Small Community Water Systems Interconnection Feasibility

Summary

The city evaluated a proposal from ADEQ to connect three small private water companies near Willow Lake to Prescott's system to mitigate high PFAS levels. Under Alternative 1C, the city would supply water via master meters with full funding from ADEQ, bypassing the need for annexation or new sewer lines.
