Resurfacing in Mesa

Mesa spells out who's on the hook for replaster wastewater: you, the owner. That makes the contractor's cleanup plan as important as the finish you pick, so ask about it in the first conversation.

Tap water
Depends on your zone. Mesa's 2025 report averages about 12 grains per gallon in the City Zone, which gets Salt and Verde water, and about 16 in the Eastern and Southern zones, which get Colorado River water.
Replaster water
Acid wash and replaster wastewater can't go into the storm drain or the sanitary sewer. The property owner is responsible for making sure the repair company handles it properly.
Draining your pool
No permit needed. Use the sewer cleanout at 12 gallons a minute with pH 6 to 8, or your yard and plants with pH 7 to 8. Never drain toward a sewer manhole in the street.

Worth knowing

What to know in Mesa

Get the cleanup plan in writing

Acid wash and replaster water can't go to the storm drain or the sewer, and the city puts the duty on the owner. Ask how the crew will collect and dispose of it, and get that in the quote.

Know your water zone

The Eastern and Southern zones run about 16 grains per gallon against about 12 in the City Zone. Harder water means faster scale, which is a reason to lean toward quartz or pebble.

Refill timing and your sewer fee

Filling or repairing a pool in December to March can raise Mesa's wastewater fee. The city has an adjustment form you can file with a letter from your pool company by July 1.

Rule out a leak first

Mesa says a 400 square foot pool loses about 19,664 gallons a year to evaporation, peaking near 2,690 in June. If you're losing more than that, run the city's bucket test before you resurface.
