Funded with a grant awarded through the Arizona Water Infrastructure Authority Water Conservation Fund, rainwater harvesting for aquifer recharge systems will be installed at the town library and police department in the town-owned wheelhouse sports complex and community center. According to Tracy Lund, Water Resources Advisor, Rainwater Harvesting for Aquifer Recharge is a twist on traditional water harvesting. Instead of collecting and storing rainwater and a cistern to be used for landscape watering, it is harvested from the roof and directed into the ground through a French

drain type system, she said. Project steps include engineering and system installation, along with the implementation of an outreach effort to provide public education and information on project progress. The town of Prescott Valley Council approved a contract with local firm Seville Tech Incorporated to conduct project engineering, slated for conclusion in June 2025. Lynn said Seville Tech has previously completed engineering for demonstrations of rainwater harvesting for aquifer recharge systems installed on buildings at the Yavipai County Adult Probation Center in Dewey Humboldt, Town of Chino Valley Library, and Territorial Elementary School in Chino Valley. Upon completion of engineering, the town will conduct a competitive process

to identify a contractor to complete installation, which is planned to start in the fall of 2025 and conclude in the summer of 2026, she said. Catch up with more local news stories on signalsaz.com. Subscribe and be the F-1 RSD 2-No.
