Public Service Commission Determines Water Works Charges

You can find Public Service Commission documents related to Milwaukee Water Works charges at the PSC website. Search by case number ("PSC Order") 3720-WR-109 (dated 3/2/23) or by utility name, for more information about the PSC order related to the 2023 rate increase. Copies of this PSC order are available at our Customer Service Center, 841 N. Broadway, 4th floor.

Wisconsin state law establishes that water rates are based on the cost of operations and services, not on household income levels. Drinking water utilities are not allowed to charge lower rates based on income because the Public Service Commission, which regulates water utilities, considers this a discriminatory practice. If you need assistance managing your bill, contact our Customer Service Reps at 414-286-2830 and ask about a payment plan.
