The Superstition Area Water Plant owned by Apache Junction Water District is to be expanded to accommodate growth to the south including at the D.R. Horton and Brookfield Residential developments.
The facility on Ironwood Drive near Baseline Road is to be changed from a capacity of 2 million gallons per day to 4 million gallons per day, Water District Director Mike Loggins said during the Jan. 18 meeting of the water district board, which is comprised of city council members.
The water plant expansion and three other ongoing projects he briefed the board on will be funded initially by the developer before property owners in two community facilities districts will pay the developer back, Loggins said.
