Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant (GWRP)
Located in Gilbert, this facility is a 16-million gallon per day water reclamation plant that treats sewage from southeast Mesa, the southeast portion of the Town of Gilbert, and all of the Town of Queen Creek. This treated water is pumped directly to Gilbert's recharge facilities and to the Gila River Indian Community through an intergovernmental agreement for beneficial reuses on agriculture. The GWRP is undergoing expansion to increase Mesa's capacity of the existing plant by 10 million gallons per day.

BLOGGER NOTE: According to this report
"The Greenfield Water Reclamation Plant will undergo a $48 million expansion project to increase capacity and provide increased wastewater treatment services for Mesa and Gilbert. Mesa, Gilbert and Queen Creek share ownership of the plant, which began as a lift station in 1999. The facility later underwent a Phase II conversion to a reclamation plant.
The current project is part of the facility’s Phase III expansion and will increase the plant’s capacity by 14 million gallons to 30 million gallons of liquids per day. Ten million of those gallons are allotted to Mesa and 4 million are allotted to Gilbert.
“This expansion will help Mesa by supporting development and economic growth in South Mesa,” Mesa Water Resources Department spokeswoman Kathy MacDonald said via email.
The plant, in Gilbert, provides treated wastewater to the southeast portions of Gilbert and Mesa and all of Queen Creek. That water is used for golf courses, crop irrigation, greenbelt irrigation and recharging groundwater supplies.
