Citizens Water of Westfield is requesting a rate increase in Cause No. 46020.
The OUCC and utility have reached a settlement agreement that would limit the increase to $2.6 million (18.85%). The OUCC filed supporting testimony on Aug. 14, 2024. By comparison, Citizens originally requested an increase of $3 million (21.62%).
All documents filed in this case are available on the IURC's website. A final order is expected later this year.
The IURC held a public field hearing in Westfield on June 17, 2024. The OUCC issued a June 4, 2024 news release to invite consumer comments.
Westfield's sewer and natural gas rates - and rates for Citizens Energy Group's Marion County utilities - are not at issue in this case.
