Water is officially flowing at the new Goodyear Surface Water Treatment Facility at 4980 S. 157th Avenue.
The new facility, which opened Jan. 6, helps diversify the city’s water supply by adding surface water into the mix. Previously, all the city’s water supply was groundwater. The new plant is initially treating 8 million gallons of surface water a day.
With future expansion, the facility can reach 16 million gallons of water a day. As the ninth fastest-growing city in the country, this investment ensures that Goodyear can meet existing water needs, while also making sure there is plenty of water for further growth.
