Authorization to Extinguish Easement for Abandoned Water Line (Ordinance S-52363) - Out of City
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to terminate and extinguish an easement located at 3007 N. Granite Reef Road, recorded October 1, 1949, in Docket 1949-0026001.
Report
Summary
The Verde transmission water main located within the easement was disconnected from the City of Phoenix water distribution system and left in place in December 2011. As a result, the 33-foot easement is no longer needed by the Water Services Department and can be terminated upon complete removal, crush-in-place or backfilling of the water main. As consideration for termination of the easement at this location, the property owners excavated and completely removed the water line within their property boundaries. Water Services staff confirmed that this work was completed in June 2025.
