2020 Rate Proceeding Withdrawal
In light of the current public health emergency, the Philadelphia Water, Sewer and Storm Water Rate Board has granted the Philadelphia Water Department’s request to withdraw its pending request for rate relief for the water, wastewater and stormwater services it provides.
Citing the on-going pandemic and the “. . . uncertainty over the anticipated duration of continuing emergency measures,” PWD requested permission to withdraw its filing and “terminate all activities related to the general rate proceeding” without prejudice to any participant in this or other proceedings before the Rate Board.
After Rate Board deliberation and the Proceeding’s Hearing Examiner inviting participants to respond to this request, there being no objections, the request was granted.
