City of Phoenix, Arizona, USA – Exploring treated augmentation
The City of Phoenix is planning to construct a new advanced water purification facility adjacent to the existing 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant to produce purified drinking water for the region. Pure Water Phoenix at 91st Avenue, a major advanced water purification facility in southwestern Phoenix, is envisioned to produce up to 80 million gallons (300 million litres) per day of purified drinking water. Design is anticipated to begin in 2028, followed by construction in 2030, with the project expected to be completed by 2033.
Pure Water Phoenix at 91st Avenue is a critical component of Pure Water Phoenix, a multifacility initiative to deliver new purified drinking water supplies for residents and businesses.
Phoenix already recycles about 97% of its 70 billion gallons (265 billion litres) of wastewater each year for beneficial uses including agriculture, energy production, urban irrigation, aquifer recharge, and wetland support.
