Report
Summary
This Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) allows the City of Phoenix to provide water and sewer connections at the City of Glendale’s Thunderbird Conservation Park, located southwest of 55th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road. Although the park is inside Glendale’s water/sewer service area, Glendale does not have water or sewer infrastructure near this park.
The IGA allows Phoenix to supply water and sewer from existing adjacent water and sewer infrastructure. At its own cost, Glendale will install a sewer tap and two water meters (landscape and domestic water) to connect water and sewer to the park. Glendale will complete the connections at Phoenix's points of delivery and discharge on the north side of Pinnacle Peak Road. The total metered flow at the park connections must not exceed 12-acre feet on a rolling 12-month basis.
Contract Term
The initial term of the IGA is 10 years, with one option to extend an additional 10 years.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City of Phoenix. The City of Glendale will cover all costs for the installation of water and sewer infrastructure and pay outside of the City water/sewer retail rates.
Location
55th Avenue and Pinnacle Peak Road.
