The city of Maricopa is working with state and federal leaders to secure water resources and ensure a thriving and durable community, city officials said today.
Mayor Nancy Smith and City Manager Ben Bitter joined U.S. Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) and Army Corps of Engineers Col. Andrew Baker this week to sign an agreement allocating $6.5 million for an aquifer recharge project in the city. The city joins forces with Global Water Resources in the project.
“The agreement will allow the city to quickly contract and construct this critical infrastructure project,” Smith said. “The city of Maricopa is the fifth fastest-growing city in the nation. As such, new and improving infrastructure is key to building out our city and ensuring we will have valuable water resources for many years to come.”
