Magnolia Water’s Rate Shock | Baton Rouge News
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Magnolia Water's rate hikes on Louisiana residents and the resulting activism against corporate practices.
Magnolia Water’s aggressive expansion across Louisiana has led to skyrocketing sewer rates—some customers paying as much as 200% more—while regulators rubber-stamp hikes, leaving residents like Cindy Case-Brown and Connie Norris to fight uphill against a corporate giant with deep legal resources. Though their immediate battle failed, their activism sparked statewide attention, triggering a financial audit and turning Magnolia into a political flashpoint—with even a customer running for a regulatory commission seat.
