IURC APPROVES RATE INCREASE FOR MORGAN COUNTY RURAL WATER CORPORATION

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved a settlement agreement with Morgan County Rural Water and the Office of the Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor that will result in a rate increase for customers of Morgan County Rural Water Corporation.

 

In Cause No. 42025, the Commissioners agreed that a rate increase of 19.65% was justified.  The increase means a customer who uses 4,500 gallons of water a month will see their bill increase from $23.21 to $27.77.

 

Morgan County has a western expansion area where customers pay a $14.30 per month surcharge. The surcharge will be reduced to $9.74 per month in that area.

 

Morgan County Rural Water serves nearly 2,200 customers in western Morgan County, Indiana.
