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, tariff revisions filed by Hill Waterworks Corp. to make various changes in the rates, charges, rules and regulations in its tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 2—Water, to become effective April 1, 2008.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1)(f), 89-c(1) and (10)
Subject:
Water rates and charges.
Purpose:
To increase Hill Waterworks Corp.'s annual revenues by $4,903 or 27 percent.
Substance of proposed rule:
On October 18, 2007, Hill Waterworks Corp. (Hill or the Company) filed to become effective April 1, 2008, Leaf No. 12, Revision 1, to its tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 2—Water. Hill requests to increase its annual revenues by about $4,903 or 27 percent. The company provides metered rate water service to 48 residential customers in the Town of Kinderhook, Columbia County. Based on an annual usage of 90,000 gallons, the typical residential customer's annual bill would increase from $382 to $484. The minimum quarterly charge would increase from $63.30 to $68.30, and the rate per thousand gallons for usage in excess of 10,000 gallons per quarter would increase from $2.57 to $4.21. Fire protection service is not provided. Hill's tariff, along with its proposed changes (Leaf No. 12, Revision 1) is available on the Commission's Home Page on the World Wide Web (
