Board hears conveyance contract update with Cartwright Ranch; sharing agreement not yet executed
Summary
President John Ahrens said HSTA signed a conveyance contract with Cartwright Ranch LLC but the sharing agreement that would define service, conveyance, and delinquent-account collection remains unsigned; the board is exploring collection options including capping service lines.
John Ahrens, President of the Hidden Springs Sewer Company, gave a legal update at the March 11 meeting saying that HSTA has signed the conveyance contract with Cartwright Ranch LLC, but the full sharing agreement between the parties has not been fully executed as of the meeting date. Ahrens outlined three main parts of the intended agreement: (1) the sharing agreement describing how HSSC will serve Cartwright Ranch, (2) HSSC taking conveyance of the CCR sewer system infrastructure, and (3) authority for HSSC to collect delinquent accounts from CRTA.
Ahrens told the board the utility is exploring options to recover past-due accounts and noted the “extreme option” of capping sewer lines as a last-resort collection method. The meeting record does not show the sharing agreement signed or any formal vote authorizing a specific enforcement action. The item remains under legal review and the board did not take final action at this session. The board expects to return to the issue once the sharing agreement is executed or when staff provide recommended collection procedures.
