PENNVEST LOAN OBLIGATIONS FOR WATER AND SEWER COMPANIES-STATEMENT OF POLICY
Section 69.361 - General
PENNVEST loans were established to provide funding to water and wastewater companies for improvements of drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities in this Commonwealth. The Commission is required to establish expedited practices, procedures and policies to facilitate and accomplish repayment of the loan obligations. See section 14 of the PENNVEST Act (35 P. S. § 751.14). Companies with outstanding PENNVEST loans not currently reflected in rates and companies that will receive PENNVEST loans in the future are encouraged to establish under 66 Pa.C.S. § 1307(a) (relating to sliding scale of rates; adjustments) and subject to Commission approval, an automatic adjustment by means of a sliding scale of rates limited solely to the recovery of PENNVEST principal and interest obligations, instead of seeking recovery of these amounts under 66 Pa.C.S. § 1308 (relating to voluntary changes in rates) base rate filing.
