County says it has asked American Water for records as part of Bel Air condemnation efforts
Summary
County lawyers have requested information from American Water and are coordinating with the Office of People's Counsel and the Public Service Commission to support valuation work as part of ongoing condemnation efforts in Bel Air; staff expect material from the utility to reach evaluation experts within about 30 days.
Lee (speaker 5) updated commissioners on condemnation efforts in Bel Air, saying staff sent information requests to American Water and are coordinating with the Office of People's Counsel (OPC) and the Public Service Commission. Lee said UPC has been "particularly helpful" and that the county expects information back from American Water so evaluation experts can begin valuation work "in the next 30 to 30 days or so."
Lee framed the work as seeking to reduce rates for citizens in the area and said the county is engaging regulatory counsel and valuation experts. He asked commissioners to keep momentum and reiterated that staff would post updates to the county website if hearing dates or substantive status changes occur.
