No.: (412) 204-7029 PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH BLACK BLACK ELECTED OFFICALS COALITION ELECTED OFFICIALS August 14, 2020 Ms. Rosemary Chiavetta, Secretary PA Public Utility Commission Commonwealth Keystone Building 400 North Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Chiavetta, We are writing to formally express our strong opposition to the multi-year rate increase proposed by Pennsylvania American Water (PAW). In our capacity as State, County, and City legislators, we represent a far reaching constituency, including 95% of the traditionally African American communities in Allegheny County and the Pittsburgh region. The multi-year request submitted by PAW would increase the typical residential water and wastewater bill by an estimated 24%. According to a report by the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, "the average Pennsylvania American Water customer currently receives a monthly $118.27 water and sewer bill. After the second round of rate hikes kick in, the bill would increase to $146.58 monthly - an increase of 23.9%." We believe that the combined increases would be particularly burdensome for our residents. We understand the need for continued infrastructure updates to ensure the safety of the provided services, but we cannot allow them to place a financial burden on constituents throughout our collective districts. Additionally, we are requesting reporting on Pennsylvania American Water’s diversity and inclusion records, specifically hiring and contracting. The agency has requested a rate increase that will deeply impact residents of color, we would like to quantify their equity measures. PBEOC Members: PA State Representives. Jake Wheatley, Ed Gainey and Summer Lee; Pittsburgh Councilmen Rev. Ricky Burgess and Daniel Lavelle; as well as County Councilpersons DeWitt Walton and Olivia Bennett Thank you for noting this letter as part of the official record. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at (412) 204-7029. Yours in Service, PA State Representative Jake Wheatley PA State Representative Ed Gainey PA State Representative Summer Lee PA State Representative Austin Davis Councilman Rev. Ricky Burgess Councilman Daniel Lavelle County Councilman DeWitt Walton County Councilwoman Olivia Bennett.

    April 21, 2020 Secretary Teresa Miller Pennsylvania Department of Human Services 625 Forster Street Harrisburg, PA 17120 Dear Secretary Miller, Re: Safe Food Purchasing Options for SNAP Recipients As legislators, we understand the economic precariousness of our constituents since the onset of the COVID-19 outbreaks and that it has increased the need for people to access the SNAP benefits program to ensure food security. We understand the need for SNAP recipients to have safe access to groceries which would include access to online grocery shopping and delivery services. More than one-third of SNAP households include a family member who is an older adult or someone with a disability and many of these families rely on ride-sharing or public transportation options to go grocery shopping. Leaving their homes to make in-person payments or even using neighborhood volunteer-based buddy systems further increases the risk of contracting COVID-19 for an already at-risk population. We support DHS in submitting a waiver that allows SNAP benefit users to complete online grocery orders (and allow for home delivery service) so that they may adhere to the COVID-19 response guidelines outlined by the state government. This waiver will be a good start to supporting our most vulnerable population. Additionally, we encourage you to look ahead to broadening the options and abilities for using and accepting SNAP benefits. From across the Commonwealth, we hear concerns about the safety and security of local food growers and producers who keep our food supply safe and steady and the financial security of these industries that are considered essential.
