The Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration awarded Tri-City Regional Sanitary District $5.257 million on October 1, 2025, under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300) to construct a water reclamation facility, lift station, and sewer main extension in Globe, Arizona.

The Arizona Water Collection and Treatment System Project will extend sewer access to area businesses currently operating on failing septic systems. Upon completion, the infrastructure improvements will enable business expansion, attract new investment to the region, and support economic growth. A committed business project within the service area is expected to create 134 new jobs, retain 134 existing jobs, and generate $290 million in private investment across mining, medical, and other regional sectors.

The period of performance runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2030. Work is performed in Globe, Arizona. Tri-City Regional Sanitary District is a local government entity encompassing 5.3 square miles in Gila County. The recipient has secured sub-awards from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona targeting infrastructure improvements through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Clean Water State Revolving Fund Emerging Contaminant Fund.
