Chandler council approves new facility for drought protection

Project's revised cost moves to $45 million

The Chandler City Council has approved the agreements that will allow construction of a new reclaimed water interconnect facility, designed to  support drought prevention and expand reclaimed water uses. 

The project will be built at the Airport Water Reclamation Facility, 905 E. Queen Creek Road.

It will be “an advanced membrane water treatment facility to treat surface water from both Salt River Project and Colorado River sources,” the city stated in a release. “The additional supply of water produced from this facility will be used to supplement the city’s groundwater recharge efforts as well as supply additional water for industrial cooling at Intel’s expanded facilities.”
