Princeton Water Works seeks higher rates as city protests
The Princeton Water Works Company seeks an eight percent return plus operating costs, after obtaining a rate increase from the public service commission for its meter system. The commission delays final action pending a site visit and further evidence, while City Attorney Hartley Sanders and local business groups mobilize to oppose higher charges. In related county matters, the court heard road-building arguments to connect farmers to the Bluefield Princeton macadam route, with a July second Tuesday decision likely, and probate matters named administrators for two Bluefield estates.
