On November 6, 2024, the Maine Public Utilities Commission (the “Commission”) issued an order in Docket No. 2023-00209 (the “Order”) finding that our, the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority’s (“MRRA”), water distribution service (“Brunswick Landing Water Utility” or “BLWU”) are a “public utility” subject to the Commission’s regulation and oversight. The Order directs us to file, no later than March 6, 2025, a schedule of all rates, tolls, and charges for any service we perform as a water utility, including all terms and conditions that in any manner affect the rates, tolls, and charges, or the service provided as water utility.
While this filing is the first of its kind for MRRA, we recognize that water customers at Brunswick Landing have been paying monthly water consumption fees since 2011. Under State statutes and Commission regulations, however, the rates we submit to the Commission must reflect actual consumption and cost of services. Accordingly, we have to revise our rates.
