Background Information

On February 28, 2014, Canyon Domestic Water Improvement District (CDWID) applied to Freeport-McMoRan for a grant in the amount of $50,000 for repairs and improvements to the existing water system that feeds water to approximately 550 County residents in Ice House and Kellner Canyon, and which had previously been managed by the City of Globe. CDWID was awarded the grant on May 16, 2014.

Evaluation

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Foundation awarded a grant to the Canyon Domestic Water Improvement District (CDWID) on May 16, 2014, in the amount of $35,000, for repairs and improvements to an existing water system that feeds water to approximately 550 County residents. The check was made payable to the County of Gila. Intergovernmental Agreement No. 061714-1/Agreement is being executed to allow Gila County to transmit the funds to CDWID.
