The Public Utilities Commission announced a temporary three month suspension of Bath’s proposed water rate increase. The suspension, stretching to 90 days and possibly extended, gives the commission time to study the case before a decision. If approved, hydrant rentals could rise over 300 percent for the city and about 20 percent for other customers. Frederick Allen said rates could become retroactive if the commission finds a need.
