PUC Grants Hike To Kennebunk Water District
The Maine PUC approved a rate increase for the Kennebunk-Kennebunkport-Wells Water District effective Feb 28 raising annual operating revenues 23.6 percent to $837,383. About 700 customers will see a roughly 20 percent rise in residential water bills and 40 to 46 percent more for hydrant rentals, with the District planning no expansion. The decision rejected complaints from seasonal users and attributed high costs to the district’s large service area and seasonal demand.
