Report
Summary
On Sept. 11, 2018, the City of Phoenix (Phoenix) executed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Avondale (Avondale) to treat and deliver Avondale’s Colorado River Water through Phoenix’s existing water infrastructure and distribution system for delivery to an interconnect constructed by Avondale. Phoenix now proposes to amend the IGA to account for water losses in the treatment and wheeling process to Avondale from Phoenix. The parties will assume a five percent loss occurring in treatment and transportation of Avondale’s water to the interconnect. This loss will count toward the amount of water that the City of Phoenix delivers to the City of Avondale (i.e. Phoenix will add this loss to Avondale’s meter reading at the point of delivery).
This amendment is necessary to provide for accurate accounting and water loss between the City of Phoenix and the City of Avondale.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Delivery, Treatment, and Wheeling of Avondale Colorado Water to Avondale through City of Phoenix Infrastructure IGA 148411 (Ordinance S-44009) on Nov. 1, 2017.
