Phoenix Water Treatment Plant Rehabilitation Wins Arizona Project of the Year for Drought Resilience
The 24th Street Water Treatment Plant Rehabilitation project in Phoenix, led by PCL Construction, 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, executed in partnership with Carollo Engineers for the City of Phoenix, focused on enhancing system reliability and resilience at a critical treatment facility serving the northern parts of the city. The upgrades are designed to help manage ongoing drought conditions and reductions in Colorado River supplies, ensuring consistent water service to approximately 400,000 residents. Despite challenges such as pandemic-era supply chain issues, the project was completed on time, maintaining uninterrupted water service.
