GREENWOOD – Indiana American Water announced that it is providing a fourth bill credit to customers this month following the company's receipt of proceeds from settlements reached with manufacturers of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). With this latest credit, Indiana American Water will have returned a total of over $25.5 million to customers statewide of PFAS settlement distributions.
Since November 2025, eligible water customers will have received nearly $75 per account in PFAS settlement credits. For the average residential customer, that amount exceeds the cost of a typical monthly water bill, based on average usage of 4,000 gallons per month and an average monthly bill of approximately $55.
Credits totaled $74.92 broken into four terms including November 2025, $13.20; January 2026, $39.43; July-August 2026, $10.64; and October 2026, $11.65.
The credits distribute settlement proceeds Indiana American Water received from PFAS manufacturers through a customer bill credit mechanism approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).
“Indiana American Water remains committed to returning these settlement proceeds directly to our customers while continuing to invest in the long-term protection of safe, clean, reliable and affordable drinking water across Indiana,” said Barry Suits, president of Indiana American Water. “These credits provide a direct customer benefit from the settlements, while our company continues making significant investments in monitoring, treatment technologies and infrastructure improvements designed to address contaminants of emerging concern such as PFAS. We believe customers should receive the benefit of these settlement funds as quickly and efficiently as possible.”
