| Summary |
Pursuant to WAC 480-07-370(3)(b) and 480-110-505, Suncadia Water Company, LLC files this petition seeking an accounting order to allow the use of deferred accounting, from the date of this petition forward, for costs associated with the recent COVID-19 public health emergency. Suncadia Water anticipates that the emergency, overall, will result in costs to customers that the Company seeks to defer for later rate-making treatment and recovery. The Company has suspended all service disconnections and late payment fees. This economic event is expected to drive significant accounts receivable write-off expense. Suncadia Water also may experience other costs related to the emergency that the Company is currently unable to predict and that are not otherwise included in current rates. The Company seeks this flexibility in order to be immediately responsive to public health emergencies and changing economic conditions facing customers. |
