Light Plant Superintendent, Houssin Hourieh, reviewed the utility board’s lawsuit again SECPA which had a ruling on April 16, 2021. The three main take-aways from the judge’s decision were:
Southeast Colorado Power Association (SECPA) shall cease and desist from providing service to well #7 which is owned and operated by May Valley Water Association.
LUB is authorized to offer May Valley the option to reconnect with well #7 to LUB’s service or self-service.
The PUC cannot order SECPA to pay compensation to LUB for serving well #7 illegally since March 4, 2020 because the PUC does not have jurisdiction to award compensation in this case.
