# Welcome to the Live Stream of the Goodyear City Council Work Session - 09/21/2026

The City of Goodyear held a City Council Work Session on September 21, 2026, focused primarily on water service issues affecting the city. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a budget transfer on August 31, 2026, to purchase granular activated carbon treatment vessels to address elevated total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in the water supply. These vessels are expected to be delivered and operational by mid-October 2026 as a short-term solution, with a full-scale permanent treatment facility planned for 2031. The council also discussed the city's water supply portfolio, including impacts from Colorado River shortages and plans for advanced water purification facilities projected for 2036. The city is seeking a modification to its assured water supply designation to increase its water portfolio by 36% to support growth over the next ten years. Additionally, the council reviewed water allocation policies and upcoming enabling ordinances to manage water resources amid growth. Communication strategies to inform residents about water quality issues and infrastructure investments were emphasized. The session concluded with a vote to enter executive session regarding legal matters related to contracts and litigation associated with the Rainbow Valley development and fire apparatus antitrust litigation.
