Rate hike lawsuit against Montana PSC dropped

A district court judge has dismissed a lawsuit North Star Development filed against the Montana Public Service Commission, which had ordered the company to reduce water and sewer rates for 270 Helena Valley homeowners. The lawsuit filed last year in Lewis and Clark County District Court stemmed from a contested rate case before the PSC. North Star requested an increase in rates, but the PSC ordered rates reduced instead. North Star Development plan to meet next week to decide whether to appeal to the Montana Supreme Court.
