Average customer's monthly bill would go up 15.36%. PA Amer Water would receive a rate increase of $59. 2 million. Maybe the rusty water coming out of my bathtub spiggot will be cleaned up, but somehow I doubt it.

Again, with inflation at 3-4%, nobody can restrain from large percentage increases. Formal complaints to:

Pennsylvania Public Utility
PO BOX 3265
Harrisburg, PA 17105-3265

Thankfully, the sham Act 1, a 100% increase in income tax, did not pass.

Thank goodness for that! It was truly a bad deal, especially in our area.

I can only hope the new legislation to ELIMINATE property taxes as a source for school funding gets some traction. Now with that money, I could afford the 15% increase in my water bill!
