Filing of Rate Request with the Public Service Commission of Maryland (the “MDPSC”) by Maryland-American Water Company (“Maryland American Water”)
On August 1, 2025, Maryland American Water, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Water Works Company, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that it filed a request with the MDPSC to adjust its water rates. The request seeks aggregate annualized incremental revenues of $3.0 million. The request is based on a proposed return on equity of 10.64% and a capital structure with an equity component of 52.32%. The requested annualized incremental revenue is driven primarily by approximately $22.0 million of capital investments completed by Maryland American Water from February 2019 through April 2025. The filing must be approved by the MDPSC, and if approved, it is anticipated that new rates would take effect in March 2026.
