PSC to hear arguments on PSC water, sewer rate increase

In just three weeks South Carolina’s Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing on Carolina Water Service’s proposed 18.3% percent increase in water and sewer rates for residents in Tega Cay.

That hearing will take place Monday, December 3rd 6 p.m. in the Glennon Ballroom in Tega Cay.

State Rep. Ralph Norman of Rock Hill, whose district includes Tega Cay, says most residents there oppose any increase in water and sewer rates charged by Carolina Water Service.

Norman says the water provider is already in litigation with another York County municipality.
