (2) as a result of the taking, normal use and operation of the Project is reasonably expected, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, to be prevented for a period of six consecutive months or more.

(c) As a result of any changes in the Constitution of the State, the Constitution of the United States of America, or state or federal laws or as a result of legislative or administrative action (whether state or federal) or by final decree, judgment or order of any court or administrative body (whether state or federal) entered after the contest thereof by the Authority or the Company in good faith, the Loan Agreement shall have become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed in the Loan Agreement, or if unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall have been imposed with respect to the Project or the operation thereof, including, without limitation, federal, state or other ad valorem, property, income or other taxes not being imposed on the date

The Company also shall have the option, in the event that title to or the temporary use of a portion of the Project shall be taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain, even if the taking is not of such nature as to permit the exercise of the redemption option upon an event specified in (b) above, to direct the redemption, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of Series 2008 Bonds prepaid, plus accrued interest to the redemption date, of that part of the outstanding principal balance of the Series 2008 Bonds as may be payable from the proceeds (after the payment of costs and expenses incurred in the collection thereof) received in the eminent domain proceeding, provided, that, the Company shall furnish to the Authority and the Trustee a certificate of a duly qualified independent engineer stating that (1) the property comprising the part of the Project taken is not essential to continued operations of the Project in the manner existing prior to that taking, (2) the Project has been restored to a condition substantially equivalent to that existing prior to the taking, or (3) other improvements have been acquired or made which are suitable for the continued operation of the Project.

THE INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

OF THE COUNTY OF PIMA

Tucson, Arizona

Re:

The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Pima, Water and Wastewater Revenue Bonds (Global Water Resources LLC Project), Series 2008

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Pima (the “Authority”) in connection with the issuance and delivery of the above-captioned bonds (the “Bonds”). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to a Trust Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2006, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2007, and further supplemented by the Second Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2008 (collectively, the “Indenture”) between the Authority and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Trustee”), and are being sold pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement dated September 12, 2008 (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”), executed by the Authority, Global Water Resources LLC (the “Company”), and Hutchinson, Xxxxxxx, Erley & Co. (the “Purchaser”). Capitalized terms used, and not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

We are members of the Arizona Bar and serve as general counsel to the Authority. In connection with the issuance on this date by the Authority of its Bonds, we have examined, among other things, the following:

Executed counterparts of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 2006, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2007, and further amended by the Second Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008, all between the Authority and the Company (collectively, the “Loan Agreement”), the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Authority’s Closing Certificate, dated the date hereof, and the Tax Certificate dated the date hereof (collectively referred to herein as the “Authority Documents”);

The provisions of Title 35, Chapter 5, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended and supplemented (collectively, the “Act”);

B-1

The Articles of Incorporation of the Authority (the “Articles”) and the Bylaws of the Authority (the “Bylaws”);

A copy of the proceedings of record of the Board of Directors of the Authority, including the Resolution adopted on June 20, 2008 (the “Bond Resolution”), in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds and the Authority Documents;

A copy of the Limited Offering Memorandum, dated September 12, 2008 (the “Limited Offering Memorandum”) with respect to the offering and sale of the Bonds; and

Xxxx other laws, matters and documents as we deem necessary for purposes of this opinion.

As to questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon the representations of the Authority contained in the Authority Documents, the Bond Resolution and other certifications of public officials furnished to us without undertaking to verify the same by independent investigation. We have also assumed (i) the genuineness of the signatures not witnessed, the authenticity of documents submitted as originals, and the conformity to originals of documents submitted as copies, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Authority Documents and (iii) that the Authority Documents accurately describe and contain the mutual understanding of the parties, and that there are not oral or written statements or agreements that modify, amend, or vary, or purport to modify, amend, or vary, any of the terms of the Authority Documents.

Based upon the foregoing and upon such other information and documents as we believe necessary to enable us to render this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Authority is a duly organized nonprofit corporation designated as a political subdivision under the laws of the State of Arizona, with the requisite corporate power and corporate authority to issue the Bonds, to execute and deliver the Authority Documents and to carry out and perform its obligations under the Bond Resolution and the Authority Documents.

2. The execution and delivery of the Bonds, the Bond Resolution and the Authority Documents by the Authority have been duly authorized by the Authority and have been duly executed and delivered by the Authority and approved by the Board of Supervisors of Pima County, Arizona. The Bond Resolution has been duly passed by the Authority, is in full force and effect and has not been repealed by the Authority.

