We're Still Here. The Story of Mesa's Canal Builders

It's Always Cool In Mesa

In the full version of our "Always Cool" theme song, there's a line that goes, "If you say Venice makes you wistful, Well, we've got canals by the fistful!" And it's true - miles and miles of canals that deliver water to every reach of the city. They also provide a place to walk, bike, and enjoy our Arizona sunsets. The story of how the canals came to be is an epic and sacred one.
