After more than a decade of holding water and wastewater rates steady, the city of Buckeye is reviewing its utility rates to ensure the continued delivery of safe, reliable and sustainable service.
Rising costs for operations, materials and water supplies have made it increasingly difficult to maintain existing rates without impacting system quality and reliability. To guide this important effort, Buckeye City Council has established the 2025 Citizen Water and Wastewater Rates Committee (WRC), a group of Buckeye residents working alongside city staff to review data, evaluate rate structures and provide transparent, community-based recommendations to the City Council.
Residents are encouraged to learn more, ask questions and share feedback at one of three public meetings this November, where the committee and city staff will present their findings and recommendations:
- Nov. 3, 6 – 8 p.m. | Sun City Festival Fire Station 704 | 27360 W. Wagner Complex Dr
- Nov. 5, 6 – 8 p.m. | Buckeye City Hall Council Chambers | 530 E. Monroe Ave
- Nov. 6, 6 – 8 p.m. | Sundance HOA Ballroom | 930 S. Sundance Pkwy

Rooted in the Howard Hughes Communities™ legacy of thoughtful community building, Teravalis is designed around the principles of lifestyle, innovation, sustainability and the arts, with activities at the celebration honoring those founding values.
“Floreo Fest is more than a grand opening—it’s a celebration of a dream taking shape just west of the White Tank Mountains. In a very short time , Teravalis has transformed from vision to reality, with model homes now open, Echo Community Center under way , homes sold, and a community full of life beginning to unfold,” says Charley Freericks, Arizona Region President at Howard Hughes Communities. “This is a historic moment not only for Teravalis but for the entire West Valley, as we set the stage for generations of families, businesses, and cultural experiences to thrive here. We are eager to welcome visitors and future residents to come celebrate with us and glimpse the future we are building together.”