3. To the best of our knowledge, no action, suit, proceedings, inquiry at law or in equity are pending or threatened in any way affecting the existence of the Authority or the titles of its officers to their respective offices, or seeking to restrain or to enjoin the issuance, sale or delivery of the Bonds, or the collection or application of revenues of the Authority pledged or to be pledged to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds, or the pledge thereof, or in any way contesting or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Bonds or the powers of the Authority or its authority with respect to the Bonds.

B-2

4. The execution and delivery of any of the Authority Documents and compliance with the provisions thereof, under the circumstances contemplated thereby, (i) do not violate the Act, the Articles, the Bylaws or any law, ordinance, administrative regulation, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award, currently in effect of which we have knowledge to which the Authority is subject and (ii) do not and will not in any material respect conflict with or constitute on the part of the Authority a breach of or default under any indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, agreement, or other instrument of which we have knowledge and to which the Authority is a party.

5. Other than the approval of the Pima County, Arizona Board of Supervisors (which has been obtained), no further consents or approvals are necessary from the Authority for the issuance of the Bonds or the valid execution, delivery or performance of the Authority Documents. The Authority has duly authorized the use of the Limited Offering Memorandum.

6. Without having undertaken to determine independently the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained in the Limited Offering Memorandum therein under the captions “THE AUTHORITY” or “ABSENCE OF LITIGATION” as it relates to the Authority, nothing has come to our attention which would lead us to believe that portions of the Limited Offering Memorandum under the captions “THE AUTHORITY” or “ABSENCE OF LITIGATION” as it relates to the Authority contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

As counsel for the Authority, we are passing only upon those matters set forth in this opinion and are not passing upon the accuracy or completeness of any statements made in connection with any offering or sale of the Bonds, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein.

By letter dated June 27, 2008, to the Attorney General of the State of Arizona (the “Attorney General”), the Authority notified the Attorney General, as required by A.R.S. Section 35-721 (F), of its intention to issue the Bonds. The Attorney General acknowledged receipt of such notice in a letter dated July 2, 2008. As of the date hereof, the Authority has not received any notice from the Attorney General to the effect that, in his opinion, the Project does not come within the purview of the Act.

No other person, other than the addressees, may rely upon this opinion without written consent.


Respectfully submitted,

XXXXX, XXXXX & XXXXXX, P.C.

As to matters noted below, we have also relied upon that certain opinion of Xxxxxx XxXxxx & Xxxxxx, PLC dated this date (attached hereto as Exhibit A). We have further relied on the Borrower’s Certificate dated this date (attached hereto as Exhibit B).

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, and we herewith advise you, as follows:

3. The execution and delivery of the each of the Bond Issue Agreements by the Borrower, and the approval by the Borrower of the Bond Indenture, the Bonds and the Limited Offering Memorandum, and compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of the Bond Issue Agreements, do not and will not conflict with or constitute a breach of or a default under the provisions of the Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement of the Borrower, and upon execution and delivery of the Intercreditor Agreement do not and will not in any material respect constitute on the part of the Borrower a breach of or default under any material indenture, deed of trust, mortgage, agreement, or other instrument of which the participating attorneys in our firm have knowledge and to which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or its properties is bound, and, to the actual knowledge of the participating attorneys in our firm, do not materially conflict with, violate, or result in a breach of any existing law, public administrative rule or regulation, judgment, court order or consent decree to which the Borrower is subject, except that with respect to whether such execution, delivery, approval and compliance would conflict with, violate or result in a breach of any law, administrative rule or regulation of or relating to the Arizona Corporation Commission, we are relying solely on the attached opinion of Roshka DeWulf & Xxxxxx, PLC and are not expressing an independent opinion on such matters..

C-1 - page 3

The Borrower has received and there remain in full force and effect all governmental consents, permits, licenses and approvals that would constitute a condition precedent to, or the lack of which would materially adversely affect, the performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Bond Issue Agreements, except that with respect to any consents, permits, licenses or approvals that may be required by or relating to the Arizona Corporation Commission, we are relying solely on the attached opinion of Roshka DeWulf & Xxxxxx, PLC and are not expressing an independent opinion on such matters.

