EPCOR USA Inc., has delivered on its promise to the Rio Verde Foothills community, construction of a permanent water solution is complete, and a new EPCOR-owned water filling station will open January 1, 2026 at 7 am local time.
“Promise made, promise kept,” said Shawn Bradford, Senior Vice President of Regulated US Water for EPCOR. “We were asked to step in and solve the water challenge facing Rio Verde Foothills. We assured the community we would deliver a permanent water solution, and we did.”
Bradford added that delivering the facility was the result of collaboration among multiple partners, including the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Arizona Legislature, Arizona Corporation Commission and City of Scottsdale.
“Together, we turned a challenge into a lasting solution that gives Rio Verde Foothills residents peace of mind for years to come.”
Located just southeast of the unincorporated community, EPCOR completed the water filling station, its one-mile pipeline and related infrastructure under an accelerated timeline, underscoring its commitment to innovate and deliver swift, effective water solutions. EPCOR will continue to provide the water through its existing water portfolio, as it has been doing since October 2023.
