BPU Docket No. WR25080471
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Gordon's Corner Water Company ("Company"), a public utility of the State of New Jersey, filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities ("Board") on August 29, 2025 to increase rates for water service through an adjustment in the level of its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause ("PWAC") pursuant to N.J.A.C. 14:9-7.1 et seq., and N.J.S.A. 48:2-21 ("Petition").
