Maricopa City Council on Tuesday heard an update from Global Water Resources on steps the utility is taking after an August E. coli detection in the city’s water system. We are in compliance,” said Global Water Vice President and General Manager Jon Corwin, noting the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality has confirmed the issue is resolved. Since the Aug. 26 sample, Global Water has pulled 39 additional samples, all of which have tested negative for the bacteria. Corwin said Global Water is reviewing ways to shorten testing times and improve communication with the public. “We’re looking for those opportunities for improvement.”Smith suggested the city could also play a role by reposting Global Water notices on its website, newsletter and social media.
