12/29/10 N.Y. St. Reg. PSC-52-10-00009-P
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The PSC is considering a proposal filed by United Water New York, Inc. (UWNY) to recover $73,577 under-collection from UIRP Surcharge, and approve accounting treatment of additional MTBE proceeds totaling $19,492 received in late October 2010.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 89-c(10)
Subject:
Water Fees Refund.
Purpose:
Recover $73,577 under-collection from the UIRP Surcharge and accounting treatment of additional MTBE proceeds totaling $19,492.
Substance of proposed rule:
United Water New York Inc. (UWNY or the company) provides water service to approximately 70,240 customers or 90% of the population of Rockland County, living in the Towns of Ramapo, Clarkstown, Orangetown, Stony Point, and Haverstraw. UWNY also encompasses United Water South County Water Inc. that provides water service to approximately 486 customers, in portions of the Towns of Tuxedo, Warwick, and Monroe, in Orange County.
On December 5, 2010, the company filed a petition requesting approval to recover $73,577 under-collection from the Underground Infrastructure Renewal Program (UIRP) Surcharge for the period January 1, 2010 through August 31, 2010, and for approval for treatment of additional Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether (MTBE) settlement proceeds totaling $19,492, to become effective March 1, 2011.
The company requests that these two balances be netted against the MTBE proceeds approved in Case 09-W-0731. The netting of these two items results in a reduction of current MTBE of $3,599,080, by $59,887, for a total of $3,539,193 to be passed back to customers. The Commission may approve or reject, in whole or in part, or modify the company's request.
