Simpler rate changes for small water and sewer utilities

The law lets more small water and sewer utilities use a simpler process to change rates or fees. You qualify if you serve 4,000 or fewer people and had $4 million or less in gross sales in the last 12 months. If you offer both water and sewer, each service’s sales are checked on its own. The utilities commission must allow qualifying providers to file a short letter of advice to change rates, with prices tied to a nationally recognized inflation index it approves. Fee changes by letter require commission authorization and must also follow the approved inflation index.
