Pima County’s Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department was among the first in Arizona to receive federal stimulus and is using the $10 million it received to build an interconnection between its Ina Road and Roger treatment facilities.

The five miles of 72-inch pipe will help alleviate capacity issues at the older Roger Road facility by taking it northwest to the Ina Road plant. As a result the Ina Road plant will process an additional 12 million gallons per day. Construction of the project is expected to be complete by December 2010.
