FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESCOTT, AZ (October 19, 2026) – The City of Prescott and their project team are hosting a
community meeting on Monday, November 9, between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. at The Center
(1280 E Rosser Street) to highlight the 60% design plans for the Effluent & Wastewater
Pipelines & State Route (SR) 89 Improvements Project. The meeting will be an open-house
format with no formal presentation. Stop by anytime between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to view the
design plans and talk with the project team. If you can’t make the meeting in-person, project
information and meeting materials will be available on the SR 89 Improvements Project
Webpage at www.sr89improvements.com and the Virtual Meeting Room at https://meetingroom.norris-design.com/sr89-improvements-260604/
Project improvements being designed include a new effluent pipeline that will be installed from
Kieckhefer Ranch to Willow Lake Road to replace the existing, deteriorated effluent line. A new
sewer pipeline will be installed from Kieckhefer Ranch to Lillian Lane. The new sewer pipeline
will increase the capacity to convey wastewater to the Airport Water Reclamation Facility. This
new sewer pipeline will be installed in the current effluent pipeline trench, and the existing
effluent pipeline will be removed as part of this project. Roadway improvements will be made
along SR 89 to improve safety, traffic flow and access to adjacent properties. The scope of work
includes rock removal to improve sight visibility, consolidating driveways, intersection and grade
improvements, turning restrictions and turn lanes at some intersections. The project will also
realign the southbound approach to the Willow Lake Road roundabout, add a north-to-south
turnaround north of Twisted Trail, extend the southbound merge lane south of the Phippen Trail
roundabout and construct a frontage road along the northbound lanes north of the Willow Lake
Road roundabout.
