Peoria expands wastewater treatment plant to support rapid northern growth
As the Valley grows, so does the pressing question: Is there enough water to support everyone? In Peoria, this concern is at the forefront. The city is unlocking thousands of acres for new development and welcoming a significant Amkor semiconductor plant. To meet the increasing demand, Peoria is expanding its Beardsley Water Reclamation Facility, aiming to increase its capacity and send more reclaimed water to the growing northern region of the city. This expansion is crucial for treating the rising wastewater volumes, for use in public green spaces, construction, street cleaning, replenishing groundwater, and ensuring a sustainable water supply for the city’s future. … While this reclaimed water isn’t used for drinking, its increased availability means that more potable water remains accessible to residents.
