Uniform Rates Not Discriminatory
The city of Pittsburgh appealed the decision of the Public Utilities Commission which consolidated the Western Pennsylvania Water Company into two districts and called for uniform rates throughout the company's service territory. Pittsburgh argued that uniform rates discriminated against customers living in the city where the cost of providing water was cheaper due to population density. The court disagreed stating that more than just the cost of providing service must be taken into account when determining rate structures, including the past history of the utility, the practicality of administering rate schedules, and the value of service. The difference between water costs to city customers compared to non‐city customers was only $1.84 per year.
