My base usage rates from American Water company have increased over 33% since June of 2023 through May of 2026. • June 2023 Unit Rate: $0.77604 per unit. • May 2026 Unit Rate: $1.03749 per unit. In addition my Metro Sewer Bills have increased over 19% for the same time period. This may not be meaningful to many, however to us Seniors this amounts to real money with little benefits to show for the increases, no improvement in service or water quality, and we have no choice but to just pay it. All of the notifications and advertisements around ways for us to reduce water usage, has little effect if American just keeps raising rates. This is a publicly held company that continues to report higher profits—apparently at the expense of us. |

Dan is opposed to any increase in rates. Was with city of Eureka and MAWC has had so many rate increases over the recent years. He is paying 10 times more than he used to with the city. Cannot afford any new increases. Wants PSC to deny rate increase request. |

Missouri American Water wants to increase rates again. They seem to do this a lot. It is not fair that they just increase rates when they feel like it. They may have reasoning behind it, but what about the consumers? I am a senior living on social security, and when Eureka sold our water system to them my water bill went up substantially. I paid for a year or more before the water was even connected and running into Eureka. Now we have the hyperscale data center issue. Our government says we the consumers will not pay for the water and electric. However, I am skeptical and believe this rate increase is indeed connected to the hyperscale data centers going in around Missouri. We should not have any rate increase. |

I currently owe 800 dollars to the water company Missouri American Water. Our rates already had a 100% increase in the last 2 years in our city. This is already unaffordable prior to another rate increase. We also have solar panels and with last years rate increase with Ameren, we are now having to pay more, making the solar panels mean nothing. |

I oppose this rate increase. When MAWC took over our water rates drastically increased. The cost of everything has increased. Another increase would be detrimental to our community. Related Submission number is WR-2026-0304 |

I oppose the rate increase that MAWC has requested. This is a lot for the majority of consumers. Both of these utilities have just recently has a few increases over the past couple of years. Having another one will cause an undue burden on rate payers. |

Please do not approve any type of price increase for Missouri American water. Enough is enough. Frequent issues with low water pressure or no water at all. If they can't work with what they have already them stop buying up all the small water districts and making the the residents pay so much more. |

I wish to object to the recently filed rate increase. My water/sewer bill has doubled in the past year and now MAW is asking for another increase. Please do not let this increase happen. Most people that live on a fixed budget simply cannot afford it. I have heard/read that the increase is to pay for the aging infrastructure here in Neosho, Missouri. I believe some of these problems should have been addressed decades ago, but instead, have been ignored by city leadership. Please keep the public in mind on this rate increase request. |
