CASE NO. 25-0068-W-30B
SUNNY VIEW ACRES WATER PROJECT
Rule 30B application to pass through the increased purchased water costs from the Town of Farmington to the customers of Sunny View Acres Water Project.
NOTICE OF FILING
NOTICE is hereby given that Sunny View Acres Water Project (Sunny View), a public utility, filed a request to pass through increased purchased water costs from the Town of Farmington (Farmington) to Sunny View’s customers. On June 17, 2024, Farmington adopted a 2024 Water Rate Ordinance effective for bills rendered on and after August 1, 2024 that increased rates from $5.67 per 1,000 gallons to $7.65 per 1,000 gallons for resale customers.
Commission Staff reviewed Sunny View’s application and recommended that the Commission approve Staff Recommended Rates effective on an interim basis. By Order issued April 14, 2025, the Commission approved the Staff Recommended Rates on an interim basis, that increased rates by $2.27 per thousand gallons metered water usage for all bills issued on and after April 14, 2025.
The average monthly bill will be changed as follows over current rates:
$ Increase % Increase
Residential $6.81 20.54%
The 30B procedure is designed to provide for a change in rates and charges in order to produce additional revenue sufficient, but no more than sufficient, to offset the increased cost for water purchased by the utility. Consequently, protest should be limited to the reasonableness of the cost offset and the method by which it is calculated. Anyone desiring to protest or intervene should file a written protest or notice of intervention within twenty (20) days following the date of this publication unless otherwise modified by Commission order. Failure to timely intervene can affect your rights to protest any rate increases and to participate in future proceedings. Requests to intervene must comply with the Commission’s rules on intervention. All protests and interventions should be addressed to the Executive Secretary, Public Service Commission of West Virginia, P. O. Box 812, Charleston, WV 25323.
