## Resource

Gilbert’s tap water remains safe, but two wells are offline due to PFAS detection—localized, not systemic—while the town assures ample supply. Local businesses like A&P Nurseries, whose plant health depends on pristine water, are feeling the strain. Residents are paying higher bills this April, funding a final year of critical infrastructure upgrades meant to stabilize finances and future rates. With Arizona facing looming Colorado River uncertainty, Gilbert is racing to modernize its water systems—including a major treatment plant overhaul and new wells—possibly catching up on years of deferred maintenance, while businesses scramble to secure their own water futures.
