Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers! There’s a lot to discuss today, with plenty of new entries making their way into the West Valley’s vibrant and growing business and development communities. Whether you’re in Goodyear, Tolleson, Avondale or even far west in Phoenix, I have something that may be of interest to you this week. Looking for White Barn candles or other Bath & Body Works products? Check. A new hotel coming to Tolleson? Check. Mortgage lending and senior living? Got you covered! But to top it off, I’ll round out with some details about another approaching chamber Lunch N Learn, as well as West Valley Women’s July luncheon, which will celebrate the organization’s 13th anniversary. Here’s the news! First, a Bath & Body Works is coming to Palm Valley Pavilions in Goodyear in early July, according to a spokesperson at L Brands, Bath & Body Works’ parent company. L Brands also confirmed a White Barn Shop will be inside the store. The new Bath & Body Works will be located on the west side of Litchfield Road, south of McDowell Road. For more information, visit bathandbodyworks.com or bathandbodyworks.com/c/ home-fragrance/white-barn-shop. Moving along, a new Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott broke ground Friday, June 8, in Tolleson. (See related story in News.) The 116-room hotel is expected to open in summer of 2019, with guest rooms ranging from 265 to 465 square feet. It will also have handicap accessible
rooms. Floor plans show a fitness center; pool; laundry rooms; a business center; work, office and meeting rooms; lobby, lounge and breakfast areas; and a corner market. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott will be located at the southeast corner of 91st Avenue and McDowell Road. Then, two new Valley entries are here and celebrating their respective grand openings, courtesy the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. First is Mariposa Point at Algodón Center. Located at 3100 N. 91st Avenue, Phoenix, the new Mariposa Point will hold its grand opening event from 4 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 20. Surpass Senior Living owns Mariposa Point, an assisted living and memory care facility, which has locations in Gilbert, Mesa, Phoenix and Surprise.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase
In compliance with section 15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Tolleson Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Tolleson Union High School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the governing board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Tolleson Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $0.6767. The amount proposed above will cause Tolleson Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $67.67. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $1.58. These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the proposed tax increase scheduled to be held June 27, 2018 @ 6 PM at the Tolleson Union High School District Office, 9801 W. Van Buren St., Tolleson, AZ. 85353.

reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radiological material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Constituents that may be present in source water include: • Microbials, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganics, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

• Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

• Organics, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production. They can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.
Arizona Water Company provides groundwater to its White Tank customers from wells located throughout the White Tank area.
• Radiological material, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
All water samples are collected by state-certified employees of Arizona Water Company or by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”). Samples are analyzed by state-certified independent laboratories and the results are forwarded to ADEQ. The following report provides detailed information about the quality of the water delivered to customers. The water supplied by Arizona Water Company complies with all state and federal safe drinking water standards and regulations.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain constituents in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for constituents in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Arizona Water Company is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/lead. April 2018
Your drinking water complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“USEPA”) safe drinking water standard for arsenic, though it contains low levels of arsenic. USEPA’s safe drinking water standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems. Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.
DETECTED WATER QUALITY CONSTITUENTS - GROUNDWATER
Note: In addition to the constituents listed in this report, Arizona Water Company conducted monitoring for over 90 additional constituents and the results show none of those constituents were detected in the water. Data presented are from the most recent testing done in accordance with applicable regulations. Some constituents are monitored less frequently than once a year because either their concentrations do not change frequently or they are not likely to be detected. Therefore, some of the water quality testing data contained herein, although representative, may be more than one year old. If you have questions about this water quality report, please contact Regina Lynde, Environmental Compliance Manager, Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 29006, Phoenix, Arizona 85038-9006; telephone (602) 240-6860 or email mail@azwater.com.

This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your community water system has a fluoride level ranging from 1.0 to 2.2 mg/l.

Additional Constituents (Unregulated)
Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms may result in a brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water.

Water Quality Constituent
Drinking water containing more than 4 mg/l of fluoride (the USEPA’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/l of fluoride, but we’re required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2 mg/l because of this cosmetic problem. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, you may call NSF International at 1-877-8-NSFHELP.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. The presence of constituents does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about constituents and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to constituents in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial constituents are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
