Construction begins on Goodyear water facility expansion

Posted

Construction has begun on an expansion of the Rainbow Valley Water Reclamation Facility in Goodyear.

The project will increase the facility's capacity to treat wastewater to 2 million gallons per day, addressing the city's growth and the demand for water infrastructure.

“The expansion of the Rainbow Valley Water Reclamation Facility demonstrates our commitment to proactively address the needs of our growing community,” said Joe Pizzillo, Goodyear's mayor. “This infrastructure will take us well into the future.”

Goodyear operates three wastewater treatment facilities. Wastewater is transported through underground pipes from homes to these facilities, where it undergoes a multi-step process including testing, filtration, and disinfection. The treated water is then stored underground for natural filtration before being pumped back up for further treatment.

Reclaimed water is also used for irrigation, including watering golf courses, helping to reduce the demand on other water supplies. The city offers a range of water conservation programs and is a member of the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association.

Goodyear holds a 100-year assured water supply designation from the Arizona Department of Water Resources for existing and approved developments. The expansion is expected to be operational by December 2026.
