Water Rates and Charges

PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:

Proposed Action:

The Public Service Commission is considering a petition by the City of New Rochelle, requesting approval to have costs for infrastructure maintenance and access to be included in the rates charged to all customer classes within the City of New Rochelle.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1)(f), 89-c(1) and (10)

Subject:

Water rates and charges.

Purpose:

To have costs for infrastructure maintenance and access to be included in the rates charged to all customer classes.

Substance of proposed rule:

The Commission is considering whether to approve, modify or reject, in whole or in part, a petition by the City of New Rochelle, requesting approval per the Laws of New York, Chapter 433, requiring the Commission to issue an order to United Water New Rochelle to have costs for infrastructure maintenance and access to be included in the rates charged to all customer classes and apportioned among all customers located within the City of New Rochelle.
