Black Canyon City Water District compliance penalty
Summary
The water district is years behind on required financial reports and audits, and state law forced the county to fine it $100 a day — but only up to the roughly $1,900 it has left. Residents say a rogue board chair mismanaged over $500,000, racked up huge legal fees, and left the district nearly broke, and they're asking the county to investigate.
