The Native American water plant, commissioned in 2012, has a capacity of 2.25 million gallons per day and provides drinking water to community members and Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino.

It is the first surface water treatment plant for the Ak-Chin Indian Community, located in the Santa Cruz Valley of Southern Arizona, 50 miles south of Phoenix. GE also provided the technology for the Ak-Chin Indian Community’s nearby award-winning membrane bioreactor water reclamation facility.
