Industrial water system expansion for the industrial park

Summary

Goodyear and other industrial users depend on a single 50-year-old water line, one pump station, and one tank — six outages in five years cost Goodyear an estimated $3-3.5 million. Council backed a backup pump station and pipeline replacement totaling up to $25 million, but only if state grant money comes through.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Full buildout could reach about $25 million; the city won't commit design dollars unless the state grant lands.

✅Who benefits

Goodyear, Bar-S, Republic, and other industrial employers — plus the jobs that depend on them — get reliable water service.

⚠️Who could be affected

None directly; taxpayers bear risk only if unfunded phases are later pursued with local dollars.
