Maricopa residents call out city for 'scam' partnership
MARICOPA — After a letter from the city about a warranty program showed up at many Maricopa houses, residents are questioning its validity as well as the city’s intentions.
During the past few weeks, houses in Maricopa received a letter from the city informing residents of a new partnership with the company Service Line Warranties of America. The letter gives the option to enroll in Exterior Water Service Line Coverage, which can cover repair of damage to outside water or well service.
In Maricopa, Global Water Resources is responsible for the water line in the street up until the water meter on someone’s property. However, the line from the meter to the home — a few feet long — usually is not covered.
That is where the SLWA warranty comes into play.
“This is a completely voluntary program done across the country that helps educate folks about their responsibilities with the water and sewer lines that service their homes,” said Jennifer Brown, assistant to the city manager. “It gives our residents the option of choice on what they would like to do to protect themselves.”
