Summary
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved a rate adjustment for Pennsylvania American Water, authorizing an annual revenue increase of about $74.9 million for infrastructure work including lead service line replacement and PFAS treatment. The company said it is reviewing the decision and expects a final order, and PUC Chairman Stephen M. DeFrank cited its assistance to distressed water and wastewater systems as a public benefit in the Commission's management-performance review.
Key points
- Pennsylvania American Water filed its general rate case on November 14, 2025; the PUC ruled on July 16, 2026.
- The authorized increase is approximately $74.9 million annually, supporting aging infrastructure replacement, expanded PFAS treatment and lead service line elimination.
- DeFrank pointed to the company's work supplying drinking water in Dimock, its receivership of Rock Spring Water Company and East Dunkard Water Authority, and investments in troubled systems.
- The company said it will share how the order affects customer bills once received and evaluated, and looks forward to engaging with Governor Josh Shapiro's Special Counsel before future rate filings.
