Abstract:
The third part in a three-part series about Aqua North Carolina. Explored is the Acquisitions Incentive Account (AIA) mechanism which allows Aqua NC to purchase troubled water systems. This rarely used mechanism has seen Aqua NC raise its rates for customers state-wide in NC even if they purchase a troubled water system and customers are not in that system. The AIA is seen as a special deal by critics and the rate increases have outraged citizens using the private utilities system.
