Water Companies and Sewage Disposal Companies - Eminent Domain Proceedings and Service Rates

Summary

The bill prevents Maryland’s Public Service Commission from approving any rate hike for a water company or sewage disposal company if a county or municipality has started, or signaled intent to start, a condemnation proceeding against that utility. It also requires the fact‑finder in such proceedings to consider needed system upgrades and the possible bill savings to customers if the utility is taken over.
