Columbia Water Company seeks rate hike

The Columbia Water Company is asking the state to approve a $773,210 rate increase for its Columbia Division.
The proposal filed Thursday with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission would raise rates for various categories of customers between 21.06 and 21.11 percent.
The additional revenue would be used to cover growing operating expenses and service costs, including recovery of about $4.3 million in capital improvements to the Columbia Division water system.
The proposal would not affect customers in the company's Marietta Division, which is made up of Marietta Borough and East Donegal Township in Lancaster County and Hellam Township in York County.
The increase is proposed to take effect June 24.

    How much is Donald Nikolaus making for a salary that were paying for
    After that fiasco with the no drinking of the water somebody should be held accountable for not securing the premises before that. The only ones who will pay for the costs associated with that mess is the rate payers.

    You are right on the money about Don Nikolaus and his other "investors". WE pay the bill while they keep padding their pockets. Do an online search and check out Nikolaus' pay from Donegal Insurance - you'll be shocked to see he makes more $$$ than the next 3 management people under him.

    yeah ain't that a crock?? i agree. It really is in extreme poor taste to STEAL LAND first of all and then to RAISE WATER RATES FOR COLUMBIANS. this could happen only in Columbia.
