At Phoenix General Contractors, we know the work that keeps our communities safe and healthy often happens behind the scenes. Take wastewater treatment plants, for example. They’re essential for public health—but upgrading them isn’t exactly glamorous. That’s why we’re proud to share a recent project we completed for El Paso Water: the replacement of critical sluice gates at the John T. Hickerson Wastewater Treatment Plant in El Paso, TX.

In the world of water infrastructure, the most critical systems are often out of sight—but never out of mind. Underground reservoirs, like Clearwell No. 3 at the Robertson/Umbenhauer Water Treatment Plant in El Paso, are essential to delivering clean, reliable water to communities. When their integrity is compromised, there’s no room for delay.

In the world of government contracting, technical proposals, bonding capacity, and small business certifications all have their place—but if you ask most Contracting Officers what weighs heavily in award decisions, the answer is consistent: past performance.

This month, we’re spotlighting a project that’s all about flow — literally. From reinforcing baffle walls to paving new paths for water runoff, our team delivered smart, sustainable improvements to the Jonathan Rogers Settled Water Pump Station for El Paso Water. It's another example of how our 8(a)-certified team handles federal and municipal facility needs with precision and care.

In this issue, we’re putting the spotlight on lift stations—a behind-the-scenes powerhouse in municipal infrastructure.

This month, we are highlighting the critical role of boiler maintenance in federal facilities across the nation.
