Pure
Cycle Corporation Announces
Water
Service Acquisition
for
$1,600,000
Denver,
Colorado – December 19, 2016 – Pure Cycle
Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) (“Pure Cycle”
or the “Company”) announced today that the Rangeview
Metropolitan District (“Rangeview”) has entered into an
agreement that upon closing will result in Pure Cycle, in its
capacity as the exclusive service provider for Rangeview, acquiring
the right to provide water service to Wild Pointe Ranch
(“Wild Pointe”) located in unincorporated Elbert County
Colorado.
Wild
Pointe is located approximately 14 miles south of the
Company’s Lowry Range service. The development includes
approximately 120 existing residential and commercial service
connections which at buildout may grow to more than 250
connections. The Company will operate and maintain the water system
and will collect future water tap fees for new customers added to
the system along with monthly water service revenues. Annual water
service revenues at Wild Pointe currently total approximately
$140,000 and are anticipated to grow to about $350,000 at buildout.
The completion of the development may add an additional $2.5
million in residential and commercial water tap fees.
The
closing is subject to various closing conditions, including
Rangeview’s satisfaction with the title to the water rights
used to serve Wild Pointe. The title report on the water rights is
to be provided within the next 60 days.
“Wild
Pointe is strategically located in unincorporated Elbert County
which borders the southern boundary of the Lowry Range. The area
has numerous small independent water systems, and we believe we can
provide significant efficiency and value by operating these systems
in a more unified, regional manner in conjunction with our other
systems including, in some cases, bringing new water supplies to
the region,” commented Mark Harding, President of Pure Cycle.
“This acquisition is part of our continuing strategy to
expand and grow our wholesale utility segment both organically at
our Sky Ranch development and through strategic
acquisitions,” continued Mr. Harding.
