Status Closed
Lead Staff Mickelson, Christopher (UTC)
Filed Date 12/17/2009
Effective Date 06/01/2010
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 higher revenue requirement and revised rates. The revised rates would result in increased annual bills for some 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 notify customers of increases with the next billing. The company serves approximately 21,100 residential and commercial customers in the northeastern part of King County. The company's last general rate increase was effective September 1, 2005.
