GWR Global Water Resources Corp. and Global Water Resources, Inc. announced it received the Recommended Opinion and Order (ROO) from the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) in the rate case involving seven Global Water regulated utility subsidiaries. The issuance of the ROO by the ALJ is the last major milestone before the rate case is presented to the ACC Commissioners, who must approve the settlement before it will take effect.

The ROO from the ALJ follows a proposed settlement agreement between Global Water and ACC Staff, the Residential Utility Consumers Office (RUCO), the City of Maricopa, and others originally announced on August 13, 2013.
