Water theft probe at Brightwood waterworks expands city control
Investigators led by Ex Sheriff Emmett look into patrons of Brightwood waterworks in the suburb amid claims that several users have obtained water without payment. The city annexed the plant via Fleetwood, and the probe aims to determine how many have avoided charges since incorporation, including a manufacturing firm taking large quantities at no charge. The inquiry, secret to date, may lead to back bills for water furnished under old rates.
