American States Water Company (NYSE: AWR) announced that the California Supreme Court has vacated a prior decision by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to end the Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (WRAM). The WRAM, in place since 2008, decouples water utilities' revenue from water consumption, promoting conservation through tiered pricing. This mechanism and the tiered rates resulted in a 41.6% reduction in water use per customer by 2023 compared to 2007. AWR had contested the CPUC's 2020 decision along with other water utilities, leading to the favorable ruling. The decision sustains financial stability for AWR, aiding in infrastructure investment and dividend growth.
