Relates to the establishment and the reporting of residential water cost indexes
Senate Bill S 2253 requires the Public Service Commission to develop a standardized formula for a "residential water cost index," which measures the annual water cost for an average single-family household. Water-works corporations and municipal water systems serving at least 1,000 customers must annually calculate and submit their residential water cost index to the commission. The commission will then publish an annual report analyzing and comparing these water costs across the state, making this information publicly available.
