Water in the Desert

You are standing in front of a cross section of the same pipe used to transport wastewater to Palo Verde through 36 miles of underground pipe from the 91st Avenue and Tolleson Wastewater Treatment Facilities. Instead of using valuable natural resources, Palo Verde purchases 20 billion gallons of wastewater effluent annually from Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Tolleson.
