Pima County won a new state permit that could help ring in a building boom on the northwest side.
The county exceeded its capacity fornew sewer-connection permits at the Marana Wastewater Reclamation Facility in 2010, forcing it to put around 340 planned residential and commercial buildings on hold for permits during the past two years.
The new state permit, which allows for significant expansion of the Marana plant and clears the way for new connections, “is very positive for the future of residential and commercial development in north Marana,” Southern Arizona Home Builders Association President David Godlewski said in an email.
“This clears any possible roadblock and provides an assurance to those looking to develop in that area they will have access to wastewater service,” he said.
