Hello Michael [Lanoue],
Keeping the research straight  on DPU, DEP, and EPA sites is quite a challenge and I misspoke when I referred to a letter from DPU, when in fact it is DEP.  See:

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Regan:
Thank you for your question.  I am not able to discuss the specifics of an ongoing investigation, but I can say that the Department is investigating the changes that Housatonic Water proposed to its rates and rules tariffs.  Also, I am able to discuss the Department’s process for this case.  For example, I can share that after receiving Housatonic Water’s petition, the Department issued a Notice of Filing, which described the petition and provided information about the process for public comments and intervention. The Attorney General has intervened on behalf of Housatonic Water’s customers.  No other party has filed a petition to intervene so far; the deadline for intervention is September 12th.  Also, the Department is in the process of reviewing the changes that Housatonic Water has proposed to its tariffs and issuing discovery on the Company’s proposals.
