Jackie A. Meck Water Treatment Campus

As facilities reach the end of their intended life cycle, they need to be rehabilitated or replaced. The City of Buckeye faced such a choice with their Sonoran Vista Water Treatment Plant. The City decided to develop a new water campus using a progressive design-build delivery approach to address the plant’s deteriorating state, provide additional water capacity for future growth, and improve the quality of their underground water supply. They engaged us as part of the team to help.

As lead designer, we assisted in developing a master plan and designing early work for construction. This included two extraction wells, a new reservoir, and approximately four miles (six kilometres) of new conveyance pipeline. Our master plan adopted an approach to meet the City’s future water demand over the course of three phases, ultimately realizing a total capacity of 16 million gallons per day (MGD).

During planning, we also completed pilot testing of multiple treatment options to help inform future treatment plant design. We continued to advance the planning and design of the eight MGD treatment facility, with reverse osmosis, brine management, and ancillary water campus infrastructure.

Today, Jackie A. Meck Water Treatment Campus meets the City’s water needs and will provide safe, clean drinking water for years to come.
