Site work and new construction of a water / sewer project in Chandler, Arizona. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a water / sewer project.

The Wastewater Master Plan reviewed alternatives for the retirement of the Lone Butte Wastewater Treatment Facility. The City notified the Gila River Indian Community to extend the lease of the Lone Butte Wastewater Treatment Facility to 2027. This program funds the design for replacement of the facility in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-23 and the construction beginning in FY 2024-25. In preparation to transfer operations of the Lone Butte Wastewater Treatment Facility back to the Gila River Indian Community, a dredging project will commence in FY 2025-26 for removal of sludge from the treatment ponds as required by the lease agreement with the Gila River Indian Community. Sustainability, efficient operation, and life cycle cost issues are considered in all facility improvement projects. Specific items considered as part of these projects include the use of premium efficiency motors and pumps, variable frequency drive units, improved longer lasting materials, water reuse, improved waste handling, and the use of solar power when appropriate.
