Chandler, Arizona, recently completed construction on its $44.6 million Reclaimed Water Interconnect Facility (RWIF). The facility treats water from the Salt, Verde and Colorado rivers and utilizes Chandler’s reclaimed water distribution system for delivery to several aquifer recharge sites owned by the city. The RWIF project, completed by general contractor McCarthy Building Companies, is a membrane water treatment facility that allows the city to increase the volume of water delivered to recharge the aquifer beneath the city and enhance the sustainability of the aquifer. Aquifer health is a priority for the city because groundwater is a reliable back-up supply that may be needed during times of drought.
