$2.1 million has been awarded to the Town of Prescott Valley from the federal Interior and Environment Appropriations Bill for its PFAS Treatment and Recharge Well Project.

Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema announced that the money awarded to Prescott Valley is part of $126 million in federal investments for Arizona priorities and projects that support local law enforcement, flood control efforts, western rural water, “forever chemicals” removal, military installations, transportation, and more. These were passed as part of the first annual government funding bill for Fiscal Year 2024.

Prescott Valley’s share of the money will allow for direct injection of high-quality, PFAS-free treated wastewater into the aquifer. This will support recharge efforts while protecting water quality within the aquifer.
