Tucson Water Files For Permit To Recharge Water Through Downtownby TIBO 1/05/2018 | 9:59 10 Posted in Downtown, Green, Infrastructure, Park, Rio Nuevo, Tourism, West side
It looks like Downtown Tucson may be getting closer to having a living Santa Cruz River running through its west side. Tucson Water recently filed for a permit with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to discharge treated effluent into the Santa Cruz River at Silverlake Road, just southwest of downtown. A portion of the permit description reads: “The Santa Cruz River Heritage Project is an important planned reclaimed water recharge facility near downtown Tucson that will allow Tucson Water to develop additional recharge capacity for the long-term storage of reclaimed water for future use while enhancing the downtown area with a perennial water feature.”
Pretty sweet. I can’t wait!
