Needed PUC Approval


In the past the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) held a rate hearing (starting in February 14 2006, Proceeding A0602026) to approve the Settlement and recovery costs of the litigation and settlement including the Water Intertie Project (WIP) That request was not fully approved. The litigation cost were approved but the settlement and the rate recovery for the settlement (which includes the WIP) were not approved (but not denied). Golden State Water Company let the hearing process time out and end before the PUC made a approve/disapprove decision on the rate recovery of the WIP.
