The Proposed Transaction entails the acquisition of LLWC by Veolia and subsequent merger of LLWC with and into Veolia. If the Petition is approved, there will be no rate effect on Lake Lenape customers at this time in connection with the Proposed Transaction, thus the rates will remain the same.

The Board will evaluate the impact of the Proposed Transaction on competition, the rate paid by the customers of the LLWC, the employees of LLWC, and the provision of safe and adequate utility service at just and reasonable rates. The Joint Petitioners state that the Proposed Transaction will not have an adverse impact on competition, rates, employees of LLWC, or on the provision of safe, adequate and proper utility service, and instead will provide positive benefits as demonstrated by the commitments included in the Joint Petition.
