In 2018, as part of continuing efforts to diversify its water supply and plan for the future, the city of Phoenix initiated the $250-million Drought Pipeline Program.
As one of five projects that are part of the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction program, the West Bank and Vicinity project improves hurricane and flood-control protection, decreasing the potential for damage in New Orleans and the surrounding parishes.
With chronic droughts draining reservoir levels to 30% capacity or less in Abilene, the city hired a team to complete the installation of an advanced water treatment system as part of a major upgrade project to the city’s Hamby Water Reclamation Facility (WRF).
