The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) has filed a civil complaint worth over $100 million against Johnson Utilities, according to a press release issued by the ADEQ.
The 57-count civil lawsuit comes after the water company allegedly violated numerous water-quality laws for the approximately 35,000 customers they service in parts of Florence, Queen Creek, and the San Tan Valley.
“Johnson Utilities has continuously failed to follow through in the normal collaborative process that ADEQ prefers to remedy non-compliance issues,” said Misael Cabrera, ADEQ Director. “Johnson Utilities has left the Department with no other choice than to pursue legal action.”
