Trend: State take Over of Water Utility

Utah is making its move to take over a water utility that serves the polygamous sect led by Warren Jeffs. How is Utah taking over the utlity?

• The people managing the utility are accused of embezzling $1.7million to fund personal expenses and Jeff’s following.
• Utah is asking a court to dissolve the utility and appoint new managers 
• The utility denies that $1.7 million was improperly allocated

Refreshing recollection: Water utlities in California and Montana are being seized by eminent domain through local governments in hopes of lowering utility costs for residents.
