Filed Date 09/15/2009
Effective Date 10/16/2009
Summary Commission consideration to allow revised rates to go into effect June 1, 2010. This filing is currently suspended. The company and staff agreed to a lower revenue requirement and revised rates. The revised rates would result in increased annual bills for some up-size meter customers, as compared to the rates the company originally proposed. The company asks for rule exemptions to allow the revised rates to become effective June 1, 2010, on less than statutory notice and to allow the company to notice customers of increases with the next billing. The company serves approximately 16,000 customers on 28 different water systems located in Pierce and Kitsap counties. The company's last general rate increase was effective July 16, 2001.
