    Rising rates bring calls for more oversight of this fast-growing private utility

    Residents in Louisiana are challenging rising water and sewer bills after private utility company Magnolia Water expanded and increased rates significantly since 2019. Critics argue the company’s profit-driven approach leads to high customer costs, while supporters claim private investment is necessary to repair aging infrastructure. The Louisiana Public Service Commission faces calls for stronger oversight due to concerns over consumer protections.
