Settlement Unanimously Approved in Pennsylvania American Water Rate Request
February 25, 2021 GMT
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (BUSINESS WIRE) Feb 25, 2021
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today unanimously approved a settlement agreement that was previously filed between the company and the PUC Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement. This allows Pennsylvania American Water to raise its water and wastewater rates over a two-year period to reflect the continued investment made by the company to provide reliable, quality service. The company’s rate request was driven by $1.64 billion of investment from 2019 through 2022 to replace and upgrade aging infrastructure.
What s the smell in South Scranton?
Folks in the city s south side may have noticed the wastewater treatment plant stinks a bit more than usual. Author: Stacy Lange Updated: 5:59 PM EST February 23, 2021
SCRANTON, Pa. With a shift in the wind in South Scranton, you can get a good whiff of the wastewater treatment plant off Cedar Avenue.
Pennsylvania American Water took it over when the Scranton Sewer Authority dissolved in 2016.
Neighbors have gotten used to it, for the most part, but it s been especially bad lately. It s terrible, it s terrible, Ryan Terbovich said. It s not something that anyone would want to smell, especially being that this is the main entrance to the building, and the showrooms are here. It s particularly bad in the summer.
