Tennessee American Water granted new rates by Tennessee PUC

The Tennessee Public Utility Commission approved new water rates for Tennessee American Water (AWK) on Jan. 21, 2025. “By making prudent, ongoing necessary investments to maintain and upgrade our water system, Tennessee American Water is committed to the safety and reliability of our water systems in the communities where we live and serve,” said Grant Evitts, Tennessee American Water president. “Our long-term investment approach allows us to continue delivering high-quality water service to our customers.” With the approved rate increase, the average bill for Chattanooga residential customers using 3,800 gallons per month with a 5/8-inch meter will see a minimal increase of less than $0.25 per month. The amount of the rate change customers will experience will vary among the company’s operating districts.
