Pennsylvania American gives customers more credits on water bills

Pennsylvania American Water recently issued a $6.13 bill credit to all active water customer accounts, the company announced recently.

The credit distributes recent settlement proceeds the company received from PFAS manufacturers to customers.

Pennsylvania American issued the credits on July 27 to all active water customer accounts as of July 24.

The credit is made possible through Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approval of Pennsylvania American Water’s PFAS Litigation Universal Credit Rider, which allows the company to provide PFAS settlement proceeds directly to customers as they are received.

Including this latest credit, customers have received a total of $36.89 per account from PFAS-related settlements to date.

The company remains in compliance with all PFAS drinking water standards and has completed PFAS treatment upgrades in several communities and plans to spend approximately $321 million to expand PFAS treatment across multiple water systems throughout Pennsylvania, the company said.
