ACC calls for interim solutions to Johnson Utilities sewer issues
by Rose Law Group Reporter Staff
The Arizona Corporation Commission heard from numerous stakeholders in the San Tan Valley area about how urgently an interim solution is needed to solve the multiple issues plaguing the Johnson Utilities problems at their Pecan and Section 11 wastewater treatment plants.
ACC Utilities Division Director, Elijah Abinah, told the Commissioners that he would be presenting them with a “global interim solution” at their next open meeting in mid-October. Abinah, indicated his global solutions would be temporary measures for immediately dealing with the Pecan and Section 11 plants. The solutions likely include interconnections with the Town of Queen Creek’s sewer system and possibly the addition of a the biolac technology to remedy environmental issues at Section 11.
The Commission heard from several stakeholders, all of whom asked for immediate solutions to be put in place and urged the Commission not to wait the 3 to 5 or more years needed for more permanent solutions.
