Epcor Water moves to take over as interim manager at Johnson Utilities
by Amy Pholphiboun | Queen Creek Independent
At a July 26 hearing, with a vote of 3-2, the Arizona Corporation Commission voted to approve an interim manager to temporarily take over operations of Johnson Utilities, which serves about 11,000 customers in Queen Creek and its surrounding areas.
Epcor, which is privately owned, won the contract bid over the towns of Queen Creek and Florence.
Queen Creek Town Attorney Scott Holcomb was disappointed in the decision, but said “we will cooperate with whomever the manager is in place and try and reach a regional solution for the Johnson Utility problems. Somebody has to take action,” he said.
