The City of Fort Wayne is seeking a water rate increase and financing authority in IURC Cause No. 46311.
The OUCC is reviewing the request and is scheduled to file testimony on Jan. 30, 2026.
Written public comments are invited. In addition, an IURC public field hearing will be held on Dec. 17, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. in the Omni Room at Citizens Square (200 E. Berry St. in Fort Wayne). The OUCC's Dec. 9, 2025 news release has more information.
All publicly filed documents in the case are available on the IURC website, including the petition and following testimony the City filed on Oct. 17, 2025:
A typical rate case follows a 300-day schedule. A Commission order is expected in 2026.
Municipal sewer rates are not at issue in this case. Rates for Indiana municipal sewer utilities are regulated by locally elected city and town councils.
The IURC approved Fort Wayne's current water rates in 2019. The rates were phased in over a five-year period.
This page will be updated based on case developments.
