Reclaimed Water Master Plan Implementation

Project Information

In support of its goal to use its reclaimed water efficiently in its highest and best use, the City of Peoria has begun several projects which will expand its reclaimed water system and provide opportunities for further expansions of the system. This website is dedicated to keeping all interested parties updated on the projects summarized below, and to providing a conduit for communication with City staff regarding questions or comments on those projects during design and construction.

Reclaimed Water Pipeline – Project 2

Project 2 of the New Reclaimed Water Transmission Pipeline will extend the city’s reclaimed water system 5 miles west from the Pleasant Valley Reservoir Site, generally located at the southwest corner of Lake Pleasant Parkway and Lone Mountain Parkway, to the intersection of Sunrise Point and Ridgeline Road in the Vistancia community. Completion of this pipeline project will connect the existing Vistancia reclaimed water distribution system with the recently completed Project 1 pipeline in Lake Pleasant Parkway, giving the city flexibility to move reclaimed water throughout north Peoria based on seasonal demands.

Construction of Segment 3 will begin in June 2025 and continue through early 2026. Construction of Segment 2 will begin in October 2025 and continue through spring 2026. Construction of the remaining segment will begin in 2026.

Reclaimed Water Pipeline – Project 1

As the first in a series of planned reclaimed water expansion projects, Project 1 extended a reclaimed water system 7.6 miles north from the Beardsley Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) for landscape irrigation and lake feature use, including use at the City’s new Paloma Community Park.

The intent of this first project was to provide a reclaimed system backbone to prepare for future growth in the northern extents of the city, enhancing the City’s ability to gain beneficial use of all reclaimed water produced and contributing to Peoria’s sustainable future.

Construction of the City’s reclaimed pipeline was completed in four segments for expedited delivery. Segment 1, shown in yellow, was constructed first, beginning in late 2021. The construction of the other three segments was completed in summer 2024.

Beardsley WRF Expansion

The Beardsley WRF is being expanded to increase the treatment capacity from 4 to 6 million gallons per day (MGD). The facility expansion is necessary to treat the wastewater flows that have increased over the past several years, as well as provide capacity for wastewater from future development in north Peoria. The project includes the construction of a new pump station, which will deliver reclaimed water to the Pleasant Valley Reservoir through the new Project 1 pipeline.

Construction of the Beardsley WRF Expansion will begin in August 2021 with anticipated completion in Summer 2025.

Beardsley Facility Expansion

Beardsley Pump Station

Pleasant Valley Reservoir and Booster Pump Station (BPS) Conversion

The Pleasant Valley Reservoir and BPS is being converted from a potable water facility to a reclaimed water facility. The facility will create a critical hub in the reclaimed water system expansion and allow for future connections to the Vistancia reclaimed system and future expansions north of Paloma Park.

Construction of Phase 1 of the Pleasant Valley Reservoir and BPS Conversion began in March 2024 and concluded in December 2024. Phase 2 will begin at the end of March 2025 and continue through June 2025.

1/13/2022

Segment 1 construction will begin next week and you should start seeing construction activity in the area of Beardsley Road and 111th Avenue. Please heed all signs and barricades and pay attention to construction workers in the area.

Also, the second phase of the Beardsley Road pipe evaluation (within pavement) will be starting up and should be complete by the end of the month.

Segments 2, 3, and 4 are on the track for completion of design and we expect to send them individually out for bid starting this spring.

12/15/2021

With Segment 1 construction set to begin in mid-January 2022, the construction notice below was sent out on December 14th. As noted, we anticipate 111th Avenue will be closed from Beardsley Road south to Cimarron Drive from January through June. Please heed all signs and barricades and pay attention to construction workers in the area.

Additionally, the pipe evaluation within Beardsley Road is on-going and should wrap up in the next month or so.

11/18/2021

The City’s contractor is preparing to evaluate the viability of the existing reclaimed pipe within Beardsley Road between 111th Avenue and Lake Pleasant Road/99th Avenue. Earlier this week, notices were mailed to properties which border Beardsley Road along this stretch. Please see the notice below for more information.

10/08/2021

At the City’s September 28^th Council meeting, a construction contract was approved for the reclaimed pipeline Segment 1 (Beardsley WRF to Rose Garden Ln). Prior to Segment 1 construction, the City’s contractor will begin evaluation of the existing reclaimed waterlines in Beardsley Road and 108^th and 109^th Avenues. Since this work entails digging into the pipes at several locations to insert a camera, you may see areas of traffic control set up along these roadways for short periods of time. This important investigation will help the City define whether the existing reclaimed pipelines are viable and what repairs may be necessary prior to their use.

Maricopa County has begun construction on a project to extend Deer Valley Road from 109^th Avenue west to El Mirage Road. A portion of the City’s Segment 4 reclaimed pipeline is located within the County’s project boundary near the intersection of 109^thAvenue and Deer Valley Road. In order to coordinate schedules effectively, the County’s contractor will install the City’s reclaimed pipeline within its project boundary before completing its roadway work in the area. That work should start in Fall 2021 per the County’s current proposed schedule. Later, the City will connect to the piping installed by the County and install the remaining Segment 4 reclaimed piping along the 109^th Avenue alignment.

Schedules for all of the work noted above are being finalized and affected residents will receive direct notification(s) as the construction times approach. City staff will post construction notifications and updates to this project website, as well.

In the case of work near 109^th Avenue and Deer Valley Road, any notifications will likely come directly from the County. Please contact the County’s Public Information Officer for this project, Bryan Pahia at (602) 506-0543 or Bryan.Pahia@Maricopa.gov for questions or concerns related to the County’s project in this area.

8/31/2021

The City is still moving forward with design of all segments of the reclaimed water pipeline and expects to announce a construction timeline for a few of the locations soon.

7/22/2021

Due to quickly escalating materials costs, the City has temporarily postponed construction of the reclaimed pipeline Segment 1 (Beardsley WRF to Rose Garden Ln) to evaluate cost-saving options. We will post more information as it becomes available and provide everyone with as much notice as possible before construction activities begin.
