New Castle Water Co Seeks 18 Percent Rate Hike
New Castle Water Co petitions the Public Utility Commission for an 18 percent rate increase effective September 1. President W H Putnam cites $619000 in plant investments, 21 percent wage growth, and higher operating costs. The plan raises minimum quarterly bills to 5.66 and adds about 14 cents daily for the average residential customer, while not affecting city fire protection. The company serves 16800 customers in New Castle and nearby townships.