5. Except as otherwise described in the Limited Offering Memorandum, and based upon a search of the records of the Maricopa County Superior Court and the U.S. District Court, Phoenix, Arizona conducted by Xxxxx Legal Support Services dated October 1, 2008, there are no lawsuits or proceedings pending, or to the best of our actual knowledge, overtly threatened against the Borrower or either of the Project Subsidiaries (as defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) (i) which in any way question (a) the validity and proper authorization, approval and execution of the Bond Issue Agreements, (b) the authority of the Borrower to enter into the Bond Issue Agreements or to or to borrow the proceeds of the Bonds and apply such proceeds to the Project as contemplated in the Bond Issue Agreements or the Limited Offering Memorandum, or (c) either of the Project Subsidiaries’ authority to operate or assess rates and charges for their respective Systems (as defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) or Borrower’s right to receive the net revenues therefrom as described in the Bond Purchase Agreement or the Limited Offering Memorandum, or (d) the ability of the Borrower otherwise to perform its obligations under such documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Agreements or the Limited Offering Memorandum, or would in any way adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Bonds or the Agreements (or of any other instrument required or contemplated for use in consummating the transactions contemplated thereby or by the Limited Offering Memorandum) or the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest on the Bonds as set forth in the Limited Offering Memorandum or (iii) contesting in any way the completeness or accuracy of the Limited Offering Memorandum (except that with respect to any pending or overtly threatened order or consent decree of, or proceedings before or related to the Arizona Corporation Commission, we are relying solely on the attached opinion of Xxxxxx XxXxxx & Xxxxxx, PLC and are not expressing an independent opinion on such matters). The Borrower is named as a defendant in Maricopa County Superior Court Case No. CV2006-18576, in which the plaintiff is Sonoran Utility Services, LLC. The matter is referred to in the Limited Offering Memorandum as the Sonoran litigation.

In addition to the legal opinions set forth above, the Bond Purchase Agreement calls for us to comment on the Limited Offering Memorandum. Based upon our participation in the review of the Limited Offering Memorandum, and without having undertaken to determine independently the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained in the Limited Offering Memorandum, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Limited Offering Memorandum (excluding financial, statistical and engineering data included in the Limited Offering Memorandum, as to which no view is expressed), as of its date or as of the Closing Date, contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

C-1 - page 4

The opinions and statements set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

We express no opinion as to law other than the law of the State of Arizona and the federal law of the United States.

The enforceability of the Agreements is also subject to the qualification that certain waivers, procedures, remedies, and other provisions thereof may be unenforceable under or limited by the law of the State of Arizona and the indemnification provisions of the Bond Purchase Agreement may be limited by principles of public policy and applicable securities laws. We express no opinion regarding ownership of or the status of title to any property or collateral; the priority, existence or perfection of any security interest created by the Agreements; or as to any other matter except as otherwise expressly stated herein.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion, and we herewith advise you, as follows:

1. The execution and delivery of the each of the Bond Issue Agreements by the Borrower, and the approval by the Borrower of the Indenture, the Bonds and the Limited Offering Memorandum, and compliance by the Borrower with the provisions of the Bond Issue Agreements, to the knowledge of the participating attorneys in our firm, do not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of any existing Arizona Regulatory Law to which the Borrower is subject.

2. The Borrower has received and there remain in full force and effect all consents, permits, licenses and approvals, of the Arizona Corporation Commission, that are required by Arizona Regulatory Law and that would constitute a condition precedent to, or the lack of which would materially adversely affect, the performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Bond Issue Agreements.

3. Except as otherwise described in the Limited Offering Memorandum, to the best of the actual knowledge of the participating attorneys in our firm, there are no pending orders or decisions of, or pending or overtly threatened proceedings before the Arizona Corporation Commission against the Borrower or the Project Subsidiaries (as defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) that (i) directly question (a) the validity and proper authorization, approval and execution of the Bond Issue Agreements, (b) the authority of the Borrower to enter into the Bond Issue Agreements, to borrow the proceeds of the Bonds and apply such proceeds as contemplated in the Bond Issue Agreements and Limited Offering Memorandum, or to otherwise perform its obligations under such documents; (c) the Project Subsidiaries’ authority to operate or to assess rates and charges for service related to their respective Systems (as defined in the Bond Purchase Agreement) or Borrower’s right to receive the net revenues therefrom as described in the Bond Purchase Agreement or the Limited Offering Memorandum, or (d) the ability of the Borrower otherwise to perform its obligations under such documents and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Agreements or the Limited Offering Memorandum, or would materially adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Bonds or the Agreements (or of any other instrument required or contemplated for use in consummating the transactions contemplated thereby or by the Limited Offering Memorandum) as set forth in the Limited Offering Memorandum.

