Attorney General's Statement On Proposed Water Rate Decrease

April 30, 2009

"This rate relief is modest but meaningful -- because it sends a message that utilities can be more responsible and responsive to consumer needs. This move by one utility should be a model for others, setting a standard for good corporate citizenship when families are struggling to make ends meet.

"The Connecticut Water Company is turning down the money spigot -- seeking to lower rates, delay its next rate case and conserve consumer money. This proposal will lower annual consumer bills approximately 1.8 percent when consumers need it most."

The Office of the Attorney General William Tong
