In the heart of our community, Liberty is working to protect water resources while also delivering economic value to our customers. Our Millennium High School Effluent Booster Station Project supports this endeavor, as it aims to make a difference for families, schools, and green spaces in the West Valley.
To achieve this goal, the project delivers “purple pipe water,” which is Liberty’s A+ grade recycled water, to more places than ever before. Purple pipe water can be used for irrigation, decorative features like fountains, and other non-potable uses. Commercial customers who receive and use this water instead of traditional potable water may be able to save money. This has the added benefit of helping to preserve the drinking water supply for all of our customers, as potable water is not being used for non-potable needs. It’s a win-win for everyone in the region.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Thanks to a $3 million grant from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA), most of the project’s costs for installing new infrastructure, such as a booster pump station, electrical controls, and thousands of feet of new piping, have already been covered.
Once construction is complete, three new purple pipelines will deliver recycled water to the City of Goodyear and Millennium High School, with plans to expand service to the City of Litchfield Park. The project is scheduled to break ground in January, and by the end of summer 2026, customers will begin to share in the benefits of conserving potable water.
The Millennium High School Effluent Booster Station Project is more than just an infrastructure upgrade--it’s a testament to Liberty’s commitment to environmental stewardship and economic solutions. By reducing demand for potable water, Liberty is moving toward a more sustainable future for our customers and communities.
