the Nesbitt or Hillside treatment
plants would go from $150 to $286.
Customers of four so-called Back
Mountain subsidiaries are among
those served by the plants.

Marlane Chestnut and Michael
Schnierle will preside at the 2:30
and 7 p.m. sessions in room 131 of
the Luzerne County Community
College Conference Center, Pros-
pect St. and Middle Rd.
Customers may give testimony
that becomes part of the record on
which the PUC will base its deci-
sion in the case; make off-the-
record statements; or provide in-
formation to the PUC's Office of
Trial Staff or state Office of Con-
sumer Advocate (OCA) for possible
.use at formal testimony-taking
hearings now under way.
PG&W sought to put the boost
in effect March 31, but the PUC
suspended it for investigation.
PG&W said lack of rate relief for
six years has brought it “danger-
ously close” to being without fund-
ing to continue a system improve-
ment program.
Both an $11.1 million yearly
hike filed by PG&W in 1985 and an
$8.7 million boost sought in 1987
were rejected by the commission
on the basis of substandard water
quality.
The utility proposed no change
in rates for its 103,000 other users
in Luzerne and Lackawanna coun-
ties.
The OCA and one customer filed
complaints.
