Johnson Utilities effluent would be passed through town with interconnection agreement
by Richard Dyer | Queen Creek Independent
The town of Queen Creek has agreed to connect its wastewater system with an East Valley utility that may get a new owner after years of struggle.
The Queen Creek Town Council voted unanimously Oct. 7 to approve a motion with three items: the material terms for a wastewater system interconnection agreement between the town and Johnson Utilities LLC through its interim manager, EPCOR Water Arizona Inc., for the Pecan Water Reclamation Facility; delegating authority to the town’s manager and attorney to negotiate, finalize and execute an agreement; and authorizing town staff to negotiate with EPCOR for a wastewater interconnection agreement in relation to the Section 11 Wastewater Treatment Plant.
No town funds would be used if 1 million gallons per day of wastewater that would have been processed by Johnson Utilities is diverted to flow through Queen Creek to Gilbert to be treated in a planned interconnection agreement.
