Report
Summary
WSD is responsible for much of the sanitary sewer and potable water facilities at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport located both airside and landside, including the 72-inch sewer line that passes through the airport. It is recommended that an infrastructure strategy be developed that allows for a campus-like provision of water and sewer services in which the WSD is responsible for public mains leading to the airport, and the airport is responsible for water and sewer lines within its campus.
Garver, LLC will identify the on-site public water lines and appurtenances that will be turned over to the airport for their ownership and maintenance; identify any new water distribution main/loop alignments; identify new water service connection locations; identify any public water and sewer ownership mapping issues or discrepancies; develop preliminary cost estimates for water and sewer design and construction phases; develop preliminary design plans for all the recommended new water and sewer main alignments; provide a study report documenting the means and methods used for selecting the alignments and transferring ownership, provide all information gathered, describe how the recommended alignments were selected; and provide a draft and final version of the study.
