The Company was granted approval by the PPUCto modify its tariff to include the cost of the annual replacement of up to 400 lead customer-owned service lines over nine years from the date of the agreement.

The Company recorded the costs as a regulatory asset to be recovered in future base rates to customers, over a four-year period. The cost for the customer-owned lead service line replacements was approximately $2,093 and $2,087 through June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included as a regulatory asset.
