BENWOOD, W.Va. – The City of Benwood’s complaint to the West Virginia Public Service Commission regarding a rate increase from the City of Wheeling has been dismissed due to a failure to file paperwork on time.
Benwood relies on Wheeling’s water plant to treat its sewage, and city officials had raised concerns about the proposed rate hike. However, the Public Service Commission ruled the complaint procedurally invalid because required filings were not submitted within the designated timeframe.
No additional details on whether Benwood will pursue further action or appeal the decision were immediately available.
