If you are considering purchasing property within CCME, please contact us prior to your purchase to verify the property is current and the property water rights are in place.
If you have already purchased property within CCME, please contact us with your contact information including legal names on deed, current mailing address, current telephone number and email address.
Any outstanding balance will be the responsibility of the current owner and is not expunged by the sale or issuance of a Treasurer’s deed.
Depending on the type of property being purchased, residence or vacant land, there is a member transfer fee for both. The specific fee may be viewed under our schedule of fees. This fee may be paid by the buyer, seller or shared.
We highly recommend that all sales be conducted through the use of a Title Company. This will assure you of a property free and clear of any liens or balances due.
Once the purchase is complete, a copy of the recorded deed and customer contact information is necessary.
We encourage you become familiar with the membership opportunities and obligations presented in other parts of this website. MMWC is a little different from most "water utilities" you may be familiar with.
If you are selling your property within CCME, please contact us prior to your closing to make sure the title company has requested a final statement.
We highly recommend that all sales be conducted through the use of a Title Company. This assures the seller of protection from future claims against the property.
If you are not using a title company, please contact us with the name of the buyer and a contact telephone number for them also.
Since there is a member transfer fee for both residence and vacant properties, if you are not using a title company, the member transfer fee will need to be paid by either the seller, buyer or shared. In either case the transfer fee must be paid in order to continue water service.
A copy of the recorded deed will need to be provided to us once the sale is complete to properly transfer the water rights associated to the property.
The property owner is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the water company and with the property owner's association; however, the builder will usually be involved to meet those requirements. Being familiar with these requirements can be of great assistance to the property owner and will help prevent conflicts and delays during construction.
