PUC approves compromise rate rise for Media Water Works
The Public Utility Commission approves a 19.6 percent rate hike for about 9,000 customers outside Media and 1,800 in Media. Residential metered bills rise from 75.36 to 90.04 annually, flat rates from 44.04 to 52.68, after a prior 29.4 percent proposal. The Media Borough Council accepted the compromise as reasonable to fund capital needs. The borough seeks to transfer the water works to a municipal authority, which would escape PUC jurisdiction, pending permission to abandon water service outside Media.
