TITLE
The Mayor and Council shall discuss and possibly take action to approve a Recycled Water User Agreement with Global Water Resources for the lake at Pacana Park. Discussion and Action.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
Global Water Resources (aka Palo Verde Utility Company) provides recycled water to the City owned lake at Pacana Park.

Obtaining the Type 3 permit prevents each end user from having to obtain their own Type 2 permit through ADEQ. Without either this agreement or the City obtaining a Type 2 permit from ADEQ, Global Water can not legally deliver recycled water to the lake at Pacana Park.
