Mayer Water District Residents,
I would like to say a huge thank you to my field operators for working 23 hours straight to fix 4 different leaks, Canyon Edge Excavating, Bradshaw Mountainview Water and Quality Water Services for coming out last minute and helping us, my office clerk for fielding all of the phone calls that came in especially when she was not able to give anyone a time frame of when the water would be restored, Bill Roberts for picking up gravel materials for us. I would also like to thank the numerous kind encouraging comments from community members who, while frustrated they did not have water, were still kind and understood how hard we were working. I would like to apologize to everyone for not communicating better, after the leaks were repaired, the valves were opened, and wells turned back on that it would still take some time for the water to be fully restored to each home.
We try our best to communicate with the community when there are water outages. But not everyone has Facebook or emails, we don’t have current phone numbers for many of our customers, and while working in the field we are not able to update our website. There is no perfect solution, but we do try our best to make every effort to let the community know when there are outages. The office may close at noon Monday through Friday but our after-hours emergency line 928-830-2747 is 24/7.
Leaks are common as we have an aging distribution system, with thousands of feet of waterlines needing to be replaced. Thankfully we received a $1 million ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) Grant from Yavapai County to be used for infrastructure improvements. With this grant we are hoping to replace between 3000 – 9000 feet of water lines. The amount of waterlines we are able to replace will depend on the cost of materials as well as labor. We are extremely grateful the County chose to give us this grant as we are among the few in Yavapai County that received this large of an amount. The time frame for this project is between January 2023 – December 2026. Because the ARPA Grant is from the Federal Government the regulations on the process of how the funds can be dispersed to us is restrictive and lengthy. While the ARPA Grant won’t be enough to replace everything, it will be a start. We continuously look for grant funding opportunities to improve the distribution system. The ARPA Grant is unique in that we are not required to match funds or acquire a loan.
If you have any question about our APRA Grant please feel free to contact me.

We had a main line break on Central which is being repaired at this time. We will get the water restored as quickly as possible.
Due to the storms over the weekend, the integrity of the bank near the Big Bug Wash close to the water line has been threatened. Mayer Water District has been working on preventing further damage, but if another significant storm occurs, there is a possibility it will take out the water line impacting water availability to residents in Mayer.
We encourage residents to prepare by creating and storing an emergency water supply. Recommendations are to store at least one gallon per person per day. Also, remember to have adequate water for any pets.
Please check our website at mayerwaterdistrict.com and here on Facebook for updates. If you have any questions please contact the office at 928-632-4113 Monday thru Friday 8am - 12pm.
