What it does

This bill establishes procedures for system enhancement of infrastructure, including the development of ratemaking principles permitted for the recovery costs of certain investments in infrastructure by water and wastewater utilities. The bill states the intent of the general assembly that these mechanisms be available to support the development and sustainability of adequate and resilient water and wastewater treatment facilities, and provides that the commission is not bound by traditional ratemaking principles when evaluating system enhancement infrastructure.
