PUC rules against city of Bryson

The Public Utility Commission of Texas made a decision Thursday, Feb. 27, in the dispute between the city of Graham’s wholesale water customers including the city of Bryson and the city of Graham related to an appeal filed in October 2017. The commissioners made a decision based on a memo filed by Chairman DeAnn Walker Wednesday, in which she agreed with the administrative law judges ‘opinion in favor of the city of Graham.

The memo states the petition failed to meet their burden of proof and show the city of Graham’s rates were “adverse to the public interest and that the petitions should be dismissed.” The PUC heard arguments from attorneys representing both sides of the case Friday, Feb. 14, and tabled the topic until the next open meeting Feb. 27.
