Report
Summary
Phase I of this project is to implement standby power systems at the Phase I facilities including the Cave Creek Corridor Booster Pump Stations (6A-B1, 7A-B1, and 8A-B1), Union Hills Water Treatment Plant (WTP) pressure zone 5E, and Deer Valley WTP pressure zones 1, 2A, and 3D finished water booster pumps. This project will also develop a roadmap for implementing power redundancy in future phases to maintain potable water production at the Union Hills, Deer Valley, 24th Street and Val Vista WTPs.
