A Public Utility Commission was not a necessary and indispensable party to an equity proceeding brought by a water authority against a private water company to collect a delinquent water bill, according to a Pennsylvania appellate court. Both the trial and appellate courts ruled that the Southwestern Pennsylvania Water Authority could threaten to discontinue water service to Mather Water Company because of an overdue bill without involvement of the PUC.
