Pennsylvania American Water Files Rate Request Driven by More Than $1.2 Billion in Ongoing Investment to Provide Safe, Clean, Reliable Service
Request supports continued infrastructure investments, a new summer wastewater billing adjustment and a renter assistance pilot to expand existing affordability program
*
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. (Nov. 14, 2025) - Pennsylvania American Water today filed a request with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) for new rates to support$1.2 billion in ongoing water and wastewater service system investments. The request reinforces the company's commitment to implementing critical system upgrades and continuing to improve water quality and reliability for its more than 2.4 million people served statewide.
"These investments directly benefit the communities we proudly serve and provide our customers with even more reliable service and improved water quality--from treatment to the tap. It all underscores every employee's commitment to the health and safety of our customers and the communities we serve," said Pennsylvania American Water President Justin Ladner.
The proposed rate change will support the company's plans to invest $1.2 billion through mid-2027 to modernize and strengthen its water and wastewater systems in communities across Pennsylvania. This investment will replace 117 miles of aging water main, continue eliminating lead service lines, and address emerging contaminants such as PFAS in drinking water. The proposed rate change would also support critical wastewater system upgrades, including the replacement of 32 miles of aging sewer main.
Under the company's proposal, if approved, the typical residential water customer would see an increase of approximately $14 per month. Customers served by sanitary wastewater systems would see an increase of approximately $10 per month. Customers with combined stormwater and wastewater systems would see an increase of approximately $20 per month.
Proposed Rate Adjustment to Reduce Summer Wastewater Charges
As part of the request, Pennsylvania American Water is proposing a Deduct Adjustment, which calculates summertime wastewater charges based on a customer's average winter water usage when outdoor use is typically low.
The Deduct Adjustment proposal provides a more accurate representation of the water entering the wastewater system, as it excludes seasonal outdoor uses such as lawn watering and car washing.
"This proposed adjustment allows customers to manage summer wastewater charges by accounting for outdoor water use," continued Ladner. "It's a change that can lead to real savings for many customers."
Proposed Utility Assistance Pilot for Low-Income Renters
Additionally, Pennsylvania American Water is seeking permission from the PUC to implement a Renter Assistance Pilot Program (RAPP) to support low-income renters in master-metered buildings who are currently excluded from traditional utility aid. The pilot program would provide quarterly stipends for participating customers in Scranton and Butler, reflecting the company's existing discount levels.
Pennsylvania American Water remains committed to affordability and offers programs to assist income-eligible customers, including its H2O Help to Others assistance program, budget billing options and flexible payment plans. More details can be found at pennsylaniaamwater.com/H2O.

For details on infrastructure investments in your community--including upgrades to treatment plants, water mains, and service lines--explore its Infrastructure Investment page.
The PUC review process offers multiple opportunities for customer involvement. Customers can participate through written comments, attendance at public input hearings, and consumer advocacy organizations that participate in the proceedings. All rate changes require PUC approval. If approved, the company's new rates would take effect in August 2026.

HOUSTON, TX -- HVS Brokerage & Advisory announces the sale of the 122-key Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Houston Sugar Land, located at 218 Promenade Way Sugar Land, Texas, 77478.
The hotel asset, built in 2021, was purchased by Royal Hotel Group, LLC, based in Spring, Texas, from Avalon Sugar Land Hospitality LLC, based in Sugar Land, Texas.
Aniel Verma,Principal of Avalon Sugar Land Hospitality LLC, commented, "Our priority was to secure a buyer who could close seamlessly. The HVS team swiftly launched an effective listing that generated more than 20 property tours and 11 offers from buyers nationwide. HVS's listing dashboard is an excellent tool that kept me informed throughout the process and greatly supported my decision-making."
The property benefits from its strategic location just off State Highway 6, between Interstate 69 and U.S. Highway 90 Alternate. This location provides an attractive environment for visitors given its numerous retail and dining options, as well as sports and leisure-related facilities. Excellent highway access to The Galleria/Uptown area and Downtown Houston provides an opportunity for this submarket to expand its capture of Greater Houston lodging demand.

The situation was complex, with the owner in Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but we ran a disciplined marketing process that produced eleven offers. We then advanced the top bidders to a courtroom auction, where the property sold for 117% of the opening bid. The winning bidder posted a 10% non - refundable earnest money deposit on day one of the PSA, purchased the hotel in cash, and closed in under 45 days."
