📢 WATER DEPARTMENT NOTICE 💧

The Water Department has recently placed Well 18 into operation and is continuing to make adjustments to its valves and monitoring systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

As these adjustments are being completed, residents may occasionally notice water being discharged from the water tank. While every effort is being made to minimize these occurrences, additional discharges may be necessary during this process.

Our staff is working diligently to complete the system configuration and reduce the likelihood of future discharges.

🙏 We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue improving our community's water infrastructure.

Thank you.

✈️ Exciting news for Douglas!

The City of Douglas has been awarded a $750,000 grant from the National Park Service to support the rehabilitation of the historic large hangar at the Douglas Municipal Airport. This important investment will help preserve one of our community's most significant historic assets while supporting future improvements at the airport. ​
​
The project includes an architectural assessment of the historic hangar to develop a rehabilitation plan and estimate construction costs. Additional improvements will include apron resurfacing and a fog seal coat for the runway.

In addition, the Arizona State Transportation Board approved a $375,000 state match grant, helping the City meet grant requirements and freeing up funds for other needed airport rehabilitation projects. ​
​
As Mayor Grijalva noted, the Douglas Municipal Airport, recognized as the nation's first international airport, is both a local treasure and a nationally significant asset. This funding will help ensure its preservation and continued service to our community for years to come. ​

We thank the National Park Service for its partnership and investment in Douglas' history and future! 🎉✈️
