The Cave Creek Town Council unanimously approved expanding the scope of the possible sale of the Desert Hills Water System to also include the Cave Creek Water and Cave Creek Wastewater systems during a special meeting on Tuesday, March 25.
“A lot of really good comments on both sides tonight,” Mayor Robert Morris said in making the motion to approve the changes. “The companies think this is a snowball running downhill but it’s not. Municipalities do not sell water systems. It’s usually the other way around. They usually buy them.
“So anyone that has the idea that this is a done deal and just because we’re out here doing these things, I personally am skeptical,” Morris added. “I know we (Cave Creek) can run a water system, I know we can do it well. We’ve been working on that for a long time, but we’ve got a ways to go.”
