City of Scottsdale Water Project

Beginning in the fall of 2020, Scottsdale is constructing four new aquifer storage and recovery wells at strategic locations throughout the city. This will allow Scottsdale Water to maximizing use of renewable surface water supplies (i.e. waters from the Central Arizona Project and the Salt River Project) and minimize use of groundwater.

ASR well #1, at the corner of N. Miller and E. Deer Valley roads, will be drilled within the existing Scottsdale Water well site at this location. The driller was required to install 20-foot high panels during the drilling operation to assist with noise and light abatement. However, noise and light will still occur during the drilling operation, which began on Oct. 30 and will occur on a 24-hour basis for a period of up to twelve weeks. Visit the project website or more information on the various stages of the project.

Retreat Gate Access

The guardhouses at both the Raptor and Talon Retreat will be undergoing a major remodel soon. You can read more about the project here.

The entry process will run much smoother for residents and their guests during the remodel if residents utilize the ABDI Gate Access website or app for updating their guest list. If you live in the Retreat Village, please take a moment to log on to gateacess.net (or download the ABDI Gate Access app on your mobile device) and update your contact and guest information.
