Documents released yesterday through a public records request show Global Water Resources and the City of Maricopa have filed the first plans for a new aquifer recharge facility designed to put millions of gallons of highly treated wastewater back into the local groundwater supply.
The Maricopa Aquifer Recharge Facility would sit on the north end of the city on Powers Parkway near Lake View Park in the Rancho El Dorado neighborhood. Early plans submitted in August outline two percolation basins with the option for a third, a viewing fence and a small amenity area with educational signage explaining how recharge works.
