Title
Intergovernmental Agreement Amendment for Maricopa County Cave Creek Landfill Injection Well Project (Ordinance S-45910)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to an existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the City of Phoenix and Maricopa County to specify that the City of Phoenix will own the pipeline infrastructure near 3955 E. Carefree Highway during and after its installation, so that it can be installed within Phoenix’s existing reclaimed water easement across the Arizona State Land Department’s (ASLD) property. This amendment will not require additional funding from the City.
Report
Summary
The existing IGA between the City and Maricopa County was signed in October 2016. The City partners with Maricopa County on efforts to clean groundwater impacted by the Cave Creek Landfill in north Phoenix with use of an injection well near the landfill. The injection well recharges treated groundwater and creates a hydraulic barrier to prevent contaminated groundwater from entering City water supply wells. This amendment will not add time or money to the agreement.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact to the City for this amendment.
