Capital Improvement

Project Update

The project consists of the replacement of undersized, deteriorating water mains on Cherry Drive from Linden Rd. to Middlebrook Rd.  Cherry Drive will include approximately 860 LF of new 6-inch water main, additional fire protection with drainage improvements and full roadway replacement.

The utilities portion of the design is complete.  Drainage improvements and roadway design are underway and anticipate completed design in June.  Anticipated posting for bid once complete with construction beginning early-FY2026.

Project Update

The Prescott Fire Training Tower consists of a NFPA Certified Custom Fabricated Live Fire and Confined Spaces Five (5) Story Training Facility specifically prepared for Prescott Fire Department. The work includes but is not limited to the training tower and foundations, site preparation, to include removal of conflicting concrete slab, and importing select subgrade
materials, and grading to provide for positive drainage away from the tower.

Danson Construction has been selected to provide Design/Build services for the project, which
is in the early planning stage.

Project Update

The City has acquired the steel building components of a 125’ X 125’ (15,625sf) building.  The building components are stored at the old wastewater treatment plant on Sundog Ranch Road, and at other City owned facilities. This project includes retrofitting the building components to suit the future needs of the Streets Division. The work includes design and construction of the building to include office spaces, restrooms, ready room, locker rooms, equipment bays, storage areas, conference room, records storage room, dormitory, fitness center, mezzanine, and so on within the building.

Project Update

The City of Prescott Water Production Facility, located in the Town of Chino Valley, is the City’s primary source for water production. This project will replace the existing water booster facility in Chino Valley and will build the new intermediate pump station and tanks located near the Prescott Airport. This project will create a reduction in transmission pipeline pressure, improve production redundancy and provide additional storage capacity closer to Prescott.

City of Prescott Water Production Facility (Chino Valley):

The existing booster station is located in the Town of Chino Valley at the City of Prescott’s Water Production Facility, 251 N. State Route 89 (APN 306-23-077C). This project will consist of design and replacement of the City of Prescott water booster facility (buildings, boosters, electrical, controls). The facilities were originally built in the 1940’s and updates have been made to the facilities throughout the years to keep pace with the growing demand.  The current facility is undersized to meet future demands and the existing equipment has reached the end of its service life.  The facility replacement will ensure safe and reliable water supply to the City of Prescott service area. It is anticipated that the new booster station facility will have a firm pumping capacity of 14.0 MGD. By completing this project, the City will be able to provide additional reliability through higher efficiency and modernized equipment (buildings, electrical components, piping).

Intermediate Pump Station Facility:

The new intermediate pump station site is anticipated to be located about 1 mile north of Pioneer Parkway and 1 mile west of Willow Creek Road on currently undeveloped land; the site will be accessed from the east from Willow Creek Road. This project will provide the infrastructure to supply required redundancy to the existing water delivery system. This increases the overall reliability of the City’s water supply system by allowing the airport production wells to support the entire water system. Additionally, growth in north Prescott requires that a second pump station be constructed at the Intermediate Pump Station Facility that serves the surrounding pressure zone, Zone 110. The storage capacity required to meet fire demand and development growth needs have been determined by the City’s water model. The anticipated storage required for the intermediate pump station facility is 10 MG with the ability to expand to 15 MG. The intermediate pump station and the Zone 110 pump stations are anticipated to have a pumping capacity of 17.5 MGD and 8.4 MGD, respectively. Both pump station capacities will be evaluated further and confirmed during design.

Project Update

Watson Lake Reservoir has been listed as impaired for nitrogen, phosphorus, and dissolved oxygen. This project will help to address these issues and will generally consist of stocking the lake with herbivorous fish (White Amur) which would be the most environmentally sound management technique for weed removal, construction of fish barriers, installation of an aeration system, and an on-going maintenance plan.

Project Update

This project will upgrade an old inefficient sewer lift station by adding new wet wells and pumps to provide redundant pumping capabilities. The existing wet wells will be kept as an overflow containment area as well as an existing building on the site. New generator backup will be installed as well as an Odor Control Unit. Site work will include removal of the old treatment plant and equipment, installation of new fencing and maintenance road improvements.

Project Update

The project generally consists of removing two existing 200,000 gallon water storage tanks and replacing with a single 750,000 gallon water storage tank.  The project includes replacing the existing Mingus Pump Station to meet demands and upsize the pipeline between the pump station and the new tank.
