Answers to Your Questions: Johnson Utilities Settlement and Next Steps for San Tan Valley Residents

We understand that many of you have questions about the recent Johnson Utilities class-action lawsuit settlement and the disbursement of funds to former customers. In this article, we aim to address your concerns and provide information on the next steps for those who have not yet received their settlement share.

As a brief recap, a class-action lawsuit filed against Johnson Utilities reached a proposed settlement in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona on November 19, 2021. The court granted final approval of a settlement fund of over $10 million to be distributed to former Johnson Utilities customers – including those who are now customers in EPCOR's San Tan water and wastewater districts. The settlement applies to former Johnson Utilities customers who paid for water and/or wastewater services between October 1, 2011, and the date the court gives its expected, preliminary approval of the settlement.

If you have not yet received your settlement share as a one-time credit on your April 2023 EPCOR bill, do not worry. First, verify your eligibility for the settlement by checking if you were a Johnson Utilities customer during the specified time frame.

What if I am no longer an EPCOR customer?

How will my settlement share be calculated?

The disbursements will be calculated using a court-approved formula. EPCOR does not have any involvement in this process and cannot provide an exact amount each customer will receive.
