✂️ Ribbon cut, construction underway! 🚧

Gila County joined the Tri-City Sanitary District today for a ribbon cutting that marked the start of construction on the new wastewater treatment plant, a key part of Phase One of the district's sewer construction project.
Supervisors Humphrey and Christensen were on hand with U.S. Rep. Eli Crane, the Deputy Director of USDA Rural Development in Arizona, and district leaders to celebrate the milestone.

Thank you to everyone who helped move this project forward.
