Small water utility’s fees could have big repercussions on other regulated utilities
Utility regulators will discuss Thursday whether to continue their legal fight in support of automatic rate increases for water companies after being dealt a defeat in the Arizona Court of Appeals last week.
The Residential Utility Consumer Office sued the Arizona Corporation Commission last year over a decision to grant a rate hike to Arizona Water Co. affecting about 33,000 customers in Apache Junction, Superior, Miami, Bisbee, Sierra Vista and other rural areas.
