I want to tell the community that Evansville Is Tapped Out is fighting to stop another increase in our high water bills that the Mayor and other city leaders want to put on us. We have a petition on Facebook, and we will continue to speak out. We are taking the protest to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission, and the final decision on this won t be made until next year. The city needs to do a better job with the money they already get from us.

The Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and six other groups want Indiana to deny CenterPoint Energy’s request to give people with solar panels fewer credits for energy they deliver to the grid.
Right now, electric utilities subtract how much energy someone with solar panels uses from how much they produce for the grid over a whole month. Solar customers then get credits for any excess energy they deliver.
Jason Stephenson vice president of CenterPoint s regulatory legal group said this would give new solar customers an unfairly high amount, basically forcing other customers without solar to subsidize their bills.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Utilities went four months without cutting off service to a single customer during the coronavirus pandemic.
When a government-mandated moratorium ended, service disconnections skyrocketed and, in some cases, more than doubled compared to same time a year earlier.
When utility companies started to cut off service, many of had already came to the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission asking for rate increases.
According to numbers obtained by News 8 from the state government, AES Indiana, the former Indianapolis Power & Light Co., cut off service to 2,000 customers as the moratorium ended. Duke Energy, which serves much of central Indiana surrounding Indianapolis, waited a few weeks but then cut off 3,700 customers.
EVANSVILLE, Ind. A proposed hike to city water and sewer bills has passed its first procedural hurdle.
The Evansville Water and Sewer Utility board voted unanimously Tuesday afternoon to file a rate increase petition with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.
Local water customers won t see higher bills for a while, even if the increase eventually receives the green light. The vote simply means the proposal will go before the IURC in a months-long deliberative process, which will also include more public input. EWSU Executive Director Lane Young previously said he expects a decision to be handed down in February or March of next year.
