Greg Stanton toured Phoenix\u2019s Cave Creek Water Reclamation Facility on Monday, as the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation considers the city\u2019s application for nearly $300 million in funding under the Inflation Reduction Act to advance its North Phoenix Water Resiliency Strategy. The facility is currently undergoing renovations to allow it to utilize Advanced Water Purification technology\u2014transforming treated wastewater into safe, purified drinking water.\n\nStanton has repeatedly pressed the USBR to prioritize long-term water conservation projects for Inflation Reduction Act funding. In September, Stanton senta letter to USBR Commissioner Camille Touton in support of the city\u2019s application for IRA funding through the Lower Colorado River Basin System Conservation and Efficiency Program. \u201cAdvanced water purification is the single most important technology for reducing the reliance of municipal populations on the Colorado River,\u201d Stanton wrote. \u201cThe city is investing significantly in these projects. . . but to make [them] a reality, federal assistance is needed.\u201d He further raised the importance of the project directly with Commissioner Touton in a September phone call.\n\nStanton was joined on the tour by Rep.
