The Town of Marana’s planned wastewater plant expansion has been in the works for some time, but now has funding in place to make sure it moves forward.

During their March 7 meeting, the Marana Town Council approved the sale and execution of up to $46 million bonds to fund the project as well as pay off a prior bond issuance so that debt may be paid off at a lower rate.

The town has explored various ways to fund the planned $21 million expansion of the town’s wastewater facility in north Marana. With the town linking the Saguaro Bloom community to the sewer system the facility is close to capacity. The expansion will allow the facility to handle up to 1.5 million gallons a day, nearly tripling what it currently handles. The expansion will allow the facility to handle up to 10,000 new homes or businesses in the area.
