Report
Summary
Lift Station 72 (LS 72) and a 24-inch gravity sewer line were designed for future growth, which has not yet materialized, resulting in the low volumes of wastewater in the sewer line. As a result, sewer odors and insect infestations have occurred within the sewer line routed through the open desert within Arizona State Land Department property. Auto-flushing assemblies will be installed to supplement the flow of the wastewater collection system with potable water to increase the movement of wastewater flow and alleviate odors and infestation.
The easement is located within Maricopa County Assessor's parcel number 212-38-007D, along the east side of North 40th Street, south of Mayo Boulevard.
Financial Impact
Funding for this project is available in the Water Services Capital Improvement Program budget.
Location
Along the east side of North 40th Street, south of Mayo Boulevard.
