The Chandler City Council is tapping into federal funds to ensure its residents and businesses have access to a reliable water resource. The council has greenlit a $3 million grant application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in a move to develop two new aquifer storage and recovery wells at Tumbleweed Park. These wells are a crucial addition to Chandler’s strategy to fortify itself against drought, and the grant could help take a substantial load off the total estimated project cost of $13.5 million, according to an announcement by the City of Chandler.
