Posted

Johnson Utilities LLC is to begin work on the Pecan Water Reclamation Facility phase 4 expansion and influent pump station and headworks replacement projects, the Arizona Corporation Commission has decided.

Pecan Water Reclamation Plant phase 4 is to cost approximately $18 million and will expand the capacity at the plant from 3.0 million gallons per day to 4.0 million gallons per day, according to a release.

Based on the commissioners' vote, the project will proceed without further delay and the company’s interim manager, EPCOR, has been directed to immediately commence construction. The project is expected to take approximately 12 months to complete, the release states.

The commission directed Johnson Utilities ownership to fund the capital improvement projects, using internally generated funds, an equity infusion, by issuing debt or some combination thereof as required in Decision No. 77330 and to file a financing application by July 13 for any amount not covered by an equity infusion or internally generated funds, the release states.


All documents related to this agenda item can be found in the Arizona Corporation Commission’s online docket at edocket.azcc.gov  and entering docket number WS-02987A-18-0050.

A list of agenda items and a broadcast of the commissioner’s June 22 special open meeting is on the commission’s website at azcc.gov/live.
