Initial Tariff Schedule Including the Company's Proposed Rate

PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:

Proposed Action:

The Public Service Commission is considering whether to approve or reject, in whole or in part, or modify, Westfall Village Water Co., Inc.'s Initial Tariff Schedule P.S.C. No. 1 — Water, to become effective April 1, 2011.

Statutory authority:

Public Service Law, section 89-e(2)

Subject:

Initial Tariff Schedule including the company's proposed rate.

Purpose:

To approve an Initial Tariff Schedule and an initial rate for water service.

Substance of proposed rule:

On September 21, 2010, Westfall Village Water Co., Inc. (Westfall Village or company) filed an electronic initial tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 1 - Water, to become effective April 1, 2011, which sets forth the rates, charges, rules and regulations under which the company will operate. Westfall Village currently has no customers but at full development will have 80 customers in the Bon Acre Hamlet Planned Development District in the Town of Sand Lake, Rensselaer County.

Westfall Village proposes a metered rate of $5.50 per thousand gallons with quarterly billing in arrears. The tariff defines when a bill will be considered delinquent and establishes a late payment charge of 1½ percent per month, compounded monthly, and a returned check charge equal to the bank charge plus a handling fee of $5. The company is proposing restoration of service charges of $150 during normal business hours Monday through Friday; $300 outside of normal business hours Monday through Friday; and $300 for weekends and public holidays. The company’s tariff is available via the internet on the PSC’s web site at www.dps.state.ny.us located under File Room – Tariffs. The Commission may approve or reject, in whole or in part, or modify Westfall Village’s rates and charges.
