CHIMACUM — A Puget Sound Energy official threatened Jefferson County Public Utility District commissioners with legal action if county voters give the district the authority to provide energy and the agency acts to do so.
“It is true that Puget Sound Energy is not interested in selling our authority,” Terry Oxley, PSE director of community services, told PUD commissioners Wednesday.
“There would be litigation,” Oxley told them.
Legal action would be at a “huge cost” to both the Jefferson County utility and his company, he said.
That would not make the PUD’s efforts to provide power as well as water service worthwhile, he added.
