The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) is holding public input hearings in person and by phone regarding rate increase proposals from two water and wastewater service providers.
Community Utilities of Pennsylvania
Community Utilities of Pennsylvania (CUPA) serves both water and wastewater customers in Monroe and Pike counties. It provides water services in Northampton County and wastewater services in Chester County.
Water and wastewater bills would more than double under CUPA’s proposal, according to the PUC.
Typical monthly residential water bill increases would be $44.18 to $74.68 (69%) on 2,270 gallons for customers in the Tamiment service territory and $63.90 to $101.37 (59%) on 3,452 gallons for other customers.
For typical wastewater bills, increases would be $57.25 to $91.48 (60%) on 2,225 gallons for Tamiment customers and $74.73 to $112.51 (51%) on 3,400 gallons for other customers.
