Review of Developments in Water Utility Law, 1964–65: ABA Subcommittee Report

Abstract

This report discussses new developments in the water utility field, which were somewhat limited for the year of 1964‐65. A number of companies initiated or completed formal rate proceedings, but in general there was less activity in this field. Reductions in federal income tax rates have produced few reductions in water company rates, but they have postponed the necessity for higher rates in many cases. In addition, there is some leveling off in the attrition problem which has been so serious for the water industry during the last 20 years.
