The provision of infrastructure, utilities, and services–both private and public–is key to the continuing success of Surprise. Water, wastewater, stormwater, waste, energy, and telecommunications systems must be expanded to meet current and new development needs as well as the creation of sustainable villages in the future. In the process of expanding these systems it is the city’s desire to make the systems as efficient, environmentally friendly, and visually unobtrusive as possible. To achieve this it will be necessary to work with private providers to plan for the needs of future technology.
