The requested increase is based on an estimated total revenue requirement of $12,139,430 for the January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 test year (“Test Year”), and an 8.05% rate of return on HAWC’s average Test Year rate base of $40,188,790.
As part of its Application, HAWC also requests the Commission approve certain revisions or modifications to its Rules and Regulations, as set forth in HAWC Tariff No. 1, which include the following:
1. Amending and replacing Revised Sheet 1A to reflect updated definitions to the terms “Building sewer”/”building sewer” and “Service Connection”/”service connection” in light of the proposed changes to Rule V Connections and Cut-Offs.
2. Amending and replacing Revised Sheets 5 and 6 to reflect changes to Rule V Connections and Cut-Offs to more clearly delineate the customer’s responsibility for the building sewer (including to install and maintain a readily accessible sewer clean out) and HAWC’s responsibility for the service connection and its sewer lines (i.e., referred to in HAWC Tariff No. 1 as the “Company’s sewer”).
3. Inserting a new Original Sheet 15C to add a new Rule XVII for an Automatic Power Cost Adjustment Clause to address power cost recovery.
4. Amending and replacing Sheet 18 with a revised Schedule of Wastewater Rates for residential, commercial and public authority customers to reflect the rates and rate structure proposed by HAWC in this proceeding to reflect HAWC’s requested revenue requirement.
5. Inserting a new Original Exhibit A to include a service area map to clarify and depict Applicant’s authorized service area.
The Commission will investigate whether HAWC’s proposed relief is just and reasonable.
