The City of Mesa’s central Mesa reuse pipeline has been named the 2026 American Public Works Association Arizona Chapter Project of the Year in the environment category for projects exceeding $75 million.
The state award recognizes this innovative infrastructure project designed to strengthen Mesa’s water resilience, according to a release.
The project includes approximately 10.5 miles of 36-inch pipeline and a new booster pump station that delivers reclaimed water to the Gila River Indian Community as part of an exchange that provides Mesa with higher prioritized Colorado River water.
