Mapleturn Utilities Water Service Rates Approved

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved Mapleturn Utilities, Inc.'s revised water service rates on April 22, 2026, reflecting a 28.73% across-the-board rate increase resulting in an annual increase of $82,984 for a net revenue requirement of $375,940. Mapleturn Water accepted all recommendations from the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) following OUCC's review of the utility's small utility rate application, and no formal public hearing was required as the utility serves fewer than 8,000 customers and no hearing was requested by customers, municipalities, or the OUCC. The OUCC recommended debt authority of $400,000 for rehabilitation of the existing water storage tank and rental temporary water storage, rejecting the utility's proposal for a new water tower construction.

Mapleturn Utilities Wastewater Rate Increase Approved by Indiana IURC

The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission issued a final order on April 22, 2026 approving new wastewater service rates for Mapleturn Utilities, Inc., a not-for-profit public utility serving approximately 673 customers in Morgan County, Indiana. The utility had originally requested an across-the-board rate increase of 49.26% yielding an annual increase of $249,206, but accepted the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor’s (OUCC) recommended increase of 44.84% generating an annual increase of $223,055. Because no hearing was requested under Ind. Code § 8-1-2-61.5 for small utilities with fewer than 8,000 customers, the Commission issued its order without a formal public hearing. The OUCC further recommended $675,000 in debt authorization for financing capital improvements, including a SCADA system and pipe maintenance.
