Today, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved a request by
the Indianapolis Water Company to extend its water mains to allow the
connection of customers in Ravenswood and Rocky Ripple.
The extension was prompted by a request from the Marion County Health
Department, and will provide service to approximately 640 homes in the two
neighborhoods.
In Cause No. 42084, the Commissioners agree that it is in the best
interest of the public to extend the service and allow the company to recover
the cost of the extension. However, the
company will not be allowed to increase rates more than 1-percent, and the rate
adjustment will not take effect until the project is complete. The company is required to provide the
Commission with updated figures and the requested rate adjustment 60-days
before the completion of the project.
Below is a table, which shows the impact a 1-percent increase would have
on residential customers.