The opinions and statements set forth above are subject to assumptions stated above and to the following qualifications and limitations:

We express no opinion as to law other than Arizona Regulatory Law. The enforceability of the Agreements may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

C-2 - page 4

arrangement, moratorium, or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by the application of general principles of equity (whether applied by a court of competent jurisdiction or by the Arizona Corporation Commission). The enforceability of the Agreements is also subject to the qualification that certain waivers, procedures, remedies, and other provisions thereof may be unenforceable under or limited by the law of the State of Arizona (including Arizona Regulatory Law) and the indemnification provisions of the Bond Purchase Agreement may be limited by principles of public policy and applicable securities laws. We express no opinion regarding ownership of or the status of title to any property.

The opinions and statements expressed in this letter are based upon the facts (subject to the assumptions noted above) as of the date hereof and Arizona Regulatory Law in effect on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update, revise or supplement this opinion.

Respectfully submitted,

Re:

Water and Wastewater Revenue Bonds (Global Water Resources, LLC Project), Series 2008 (the “Bonds”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to you in connection with your purchase of $25,865,000 aggregate principal amount of Water and Wastewater Revenue Bonds (Global Water Resources, LLC Project), Series 2008 (the “Bonds”), issued on this date by The Industrial Development Authority of Pima County (the “Issuer”). The Bonds are being issued pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture dated as of December 1, 2006, (the “2006 Indenture”) between the Issuer and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a First Supplement to Trust Indenture, dated as of November 1, 2007 (the “First Supplement”) and by a Second Supplemental Trust Indenture, dated as of August 1, 2008 (the “Second Supplement” and, together with the 2006 Indenture and the First Supplement, the “Indenture”).

Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings specified in the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated September 12, 2008, among the Issuer, Global Water Resources, LLC (the “Company”) and Hutchinson, Shockey, Erley & Co.

We have rendered legal advice and assistance to you as to the requirements of Rule 15c2-12 prescribed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Rule”), in connection with your review, for purposes of the Rule, of the Continuing Disclosure Undertaking, dated as of the date hereof (the “Undertaking”) of the Company. Based upon our examination of the Undertaking, the Rule and such other documents and matters of law as we have considered necessary, we are of the opinion that, under existing law, the Undertaking complies in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Rule; provided, however, no view is expressed regarding the items comprising the Annual Report (as defined in the Undertaking).

Assuming the validity of the Bonds and the exclusion of interest on the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, as set forth in the opinion of even date herewith of Xxxxx Xxxx LLP and based upon our review of such documents and showings and related matters of law as we have deemed necessary and in reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that, under existing law, in connection with the offering, sale and delivery of the Bonds under the circumstances described

E-1

in the Limited Offering Memorandum (as defined below), the Bonds and the Loan Agreement are not required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Indenture is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

In accordance with our understanding with you, we also have rendered legal advice and assistance to you in the course of your investigation with respect to, and your participation in the preparation of, the Limited Offering Memorandum with respect to the Bonds dated September 12, 2008 (the “Limited Offering Memorandum”) and certain other matters related to the subject financing. Rendering such assistance involved, among other things, discussions and inquiries concerning various legal and related subjects and a limited review of certain documents, opinions and certificates of officers of the Issuer, the Company and other appropriate persons. We also participated in conferences and telephone conferences with your representatives and other persons involved in the preparation of information for the Limited Offering Memorandum, during which the contents of the Limited Offering Memorandum and related matters were discussed and revised. While we are not passing upon, and do not assume responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Limited Offering Memorandum, based upon our limited review of documents. and participation in conferences as aforesaid, without independent verification, no facts have come to our attention which lead us to believe that the Limited Offering Memorandum (apart from (i) the information relating to The Depository Trust Company and its book-entry-only system and (ii) the financial, operating and statistical data contained therein or in appendices thereto, as to all of which we do not express any opinion or belief) contained as of its date or contains as of the date hereof any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

This letter is furnished by us as counsel to you and is solely for your benefit. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law that may hereafter occur.
