Case No. 18-1334-PWD-42T
Adrian Public Service District
NOTICE OF FILING
On October 29,2020, the Adrian Public Service District filed an Application to Change Rates requesting that the Public Service Commission of West Virginia (Commission) approve the removal of the Step-2 rates approved in Case No.18-1334-PWD-42T by Order of (date) to go into effect on March 26, 2019. The result will be that the current rates will remain in effect instead of a rate reduction of approximately 2.24 percent on average that would have otherwise been effective on March 26, 2021.
Current rates will remain in effect until further order of the Commission. West Virginia Code Section 24-1-1 (k) requires water and sewer utilities that are political subdivisions of the state maintain a working capital reserve in an amount of no less than one-eighth of actual annual operation and maintenance expense. In order to assure that utilities deliver continuous and compliant service the Commission, in Case No.18-1334-PWD-42T approved a cash working capital increment to allow Adrian Public Service District to achieve the required cash working capital reserve. Adrian Public Service District has applied for Commission approval to maintain the cash working capital increment in its rates to ensure that the cash working capital reserve is properly maintained.
Anyone desiring to protest should file a written protest as soon as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after the date of publication of this Notice. All written protests should briefly state the reason for the protest. Absent substantial protest the Commission may decide the case on the filings. All protests should clearly state the case name and number and be addressed to Connie Graley, Executive Secretary, Public Service Commission of West Virginia, P.O. Box 812, Charleston, West Virginia 25323.
