Apache Junction Water District facility, employees wins awards
The Arizona Water Association has honored Apache Junction Water District’s facility with the Small Treatment Plant of The Year award. The association also honored water district staff, Carollo Engineers and Garney Construction with the Project of the Year award.
The association announced its awards on May 4 during its 90th annual conference in Phoenix.
The $9 million state-of-the-art Central Arizona Project water treatment plant, Superstition Area Water Plant, on Ironwood Drive just south of Baseline Road, went into operation in 2016 and now serves about 14,000 customers. Prior to the plant’s construction, the majority of the water received by the district was treated by the city of Mesa.
