Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Procedures.
(1) Whenever a small water or wastewater
					 utility desires to file a change in its tariff which increases annual revenues,
					 it may advise the Commission of its intention in letter form and request the
					 necessary Commission forms. When filing, the utility shall set forth its
					 proposed tariff changes and reasons for the changes, together with the
					 necessary completed Commission forms. If the utility is unable to fully
					 complete the necessary forms, it may request assistance from the Commission
					 staff.
(2) The small water utility
					 or wastewater utility is required to fully cooperate with the Commission staff
					 in providing the necessary information to complete these forms if the utility
					 is unable to do so on its own.
(3)
					 Upon completion of the Commission forms in a manner satisfactory to the
					 Commission staff, the small water or wastewater utility shall file a tariff or
					 tariff supplement, along with the completed forms, incorporating the proposed
					 changes. The effective date of the proposed increase contained in the tariff or
					 tariff supplements may not be less than 61 days after the filing, and customers
					 shall be notified in accordance with §
												53.45(a)(2)
					 (relating to notice of new tariffs and tariff changes).
(4) On the basis of the tariff filing, the
					 accompanying data and completed forms, the staff shall determine tentative
					 allowable revenues and submit a report to the Commission.
(5) If the proposed revenues exceed the
					 tentative allowable revenues, the Commission will suspend the supple- ment but
					 with a "condition subsequent" added, to the effect that if the utility within a
					 specified number of days files a superseding supplement which produces the
					 allowable revenues found by the staff and which has a rate structure
					 satisfactory to the Commission, the suspension and investigation orders of the
					 Commission shall be deemed inoperative and terminated. However, if the utility
					 fails to meet the "condition subsequent," or if a customer files a formal
					 complaint, the utility may present the supporting data and the additional facts
					 referred to in this section in formal proceedings. Additionally, in these
					 formal proceedings, the utility may agree to accept the most recent rate of
					 return or operating ratio allowed a water or wastewater utility by the
					 Commission in a fully-litigated water or wastewater utility rate case, but the
					 agreement will not be binding on the Commission or any formal
					 complainant.
(6) A water or
					 wastewater utility with a gross revenue of less than $250,000 annually shall be
					 considered a small water or wastewater utility for purposes of short-form rate
					 filings.

					 operating revenues of the utility for the latest 12-month period, the end of
					 which shall not be more than 60 days prior to such filing.

					 increase or decrease on the annual revenues of the utility.

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a) In discharging its burden of proof under
					 section 315 of the act (relating to burden of proof), a public utility may
					 submit and use data for a future test year. The submission shall be in addition
					 to, and not in lieu of, other data or material required under this title,
					 including the submission requirements for an experienced 12-month test period.
					 If a future test year is used, it shall be based on esti- mates for a period of
					 12 consecutive months, which begins on the day following the end of the
					 required experienced 12-month period. The estimate for a future test year shall
					 be of the same or similar type, quantum and nature as required to be submitted
					 for an experienced test year and include the methodology, data and material
					 used as the basis for the estimates.
(b) If a public utility submits and uses data
					 for a future test year, it shall, during the course of the proceeding, submit
					 for the record the results of its actual experience in the future test year for
					 each quarter starting with the day following the end of the required
					 experienced 12-month period. The results shall be submitted within 30 days of
