NOTICE OF APPLICATION TO CHANGE RATES
On August 22, 2025, Hundred-Littleton Public Service
District (HLPSD) applied for revised rates for providing
sanitary sewer services under the Commission process
applicable to small utilities. It also requested emergency
interim rates during the pendency of this proceeding.
On September 24, 2025, Commission Staff filed a
memorandum recommending the Commission grant
HLPSD interim rates generating an additional $43,621
annually or 28.75 percent over current rates. Staff also
requested a portion of the revenue collected be
dedicated to a bond arrearage. The interim rates
became a Commission Order on October 16, 2025.
On December 22, 2025, Staff recommended the
Commission adopt revised rates in two steps with the
first step equal to the current interim rates and the
second rate step generating an additional 45.82 percent
above the approved rates, effective on approval of a
pending administrative services agreement. The tariff

$18.20 per 1,000 gallons (includes $1.97 for USDA
arrearage)

(includes $5.91 for USDA arrearage)

month (includes $6.91 for USDA arrearage)
