Aqua OKs water service for Pacifico development

Aqua Water Supply Corp.’s board approved large-volume water service to Pacifico Energy Development LLC on Sept. 1, moving the proposed Cedar Creek development toward a formal water service agreement.

The service would support Pacifico’s proposed 2,842-acre data center and power development in Cedar Creek.

What’s happening

In an email to Community Impact, Aqua WSC Communications Director Hollye Fain said the approved resolution indicates Pacifico must pay Aqua WSC a $3,500 legal deposit by Nov. 30 to proceed with development of a Non-Standard Service Agreement.

The NSSA would formalize the terms and responsibilities for providing water service to the development.

What’s next

Pacifico has until Feb. 28 to enter into the agreement with Aqua WSC. Fain said missing that deadline could result in Pacifico losing the approved resolution and feasibility study.

Fain said it will be up to the board whether the negotiated agreement returns to a future meeting for further review and approval, but that she was not aware of the board requesting that step.
