City County Water Rate Case Up Today
The Public Service Commission holds a Baltimore hearing on the City of Hagerstown water rate case. A Washington County Circuit Court decision requires dike costs at Williamsport pumping station to be included in capital structure, potentially raising county rates about one cent to 44 cents per thousand gallons. The PSC has urged the city to credit or refund the difference between the 46 cent county rate and the 60 cent rate, with potential appeal to the Maryland Court of Appeals. City Attorney Edward Oswald says the case is without precedent and likely headed to higher court.
