Prestwick Utilities to appeal ICC rate hike ruling
Prestwick Utilities plans to appeal an ICC order granting a 23.4 percent hike in water rates and 26.98 percent sewer increase for Frankfort Square and Prestwick residents. Homeowners associations vow to oppose the appeal, fearing undercounted investments and loan terms in the original decision. The dispute signals a lengthy court process and ongoing efforts by FSHA and Prestwick HOA to block future rate rises.
