SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Town of Paradise Valley (Town) has two wastewater service providers. Portions of the southwest and northwest are served by the City of Phoenix which owns, operates and maintains the wastewater facilities in these areas. The remaining areas are served by the Town which owns, operates and maintains the collection system within these areas.
The Town's wastewater service area is provided wastewater treatment and disposal services through an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) entered into in 1998 with the City of Scottsdale (Scottsdale). The Town's wastewater is either pumped to Scottsdale's Water Campus or flows by gravity through Scottsdale's system to the Sub-Regional Operating Group (SROG) interceptor system, which conveys flows to the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Scottsdale is a member of the SROG. The Town's capacity ownership in the Scottsdale wastewater system is currently monitored by flow metering at 13 locations in the Town's service area for 13 wastewater drainage basins. Flows from 6 drainage basins are not metered; these flows are estimated using information from the metered areas. Town staff has worked with the City of Scottsdale to update the current IGA as a result of a proposed rate increase of over 50% by Scottsdale several years ago. Town staff will present the highlights of that draft IGA.
