Pennsylvania American Water, the City of York, and the York City
Sewer Authority will join the Pennsylvania Public Utility
Commission (PUC) to hear public comment on Pennsylvania American
Water’s recent application to acquire the York City Sewer
Authority, which serves more than 13,000 direct customers, in
addition to providing bulk (wholesale) wastewater service to the
townships of Spring Garden, Manchester, West Manchester, York, and
Springettsbury, and the boroughs of North York and West York.
Pennsylvania American Water is the water provider for several
nearby areas, including Fairview Township and Mechanicsburg, and is
established in the community as a trusted local utility service
provider.
According to city officials, the wastewater system sale agreed
upon in April 2021 is important for the city to secure important
resources for the community and be relieved of the financial burden
of upgrading the aging wastewater system to meet more rigorous
regulations. Additional details about the proposed acquisition and
potential future rate impact were included in a notice mailed to
all Pennsylvania American Water customers and all current York City
Sewer Authority customers in September and October 2021.
The public input hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 5,
2022, at 6 p.m. using a telephone conference call platform. The
hearing will be presided over by PUC Administrative Law Judge
Steven K. Haas.
To participate in the hearing, dial 800-231-0316 and speak your
name when prompted.
