Marana opens new water treatment plants
by Austin Counts | Tucson Local Media
The town of Marana opened two new water treatment facilities on Tuesday, March 23, after finding unregulated contaminants above EPA health advisory levels in late 2016.
In August 2018, the Mayor and Town Council approved the creation of the two treatment facilities at the affected water systems, Picture Rocks (Continental Reserve area) and the Airline/Lambert (Saguaro Bloom area) system. Construction for both sites began January 2019.
The Airline/Lambert water treatment campus is now fully operational, while the Picture Rocks water treatment campus is still undergoing processing tests, said Marana interim water director Stephen Dean.
