A $3.5 million waterline funded under the Army Corps of Engineers’ 2022 spend plan will help extend Global Water’s service lines to the western portion of Maricopa.
Benjamin Bitter, the City of Maricopa’s director of the office of engineering and CIP development, said there aren’t specific plans the city has or designs to share yet since none have been submitted for review.
This “project is intended to extend Global Water’s service lines to the western portion of Maricopa,” according to information released from the bipartisan infrastructure bill signed by President Joe Biden. It will open the land to future development and for landowners to maximize their investment in the community.
This is one of numerous Arizona wastewater and water infrastructure projects proposed under the Army Corps’ spending plan, but the only one in Pinal County.
There’s an increasing demand for environmental infrastructure authority funds in states where water supplies are becoming more scarce, the bill’s proponents argued.
