Town of Queen Creek offering water to Johnson Utilities for San Tan Valley service area
The Town of Queen Creek has been working with the Arizona Corporation Commission and the interim manager for Johnson Utilities, EPCOR, to offer assistance for a potential water shortage this summer in the Johnson Utilities service area in San Tan Valley.
Over the past several months, the town has worked with EPCOR on an interconnect solution after EPCOR identified deficiencies within the system, according to a release.
“On Jan. 23, EPCOR stated the Johnson water supply system located a capacity deficit in densely populated portions of the service area near Queen Creek. EPCOR identified solutions that will bring in additional water-supply capacity, including active conversations with the Town of Queen Creek to possibly construct an interconnection between the Johnson and Queen Creek water systems. The interconnection offers an immediate, inexpensive solution to a regional issue, providing improved water quality, capacity and pressure,” the release states.
