As part of their contract with The City of Globe for the water meter changes, Phoenix Water Solutions (PWS) is performing a service line inspection to determine if the City’s service line or a customer’s water service line may contain lead. The City of Globe is required by Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) to complete this process by November 2027.
The inspections must be done at 3 points:
1) City’s side of the meter (done at time of meter change)
2) Customer’s side of the meter (done at time of meter change)
3) 18” from the home or building (still needs to be completed)
A PWS member will be entering your property to get the 3rd point inspection. They will attempt to make contact with a resident and then will proceed to locate a visible water line within 18” of the home or structure and will be taking pictures. If you have any questions, please contact Stephen Smith, City of Globe Construction/Utility Inspector at 928-200-9297.

Reminder to the community: Survey markers may be placed in select areas, beginning today, as part of upcoming aerial mapping for flood mitigation planning. These markers help ensure accurate data collection and should not be disturbed.
Manned aerial mapping flights will take place in the coming days and weeks.
Manned aerial mapping flights will take place in the coming days and weeks.
Beginning the week of February 9, surveyors will be in the field setting the ground control for the aerial mapping. A total of 35 targets will be set for 3 mapping areas.
The areas are: Upper Pinal Creek, Six Shooter Canyon, and Russell Gulch. The targets will typically be visible as white “X” markings on the ground. Please do not disturb these markings.
Within the next few weeks, a manned aircraft will fly these areas at a flight height of approximately 1,000 feet to obtain new aerial imagery and LIDAR data to develop topographic mapping for these areas. This mapping will be the basis of improvement plans associated with upcoming flood mitigation work.

Globe City Council joined leaders from Globe, Miami, & Gila County to speak at the State Capitol on the Sept. flood impacts.
Walt Blackman sponsored HB-2070 to allocate $25M for disaster costs. This bill passed this step unanimously w/bipartisan support & now moves forward.
Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Flood Mitigation Town Hall and took time to learn more about mitigation efforts along Pinal Creek. We appreciate the thoughtful questions and community engagement around an issue that affects us all.
The City of Globe has been approved for the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to move forward with flood recovery that helps reduce risks to life and property.
A critical next step is property owner participation. This program operates under a strict 220-day timeline, which includes both evaluation and construction. To stay on schedule, the City must receive Right of Entry (ROE) signatures from property owners along the creek as soon as possible.
ROEs allow engineers and City staff to access the creek for evaluation and planning only. They do not transfer ownership and do not authorize construction.
If you are a property owner in Pinal Creek, and within the City of Globe limits:
📍 ROE forms are available at City Hall or can be downloaded online at https://www.globeaz.gov/o/cog/page/city-of-globe-flood-mitigation-plan. Staff are also available to answer questions and assist with signatures.
Thank you to those who have already participated and to everyone continuing to work with the City as we take these important steps toward reducing future flood risk.

This week, City of Globe staff have been actively working with both Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs (DEMA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide detailed, on-the-ground insight into the extent of flood damage affecting City-owned public infrastructure.
This work has focused on direct coordination, site-specific discussions, and ensuring state and federal partners have a clear understanding of how the flooding impacted public facilities, roadways, drainage systems, and other critical assets.
City teams have been walking sites, answering technical questions, clarifying damage conditions, and sharing documentation developed over the past several weeks. This hands-on coordination helps ensure damage information is accurate, complete, and reflective of real-world conditions as recovery discussions continue.
For ongoing updates, resources, and recovery information, residents and property owners are encouraged to visit the City of Globe Flood Information page at https://www.globeaz.gov/o/cog/page/flood-information-page

We are aware of a water main break affecting residents in the Six Shooter Canyon area.
Public Works crews are already on scene and actively working to repair the issue. Service restoration is anticipated by this afternoon.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as crews work to restore service as quickly and safely as possible. Updates will be shared if conditions change.
Did you know?
More than 80% of the creeks in Globe are privately owned.
That matters because access is needed to evaluate drainage, remove sediment, and plan flood mitigation efforts that help reduce future risk. Without access, the City’s ability to do long-term mitigation work is very limited.
This recent flood was different. The volume and force of water exceeded what many areas are designed to handle, making careful evaluation an important and crucial next step.
The City is working with property owners along Pinal Creek to gather information needed for flood mitigation planning and potential design.
The first step in this process is obtaining a Right of Entry (ROE), which allows evaluation and planning only.
Flood mitigation starts with understanding how the waterways have changed through our community.
