Bridgeport Hydraulic water rate increase approved

The Public Utilities Commission approved most of Bridgeport Hydraulic Co’s proposed increases in water rates, boosting city revenues by about $460000 while limiting the city’s payment to $190000. The ruling fixes meter charges, proportional rates, and fixed service charges across Bridgeport, Fairfield, and Stratford, with Stratford treated similarly though not joining the agreement. The commission notes the company’s property value for rate purposes exceeds $14 million and adjusts amortization rules to reflect ongoing repairs and depreciation.
