Shaping Arizona’s energy future through sustainable hydropower

Jacobs has secured a contract to lead a pivotal Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Salt River Project, a major step toward shaping Arizona’s energy and environmental future. Salt River Project (SRP) is evaluating a new pumped storage hydropower facility to complement Apache Lake on the Salt River, which is home to diverse wildlife and some of the state’s most popular recreation locations. This innovative project will involve the construction of a new reservoir to serve as the upper reservoir, along with additional transmission infrastructure to connect to SRP’s existing 500-kilovolt (kV) Coronado-Silver King transmission line. Building on our existing relationship with SRP, Jacobs will assess the environmental impacts of the ambitious project. Since 2016, we’ve worked with SRP on numerous efforts, including a comprehensive master plan, long range facility master plan, various environmental, biological, and cultural resources on-call task orders, and permitting support on other key projects.

Future-focused: Enhancing water systems in Ohio

Nestled in western Ohio, the Village of Versailles is known for its small-town charm, strong community spirit and forward-thinking leadership. Now, the Village is taking a major step to secure its future by investing in critical water infrastructure — selecting Jacobs to lead preliminary design engineering for improvements to Versailles’ water treatment plant (WTP) and the expansion of its wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), both originally designed by Jacobs. The new upgrades will help maintain reliable service for a growing population and support key local employers, including Weaver Eggs and Midmark, while preparing for future development and evolving environmental regulations. “These infrastructure investments are about more than pipes and pumps — they’re about people,” says Jacobs Water Market Growth Director – East Central Melissa Hoffmeister. “By modernizing essential services, the Village of Versailles is providing residents and businesses critical access to safe, reliable water for decades to come.” The current WTP, commissioned in 2006, is rated for 1.5 million gallons per day (MGD) and uses a proven groundwater softening process. Planned improvements will add a parallel treatment train — boosting capacity and operational flexibility while preserving the Village’s trusted approach. The WWTP, originally designed with future expansion in mind, will be upgraded from its current 0.75 MGD capacity to accommodate increased flows and meet updated regulatory requirements. Jacobs’ scope includes evaluating treatment technologies, developing process flow diagrams and site layouts, engaging stakeholders and regulators, and identifying funding strategies to support implementation.
