Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Department of Waterworks of
the Town of Schererville, Lake County, Indiana (the “Town”), will hold a public hearing at 7:00
p.m. on Wednesday, August 8, 2012, in the Town Council Chambers, Schererville Town Hall,
10 E. Joliet Street, Schererville, Indiana, on the matter of proposed amended rates and charges to
the Town’s Waterworks Utility to consider a tracker increase and amendment to the Town Water
Rate Ordinance as a consequence of the recent Rate Order of the IURC on Petition of the Town
Water Supplier, Indiana-American Water Company, consistent with the applicable rules of the
IURC, to that jurisdictional entity.

At the public hearing, customers and users of the Town’s
waterworks utility, owners of property served or to be served by the Town’s waterworks utility,
and other interested persons, may be heard concerning the tracker rates and charges to be
established by a proposed Amendatory Water Rate Ordinance of the Town Council. The
amended water tracker rates and charges will provide an increase in the schedule of rates and
charges for water sold by the Town Water Utility in the anticipated amount of $1.0739 per 1000
gallons as a wholesale water cost tracker.

The changes in the schedule of rates and charges submitted to the IURC are based solely
on the change in the cost of water purchased by the Town Waterworks Water Utility from
Indiana-American Water Company. The rate changes shall apply for the next practical
consumption period following final approval by the IURC.

In the event that any customer or user of the Schererville Waterworks Utility seeks to file
an objection to this increase request, it may do so by contacting the Indiana Utility Regulatory
Commission at PNC Bank, 101 West Washington Street, Suite 1500 E, Indianapolis, IN 46204
or the Indiana Office at Utility Consumer Counselor at PNC Bank, 115 West Washington Street,
Suite 1500 South, Indianapolis, IN 46204
