The week's water agenda includes Phoenix's infrastructure and planning items, led by an authorization to conduct a multi-agency Gila River System Optimization Study. Scottsdale will consider agendizing a discussion on expanding water conservation incentives and authorizing design services for a new booster pump station. Mesa staff recommends awarding a $17.1M Elliot Road contract with storm drain improvements tied to the East Maricopa Floodway. Phoenix's agenda includes a long list of water and wastewater system contracts—covering transmission main inspection, small-diameter pipe repair, meter replacement, lift station modifications, sewer rehabilitation, and more—plus a wastewater treatment plant support contract and water quality monitoring equipment. Smaller items include Scottsdale's request to accept a sewer easement, Phoenix's request to accept a drainage easement and flood-control district right-of-way, and a request for retroactive grant authorization for sustainable communities. Avondale will discuss water fluoridation, and Phoenix will consider applying for a Nature Conservancy tree-policy grant and a mutual indemnification agreement for EV charging infrastructure. Collectively, the week puts an emphasis on maintaining and upgrading the buried infrastructure that delivers water and treats wastewater, while also laying groundwork for long-term supply and conservation.
