Pinal supervisors to consider hostile takeover of water district
Maricopa Consolidated DWID has been sparring with the City of Maricopa over the reliability of its infrastructure./inMaricopa
Two weeks before Maricopa City Council invited the elected board of a local water district to a face-to-face meeting, City leaders had already sent a letter to a Pinal County supervisor suggesting a takeover of that board.
That has not gone down well, and the Maricopa Consolidated Domestic Water Improvement District is rallying its troops to attend the Wednesday meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
With the exception of Chairman Dean Scott, the MCDWID board did not show up at the Nov. 17 meeting at City Hall. At that meeting, the mayor and councilmembers said they wanted to exchange information and get everyone on the same page as Scott tried to describe the distrust the board had for the City.
