Liberty Utilities’ Statement in response to the Final Decision: CIVDS1600180 (October 9, 2021)
On behalf of our team of dedicated professionals who take great pride in providing safe water and reliable service in Apple Valley, we appreciate the Judge’s tentative statement of decision that rejects the Town’s attempt to take the water system by eminent domain. The ruling confirms that Liberty has operated transparently and in the best interest of the community, and that the Town’s lawsuit will be dismissed.
Liberty is proud of our record providing safe and reliable water service in Apple Valley, and we look forward to being a trusted water provider today and for future generations. We are focused on a path forward and remain committed to strengthening relationships and trust with customers and community leaders.
Greg Sorensen, Liberty’s West Region President
