Is there any way to expedite the review of my project?
The review and approval of a project may be expedited by paying an expedited review fee. An expedited review doubles the initial and maximum fee amounts for the project.
The review will be expedited, with the project being reviewed ahead of non-expedited projects. However, no guarantees can be made regarding the length of time the review cycle will take to complete because the review cycle time is dependent on the quality of the engineering design, the level of detail contained within the submitted project documentation, and the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program's current workload. For more information, please call 602-506-1069.

Show All Answers
1.
What types of projects are reviewed and approved by the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program?
Find information about the types of projects reviewed and approved by the
Water and Wastewater Treatment Program
.
2.
What is the review and approval process for a project?
The review and approval process for typical water, wastewater or reclaimed water Approval To Construct/Approval Of Construction project is detailed in the Review and Approval Process Flow Diagrams.
Additional information about the review and approval process can be found on the
Project Approvals page
.
3.
How do I submit a project for approval?
Projects requiring approval are submitted by sending a transmittal letter, an application form, a check for the initial review fee and the relevant documentation for the project to the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program.
Multiple projects cannot be submitted on a single application. However, a project may have multiple components bundled into a single project. For example, a reclaimed water project may include a recharge basin, recovery well, storage tank and booster pump station components.
Application and instruction forms for submission of projects can be found on the
Downloads page
.
4.
Whom should I contact if I have a question about submitting a project?
Find out who to contact if you have any questions you may have about
submitting a project
.
5.
How can I obtain application and instruction forms?
Application and instruction forms can be obtained from the
Downloads page
.
6.
Where can I get the PWS or WWTF name/identification information for the application form?
The Public Water System (PWS) or Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) name/identification information should be available from the owner of the water/wastewater treatment facility or system if the project is an extension to an existing water, wastewater or reclaimed water system. The identification number usually takes the form of 04-07-### for Public Water Systems and 04-37-### for Wastewater Treatment Facilities, where ### is the specific identification number for a particular facility or system. Reclaimed or reuse water projects should list the name and identification information for the primary Wastewater Treatment Facility supplying the reclaimed water for reuse.
If the project is for a new facility or system please contact a staff member of the
Water and Wastewater Treatment Program
.
7.
Where can I get the township, range and section site location information for the application form?
The township, range and section site location information can be obtained from the Maricopa County Assessor and from some commercially available road maps. If the parcel number or address of the property is known, the information may be obtained by doing a Parcel Search at the Maricopa County Assessor's web site. Otherwise, the information may be obtained from the GIS Maps by doing an Interactive Maps search at the
Maricopa County Assessor's website
.
8.
What type of documentation needs to be included in my project submittal package?
The type of documentation submitted to the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program for review and approval will vary depending on the characteristics of a
particular project.
9.
How much will it cost to get my project approved?
The fee amount charged for the initial review depends on the type of project, the capacity of the facility being approved and number of
project components
.
10.
Do I need to meet with the MCESD prior to submitting my project?
A meeting prior to submitting your project is not required. However, if your particular project is very large or complex, is time constrained, involves prototype or novel equipment or processes that may not be familiar to the MCESD's engineering staff, implements a design based on pilot testing data, or impacts the operation and maintenance of an existing facility or system, then it is strongly recommended that you meet with staff from the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program prior to submitting your project to ensure that the review and approval process proceeds smoothly. For more information, please call 602-506-1069.
11.
What happens after I have submitted my project?
When your project is submitted to the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program it will be logged into our database and assigned a project number. When the review of the project is started a Water and Wastewater Treatment Program staff member will contact you. For more information, please call 602-506-1069.
12.
How long will it take to get my project reviewed and approved?
The length of time it takes to obtain an approval depends on the following factors:
- The current workload of the Water and Wastewater Treatment Program staff. If a number of projects are already queued for review your project will not be reviewed immediately.
- The degree of difficulty of the project. Complex projects take longer to review.
- The quality of the engineering design and the level of detail contained within the submitted documentation for a particular project. If the engineering design is complete and all regulatory, operational and maintenance concerns have been addressed, the review and approval process will be relatively quick.
The Water and Wastewater Treatment Program cannot guarantee how long it will take to review and approve a particular project. However, experience has shown that the quality of the project submittals usually determines the duration of the review and approval process.
Prior to submitting your project to discuss this issue please contact a staff member of the
Water and Wastewater Treatment Program

For more information, please call 602-506-1069.
14.
Is there any way to get my project reviewed and approved in phases?
The review and approval of a project may be phased by paying a phased review fee. A phased review doubles the initial and maximum fee amounts for the project. If an expedited phased review is requested this would result in a quadrupling of initial and maximum fee amounts for the project.
A phased review may be performed for a very large project or a fast track project. A phased review allows for the engineering design and construction of a project to be broken up into packages. For example, site grading and rough-in work can be reviewed and approved and construction started before the detailed treatment process design is complete, or multiple process units can be reviewed independently of one another during the engineering design process as the detailed design work is completed for each individual process unit.
A phased review requires the submission and approval of the final Engineering Design Report prior to any Design Drawings, Technical Specification or Plans being approved for any phase. For more information, please call 602-506-1069.
