INDIANAPOLIS — More than one million Hoosiers could see higher water bills this summer if a rate hike by Indiana American Water is approved by state regulators.
Indiana American wants to raise rates by nearly 8-percent by mid-2020. The increase is based on the utility’s investment of more than $540 million in its water systems across the state.
Rates would go up 1.73-percent this summer and 6.07-percent in 2020. Residential customers using 4,000 gallons of water per month would see their bills increase by about $2.40.
Communities served by Indiana American include Crawfordsville, Franklin, Greenwood, Mooresville, Noblesville, Shelbyville, and Terre Haute.
The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission will meet April 11 to discuss the proposal.
