EPCOR USA has completed a $21 million expansion of the Pecan Water Reclamation Facility located in the company’s San Tan water and wastewater districts.
According to a press release, the expansion increases the plant’s capacity by 1 million gallons per day (gpd), ensuring immediate system reliability for existing customers and helping to meet the future wastewater needs of fast-growing Pinal County.
The project met its 12-month timeline, which began in March 2021.
The newly expanded treatment facility will recycle roughly 717 million gallons (2,200 acre-feet) of water annually, supporting Arizona’s water-management goals and EPCOR’s environmental stewardship and sustainability commitments to reuse or recharge at least 90% of the wastewater EPCOR receives.
