The city of Phoenix plans to open a multibillion-dollar purification facility to recycle wastewater into drinking water by the end of the decade.
Phoenix water services director Troy Hayes tells us the purification process will deliver water that's as clean — or cleaner — than what comes out of the tap today.Cities across the country, including Phoenix, have cleaned wastewater to a level that's safe to release back into rivers for decades, Hayes says. The planned purification facility will take the treatment process one step further.
All of those cities have expressed interest in contributing to the new facility, as have several others in the Valley, Hayes says.Phoenix plans to spend the next year hammering out an agreement with all interested cities. After that, it will take about five to six years to build out the plant, Hayes says.Flashback:
