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

This project includes applying pavement preservation treatments to roadways within the Newport, Bradshaw, and McDonald areas. Treatments include Type 3 Micro Seal, Cape Seal, and thin asphalt overlays designed to extend pavement life and improve ride quality. The project also includes asphalt repairs in areas of pavement failure, crack sealing, mastic repairs, and repairs to curb, sidewalk, and ADA ramps. These improvements will help preserve the roadway network, improve accessibility, and provide a safer, smoother surface for residents and visitors.

Cactus Asphalt will be performing the work. Construction is currently scheduled to begin in mid to late July. Residents will be notified of any traffic impacts or temporary access restrictions as work progresses.

Project Update

This project is located on Hornet Drive in Yavapai Hills. The project generally consists of drainage improvements along Hornet Drive, possible trench drains, catch basins, and drainage channels. The project is in the later stages of the design process.

The engineering design contract has been awarded to Civiltec. The Final Plans have been submitted and reviewed, minor revisions are needed. The anticipated bid advertisement for this project is in the Spring of 2026, with construction is anticipated to start in the summer of 2026.

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

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.
