Residents in the Clinton area of Hickman County will soon see a lower monthly water bill.  

The Kentucky Public Service Commission has issued a settlement granting Water Service Corp a 16.7% revenue increase, which is a third smaller than the 24.6% requested by the utility.  

For the roughly 900 Clinton customers, PSC authorized a rate restructuring so that the monthly residential water bill per 5,000 gallon usage decreases 22% from $40.71 to $31.81.  

The new rates take effect today.

The settlement also raises rates for Water Corp’s other service area of Middlesboro in Bell County, Ky and bars Water Service from requesting another rate increase until 2018.  

Water Service has about 6,300 customers in Middlesboro in Bell County and about 900 in the Clinton area of Hickman County. The vast majority are residential customers.
