Sun Cities residents hoping to hear a decision about water rates and district consolidation will have to wait a little longer.
The Arizona Corporation Commission conducted public hearings Dec. 16-17 regarding the issues and a decision was expected to be made following testimony. That decision was delayed to a meeting scheduled Tuesday, Jan. 11.
The ACC’s administrative law judge recommended the increased rates and full consolidation of 11 of EPCOR Water Co.’s water districts statewide. But nearly all other interested parties wanted the commission to go with a scenario that would leave Sun City and Sun City West as standalone districts.
