Who regulates or controls ALPUC?

All water or sewer utilities that provide service to 15 or more connections are regulated in the State of West Virginia.

The West Virginia Public Service Commission, the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection regulate ALPUC. Federal regulations, which also affect ALPUC operations, generally are carried out through our West Virginia agencies. Each authority has specific reporting requirements to facilitate regular monitoring of ALPUC business and field operations. ALPUC also is subject to USDA bond requirements controlling ALPUC's business operations. One of the bond requirements, for example, is for an annual audit, and another is for monthly deposits to debt service and renewal and replacement reserves. There are many other requirements, and all require steady attention by ALPUC to protect the interests of ALPUC customers. Violation of government regulations can be very costly to utility company customers.
