The Maricopa Domestic Water Improvement District
(the “District”) is a small municipal corporation in Arizona
that supplies water to some three hundred households,
including the public housing tenants of one residential
complex in Pinal County, Arizona. Property owners like
Pinal County are responsible to the District for paying any
past tenant’s delinquent water accounts. Pinal County
acknowledged its responsibility to pay its public housing
tenants’ delinquent water bills but consistently refused to do
so, contending it was immune to that policy based on Pinal
County’s status as a public municipality. After years of
failed tactics and fruitless negotiations with Pinal County,
the District imposed a new policy that increased to $180 the
refundable security deposit required of new public housing
customers before the District would agree to provide water
services. New non-public housing customers were subject
only to a $55 deposit.
