City fights water rate hike. urges 1917 valuation as base
Indianapolis argues in public service commission hearings that rate base should start at the 1917 valuation of 8.5 million dollars, with updates for improvements since then. Corporation Counsel Taylor J. Groninger argues present rates cover expenses and provide a reasonable return, while noting past commissions used the 1917 base in multiple orders. The case continues with experts detailing computed valuations and adjustments to justify current rates.
