Aquarion Water Company was awarded permission by the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to recover $9.5 million in drought-related costs from its customers. The utility can hold back credits due customers this year under a 2014 PURA rate settlement imposed to account for IRS deductions recorded by Aquarion for capital spending. Aquarion sought PURA permission in late November to pass onto customers the expenses related to drought, including the construction of temporary, above-ground pipelines to refill reservoirs.
