Water Rates and Charges by Spring Glen Lake Water Company LLC
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 Spring Glen Lake Water Company LLC to make various changes in the rates, charges, rules and regulations in its tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 1—Water, to become effective April 1, 2007.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 4(1), 5(1)(f), 89-c(1) and (10)
Subject:
Water rates and charges.
Purpose:
To increase Spring Glen Water Company LLC's annual revenues by about $20,124 or 479 percent.
Substance of proposed rule:
On January 5, 2007, Spring Glen Lake Water Company LLC (Spring Glen or the company) filed to become effective April 1, 2007, P.S.C. No. 1 -Water, Leaf Nos. 1-12 and Escrow Statement No. 1. Spring Glen filed a new electronic tariff in compliance with Public Service Commission Order in Cases 04-W-0983 and 06-W-0060 dated August 7, 2006. In addition, Spring Glen requests to increase its annual revenues by about $20,124 or 479%. The annual flat rate service charge for residential service would increase from $113.50 to $657.40 and would be billed quarterly in advance at $164.35. The company requests an Escrow Account with a maximum balance of $15,000 for the purpose of making repairs in excess of the amount allowed in rates. Customers would be surcharged $40 per quarter until the maximum balance is reached and would be replenished as needed. The company's electronic tariff defines when a bill will be delinquent and establishes a Late Payment Charge of 1 1/2% on unpaid bills of 30 days or longer and a Returned Check Charge equal to the bank charge plus a handling fee of $5, not to exceed the maximum allowed by Section 5-328 of the General Obligations Law. The company proposes a Restoration of Service Charge of $25 during normal business hours (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday) and $50 outside of normal business hours Monday through Friday and on weekends or public holidays. Spring Glen's proposed tariff is available on the Commission's Home Page on the World Wide Web (www.dps.state.ny.us) — located under the file room — Tariffs. The company provides flat rate water service to approximately 37 customers in a real estate development known as Spring Glen Lakes Estates in the Town of Mamakating, Sullivan County. The Commission may approve or reject, in whole or in part, or modify, the company's proposed tariff revisions.
