DATE: JULY 16, 2015
SUBJECT: APPLICATION OF COUNTRY CLUB HILLS UTILITIES, INC. FOR
CANCELLATION OF ITS CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
AND NECESSITY, CASE NO. CCH-W-15-01
On March 16, 2015, the Commission received a request from Country Club Hills
Utilities, Inc. (“CCHU” or “Company”) to cancel its Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity (“CPCN”) No. 312.
CCHU originally applied for, and was ultimately granted, a CPCN from the
Commission in Case No. CCH-W-89-01. On February 23, 1990, CPCN No. 312 was issued by
the Commission to CCHU. See Order No. 22982. Commission records indicate that CCHU’s
owner, Mr. Michael Groth, attempted to sell the Company beginning in 2005. Since that time,
Commission Staff has been advised of continuing efforts to sell CCHU. Included in the
Application, the Commission received a copy of a “Water and Sewer System Agreement”
between CCHU and the Taylor Mountain Water and Sewer District (“TMWSD”). According to
the Agreement, CCHU agreed to sell all land and water production and distribution facilities to
TMWSD effective March 2, 2015.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to issue a Notice of CCHU’s Application for Cancellation
of its CPCN with a 21-day comment period?
