County will intervene in sale of Johnson Utilities
by Mark Cowling | San Tan Valley Sentinel
Pinal County is filing to take part, or “intervene,” in the Arizona Corporation Commission’s deliberations on whether to approve the sale of Johnson Utilities to EPCOR USA.
Deputy County Attorney Kevin Costello told the Board of Supervisors Wednesday there’s a tight time frame for the county to get involved. The final hearing before the ACC is set for Nov. 18. To learn the purchase price, the county will need to approve a non-disclosure agreement, he said.
Johnson Utilities customer John Dantico strongly urged the board to intervene, as the county is the closest government entity for more than 100,000 people whose quality of life will be affected for decades to come, he said.
