Third Phoenix water interconnect
Tolleson has enough water even through drought and full build-out, but lacks treatment capacity for its SRP allotment. A new well tested at 3,500 gallons a minute (four times typical wells), and a proposed third Phoenix interconnect near 91st and Buckeye could add 2 million gallons a day — and could even lower rates if a major industrial user joins the system.
Aquatic Center Construction Ahead of Schedule
The new aquatic center — with lazy river, slides, and competition pool — is under construction and ahead of schedule, giving a weather buffer. The city hopes swim meets will bring visitors who eat and stay locally.
