EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure and SRP Partner to Improve Arizona Watershed and Forest Health
DENVER, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure, a wholesale data center developer, owner and operator with a location in Mesa, Ariz., has announced a contribution of $288,419 to support SRP's Resilient Water and Forest Initiative. This initiative addresses the unhealthy forests and devastating wildfires that threaten the health of SRP's watershed and, in turn, SRP's ability to deliver clean, reliable water to the Phoenix metro area.
- "We are grateful to companies like EdgeCore that demonstrate sustainability leadership and partner with SRP to tackle the goal of preventing future devastating wildfires in Arizona's forests," said SRP Manager of Water and Forest Sustainability Elvy Barton.
- Most of the water delivered to SRP customers comes from snow and rain that falls on 8.3 million acres of forested watershed in northern Arizona.
- SRP is working with Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management, Tonto National Forest and other partners on this project.
- Without these efforts, catastrophic fire can cause significant decreases in watershed health and overall water quality.
