The City of Lafayette is seeking a water rate increase in IURC Cause No. 46310.
The OUCC is reviewing the request and is scheduled to file testimony on Jan. 22, 2026.
The OUCC issued a news release on November 20, 2025 inviting written public comments. In addition, an IURC public field hearing will be held on December 11, 2025 at the Lafayette City Hall In the Common Council Chambers (20 N. 6th St. Lafayette, IN 47901).
All publicly filed documents in the case are available on the IURC website, including the petition and following testimony the City filed on Oct. 15, 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 Lafayette's current water rates in March 2018.
