Judge makes recommendation on proposed Arizona Water rate increase
by Gabrielle Olivera | Pinal Central
An administrative law judge has recommended that the Arizona Corporation Commission grant an increase in the minimum rate for Arizona Water Company customers of about $5 a month, at least in part because average usage has declined.
In 2019 AWC filed with the commission an intent for a rate case application for its three Western Group water service areas, including Casa Grande, Coolidge, Stanfield, White Tank and Ajo.
Based on the recommended opinion and order on Feb. 3, the monthly minimum residential charge for the company’s Pinal Valley area, including Casa Grande, Coolidge and Stanfield, would be $26 for a 5/8-inch-by-3/4-inch meter. The entire charges can be found on the document.
