SAGLE — The Algoma Water System has been given the green light to increase the residential and commercial rates it charges to provide water service.

"The commission has reviewed the record in this case and finds that the company’s request to increase rates by 100% is reasonable," Idaho Public Utilities Commission officials said in a final order in the case. "The company’s current rate structure is insufficient to sustainably meet its obligations required to provide safe and reliable service going forward."

The decision follows an October hearing by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission during a visit to Bonner County.
