For the Town of Queen Creek Interconnection with Diversified Water, Inc Project Public Noticed on August 27, 2020 in the Florence Reminder/Blade Tribune Newspaper.

The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona (WIFA) has received a request for financial assistance from the Town of Queen Creek for a Drinking Water infrastructure project. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public and request comments.

WIFA staff analysis concluded that the following project neither individually nor cumulatively has a significant effect on the human environment. Therefore, the following project qualifies for a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).

The Town of Queen Creek proposes to acquire Diversified Water Utilities, Inc, and install an interconnection to its water system. The project's primary intent is to physically consolidate two water systems into one public water system, as well as to consolidate the operations and management of the water systems. A combined system will provide stability to the service areas as it leverages the physical resources of both systems to provide redundancy in the event of infrastructure failure or repair.  

Documentation regarding the proposed project is available for review at WIFA, 100 N. 15th Avenue, Suite 103, Phoenix, Arizona 85007. All written requests for information or letters containing written comments should be addressed to WIFA at the address above. All written comments must be received no later than 5 p.m., 30 days from the publishing date.

WIFA complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Alternative formats for the project documentation are available upon request. Inquiries, requests and comments should be directed to Samantha Lemke, Environmental Program Specialist, at (602) 364-1326.
