Title
Salt River Valley Water Users' Association
Description
For $600,000.00 in additional payment authority for Contract 59580 for the Water Transportation Agreement to transfer water from the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association (Association) to the City and for Salt and Verde Rivers water delivery pursuant to water rights held by the City for Fiscal Year 2019-20 for the Water Services Department (WSD). WSD treats and delivers water for lands within the Salt River Reservoir District which have rights to the water stored and developed by the Association. The Union Hills Water Treatment Plant (UHWTP) closure resulted in the need to transport Central Arizona Project water through the Central Arizona Project Salt River Project Interconnect Facility. This incurs a charge of $37.50 per acre-foot of water. The closure of the UHWTP was longer than originally planned, thus resulting in higher costs than anticipated.
