On May 21, 2008, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) issued an interim order in its investigation of River's Edge Utility, Inc., a privately owned water and wastewater utility in Clark County.

At this time, a petition seeking the transfer of the utility’s assets from River’s Edge Utility, Inc. to Wastewater One, LLC is pending before the IURC. Wastewater One is also requesting an increase in the utility’s rates and charges.

In addition, a group of residential customers has formed a new corporation named R. E. Community Utilities, Inc. and has formally intervened in this case through legal counsel, seeking to acquire the utility's assets and operate it as a not-for-profit entity.

On December 2, 2009, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor (OUCC) and Wastewater One, LLC filed a settlement agreement on less than all issues in this case. The OUCC is taking a neutral position on which entity should acquire and operate the utility's assets. However, the agreement addresses the proposed rate increase in this case, in the event the IURC authorizes Wastewater One to acquire and operate the utility.

The settlement agreement and the OUCC's supporting testimony are available online in PDF format.

For all other filed documents in this case, please click here and enter docket number 43115.

An IURC public field hearing in this case was held on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 in Charlestown. For more details, please see the OUCC’s August 24 news release or the OUCC consumer fact sheet distributed at the hearing.

An additional OUCC news release inviting consumer comments was issued July 28, 2009.
