How has Liberty Water been affected by the Phoenix- Goodyear Superfund site? Are there any expenses in this rate case to offset those costs?
Yes. Since being notified in 2006 the contaminated groundwater plume was growing, Liberty Water staff has worked closely with the EPA to ensure the groundwater contamination does not endanger your drinking water supply. We also began monthly sampling and testing of the groundwater wells closest to the contamination. There has been no contamination found in Liberty Water water wells. While this rate case does include reimbursement for the additional testing costs, but only accounts for less than one-half of one percent of the increase.
