Description
The plaintiffs in this bill in chancery allege that they are the owners of a single family house in the defendant village which they occupy as a residence. The defendant village, hereinafter termed the defendant, is engaged in the generation, sale and distribution of electric power and current and since Jan. 1, 1936, has published and had on file with the Public Service Commission a certain schedule of rates charged for such current and service, as applied to residences. The defendant is also engaged in the sale and distribution of water and water service for residence and domestic purposes and since Jan. 1, 1936, it has had on file, published and in effect a fixed schedule of charges for such water and water service. During the period referred to in the complaint it is alleged that the defendant, from time to time, has charged the plaintiffs rates much in excess of the rates so scheduled both for electric current and for water furnished to their residence. It is further alleged that on May 14, 1942, the defendant filed with the Public Service Commission an amendment to its electric rate schedule which would require the plaintiffs to provide a meter, thereby increasing the cost of electric service to them. It is claimed that this amendment is invalid because the defendant failed to give thirty days notice and to comply in other respects with P. L. Sec. 6100. It is alleged that the defendant, in order to enforce compliance with its demands, has threatened to shut off the water and electricity from the plaintiffs residence and has in fact at different times shut off the electricity therefrom. It is alleged that relief in a court of equity is required to prevent a multiplicity of suits and irreparable injury to the plaintiffs.
