•Yellow borders/cross-hatch =
contracted TW areas (no issues)
•Dark brown = served by MW (no
issues)
•Dark blue = served by TW with
current IGA; MW provides water
resources (no issues)
•Wheeling IGA = allows MW to serve
tan & light blue areas that can be
reached with TW infrastructure
Current Water Service in Marana: Big Gaps
•Deliver portion of Marana’s CAP allocation (wet water) to Tucson Water’s underground
storage facilities (SAVSARP and CAVSARP)
–Demands estimated and ordered annually
•Water is pumped and delivered to the points of connection via Tucson Water
infrastructure
–Recovered water through Tucson Water’s wells
•Applies to areas within Marana town limits regardless of service area
•Blanket agreement; can be applied to multiple areas
Proposed Wheeling IGA
•Marana will sign off on assured water supply; Water supply will be permanent for each
development
•Tucson Water will verify that they can meet the demands of the proposed
development; Identify any infrastructure improvements required
•Point(s) of connection will be a valve or location decided by the Directors (or
designees)
•All infrastructure and customers within development will be Marana Water’s
•Customer meters will serve as billing meters
Proposed Wheeling IGA
•Will be reliant on
Tucson Water for
water service
reliability and water
quality
•May create satellite
water systems
