Town Center Street Closures –May 18th & May 19th
Please take note that the second phase of the Town Center street pavement maintenance process will take place next week.
A micro surface treatment will be placed on the east side of Easy Street between the new hotel and the View town homes.
Additionally, Carefree Drive within the Town Center from Tom Darlington Drive to the traffic circle south of the post office will also be treated. As a result of this pavement maintenance project, these sections of streets will be closed on May 18th and May 19th.
On street parking in these areas will be restricted until May 22nd.
Please note also that the post office and Town Center businesses can be accessed during these street restrictions by using all other side streets leading into the Town Center.
Thank you, in advance, for your patience with this process.

Today, the Carefree Water Company welcomes 14 new customers within the Tranquil Place subdivision. This is the first area to transition over from the Cave Creek water system as part of the Carefree Water Consolidation Project (WCP). This marks a milestone for the project which will bring all water customers within Carefree under one water umbrella – the Carefree Water Company.
The Water Company and all Town of Carefree officials who have worked tirelessly on this project thank the entire community for their support and patience as we work through the construction and transition portion of the project.
By the end of 2022, we are expecting to have all 535 Carefree residents who are currently served water by Cave Creek to be transitioned over.
Please join us in welcoming Tranquil Place into our customer base. We appreciate the opportunity to serve all of the Carefree community!

What is an invasive plant?
An invasive plant is generally not native to the Sonoran Desert. These plants compete with native plants and could take over an area. These nonnative plants are a major source which fuel wildland fires during warming and dry springs.
It is critical to ensure that there is a 30 foot defensible space around your home. In this defensible space trees and vegetation should be pruned up and all nonnative invasive species removed. It is also important to ensure tree limbs do not over hang or touch any structures.
