A proposed 21% water rate increase is simply too much for Connecticut families and businesses.
I’ve urged the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to carefully scrutinize Connecticut Water Company’s proposal and ensure that any rate increase is fair, justified, and in the best interest of consumers.
If approved, the proposal would increase the average residential water bill by approximately $15.54 per month, impacting customers throughout East Granby, Ellington, Enfield, Somers, Suffield, and Windsor Locks.
Your voice matters. I encourage everyone affected to stay informed and participate in the public input process. Together, we can advocate for affordable, reliable utility services for our communities.
I had the privilege of visiting the Enfield World War II Memorial Monument. It stands as a lasting tribute to the brave men and women who answered our nation’s call during one of history’s greatest challenges.
As we reflect on their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to freedom, may we never forget the tremendous debt of gratitude we owe to the Greatest Generation. Their legacy continues to inspire us.
My latest Legislative Update! Representative Tami Zawistowski and I recently visited Suffield, where we had a great conversation with residents about the issues that matter most to them.
