Phoenix Water Treatment Plant Rehabilitation Wins Project of the Year Award for Drought Resilience
The 24th Street Water Treatment Plant Rehabilitation project in Phoenix has been awarded the 2026 Water Treatment Project of the Year by the Arizona Water Association. This recognition was announced during the association's 99th Annual Conference and Exhibition, which highlights projects demonstrating innovation, technical complexity, and long-term community benefits. The project, managed by PCL Construction in partnership with Carollo Engineers, focused on enhancing the reliability and resilience of a critical water treatment facility serving northern Phoenix. The upgrades aim to better manage ongoing drought conditions and reductions in Colorado River water supplies, ensuring consistent service to approximately 400,000 residents. Despite challenges posed by pandemic-era supply chain issues, the project was completed on time, maintaining uninterrupted water service.
