Within two years – one with any luck – Club West residents will no longer have to put up with a perennial browning of their golf course every summer, no matter who owns it.
That bold assurance comes from the man who is undertaking the construction of a pipeline that will irrigate the beleaguered course with water from the cooling towers of Salt River Project’s Kyrene Generating Station.
Rande Leonard, a longtime Ahwatukee businessman who owns Pecos Storage at Pecos Road and 32nd Street, said he isn’t spearheading the project just because he likes his community. He‘s a businessman and will make money from the transportation of and the water he sells to the course.
