 Phoenix just got a huge water win as of Friday, with city officials announcing the securing of 179 million dollars in federal funding from the Bureau of Reclamation to build the North Gateway Advanced Water Purification Facility. Mayor Kate Gallego celebrated the moment at the ongoing Cave Creek Water Reclamation Plant, explaining this is part of a long-term push for water security and economic stability. Once online, both facilities will deliver 14,000 acre-feet of purified drinking water, enough for 40,000 families in Phoenix according to the city’s water department.

This comes as the city continues to look for new water sources, given recent reductions in Colorado River allocations and high demand on groundwater. Just last week, the Arizona Water Authority entertained six new proposals from private companies for future supply options though none will bring new water immediately. These efforts are timely with the area’s rigorous focus on sustainability and resilience.

Phoenix residents are also stepping up locally with the Save Water Pledge now set as a permanent campaign. Over 700 people have promised to find and fix leaks, water with the weather, and install water-efficient appliances, which Mayor Gallego says is crucial for sustaining the city’s future in this dry climate.

Turning to weather, rain provided a welcome break early this month. Pop-up storms on Labor Day dropped measurable rainfall around the Valley, with Central Phoenix recording 0.20 inches, Camelback Mountain 0.16 inches, North Scottsdale at Pinnacle Peak Vista saw 0.43 inches, and even Queen Creek got a big hit at 0.63 inches according to Maricopa County Flood Control District. Overall, September’s rainfall so far is about 0.18 inches, roughly 32 percent of the monthly average. Temperatures have hovered above normal, with highs peaking at 109 degrees on September 2 and dipping to 75 on September 4.

As of Saturday, September 6, dry air is moving into the state, effectively shutting off rain chances and signaling the end of the 2025 monsoon season. Michael Groff’s weather discussion on YouTube notes we’re transitioning to a typical mid-to-late September pattern, with fewer clouds and more stable conditions expected throughout the coming week.

For those concerned with water quality, Phoenix’s investment in advanced purification technology means even recycled water will be brought to potable standards, expanding the safety net for drinking water in the city. At the same time, local manufacturers like TSMC Arizona are working to reuse up to 90 percent of the water their chip facilities use, with a new ultra-pure industrial water recycling plant expected to be operational in 2028 as reported by KJZZ Radio.

As always, stay aware and keep the pledge in mind: find those leaks, check your watering, pick WaterSense appliances, and spread the word about water conservation.
