OPPORTUNITIES TO GROWCity of Goodyear

11

A Large Portion of Goodyear is in the Rainbow Valley Groundwater Basin

12

Goodyear’s Planning Area Includes Many Square Miles of Land in Rainbow Valley for a Sonoran Desert Lifestyle

13

Rainbow Valley’s Irrigated Lands can become Residential Neighborhoods

14

Multiple Development Plans Have Been Developed, Waiting for Buyers

15

WATER SUPPLY NEEDS

38 Wells in WPA4 and WPA 5.Is This Feasible?

27

Harquahala Well Water Supply may Provide Water to Goodyear, other Communities

28

Goodyear May choose to Participate in a Regional Water Treatment Facility

29

Goodyear may Choose to Construct its Own Treatment Facility

30

Goodyear May Wheel CAP Water Through Pinal County Canals

31

The Buckeye Canal Runs Through Goodyear, may have Water Resources that can be Purchased.
