Synopsis

This book examines the history of public utility rate fixing in the United States, with a focus on water rights and valuation. The author, an expert in water law and engineering, argues that accrued depreciation should not affect rates and that the rate base should be determined from legitimate investment. The book also discusses the concept of going value and the role of the unearned increment in rate fixing. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of protecting the investment of public utilities while also ensuring that rates are fair to consumers. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex issues involved in public utility rate fixing and offers valuable insights for policymakers, regulators, and anyone interested in the history of public utilities. Its historical perspective and analysis provide valuable context for understanding the current state of public utility regulation.
