First Phase of Water Pipeline Rehabilitation Along Higley Road Wrapping Up Soon

Gilbert, AZ - In December 2025, the Town of Gilbert began rehabilitating water pipelines along Higley Road between Guadalupe Road and Ray Road. There will be subsequent phases of pipeline rehabilitation moving south on Higley Road, through the spring of 2028.

This scheduled critical infrastructure rehabilitation project ensures that your Town can continue providing safe and efficient utility services for generations to come by repairing and restoring the pipes to extend their lifespan and avoid costly replacements.

With this phase of the project nearly complete, the Town will begin reopening the valves along the Higley corridor beginning on Wednesday, April 15. This procedure will not impact water service; however, it will cause water to be redistributed through other lines. When this happens, sediment can sometimes stir up and cause discoloration in your tap water for a short period. The water is still safe to use. Town staff will promptly flush the system to clear discoloration, which should resolve within a few hours as water use increases.

This may impact households between Baseline Road and Williams Field Road (North to South), and Power Road to Val Vista Road (East to West) - see map below. After a couple of hours, if your water is still not clear, please contact us by calling (480) 503-6400. You can also submit a request via Gilbert 311 using the "Water - Quality (Brown Water)" category and our water team will follow up with you.

Traffic restrictions will remain in place through the end of April as the project team completes the final stages from Guadalupe Road to Ray Road. Later this year, work will continue along Higley Road from the Santan Loop 202 Freeway to Germann Rd.
