The
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission will hold a public hearing in
Columbia on Tuesday, Sept. 3, on the Columbia Water Company's
proposal to raise water rates by 21 percent.
The PUC hearing to receive public comment on the proposed rate increase will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Columbia Fire Department Station 801, 137 S. Front St.

Columbia Water Co. provides water service to approximately 8,700 customers within Columbia and Mountville boroughs and West Hempfield, Manor and Donegal townships.
Members of the public are welcome to attend the hearings and provide comments.
Customer testimony will become part of the record on which the PUC will issue its final decision.
