The long-awaited 25-acre recreational water park with a surf lagoon is looking to break ground in Gilbert this December and open in two years.
The project is on the Tuesday, May 2, council consent agenda for approval of two amendments.
The amendments include a reduction in water-credit needs and an updated development schedule to the lease agreement between the Town and Cactus Surf Park LLC.
According to Rocky Brown, Parks and Recreational business manager, Cactus Surf Park has improved the project’s design to “use 60% less water than before.”
The developer is required to bring its own water supply for the project and is doing so by using recovered water credits delivered through the town’s potable water system.
The project is required to hold five years of long-term storage credits at all times.
