Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 30, 2013, the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (the “PURA”) issued a final decision on the application of The Connecticut Water Company (“CWC”), the principal operating subsidiary of Connecticut Water Service, Inc. (the “Company”), that will result in lower customer rates starting April 1, 2014. The change in customer rates is the result of a plan for CWC to return to its customers the benefits of a recent tax law clarification by the Internal Revenue Service that is estimated to result in a federal tax refund for the Company of an aggregate of approximately $10 million for tax years 2010 through 2012.
The Company issued a press release dated September 3, 2013 concerning the PURA’s final decision. A copy of the Company’s press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
