The Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission today approved a new rate schedule for Sani Tech, Inc.
However the approved rate was much
less than the company requested.
In
Cause No. 41644, the company is allowed to adjust and increase its rates for
sewer utility service by approximately 25% to $52 per month. The current monthly rate for residential
customers is $40.
The rate is intended to allow the
company to recover its cash expenses of operation.
Sani Tech Inc., which provides
sewer utility service in rural areas of Morgan County, originally requested the
authority to raise its rates to $115 per month and after negotiations with
interveners revised the request to $87.
A public field hearing was
conducted on August 17, 2000 near Mooresville, Indiana, in the vicinity
Of Sani Tech Inc.’s service area
at the request of the Office of Utility Consumer Counselor and the Rolling
Vista Estates Homeowner’s Association.
The new rates will be effective
upon filing and approval by the Engineering Division and shall apply to sewer
usage from and after the date of approval.
