The Commission filed a Proposed Rulemaking (CR-102) with the Code Reviser's Office on May 7, 2008, on final draft rules to WAC 480-120-071, Extension of service, relating to requirements for extension of service to customers within a company's service territory, and WAC 480-120-103, Application of service, relating to requirements the applicant and the company must meet for a service application. The Commission provided interested persons the opportunity to submit written comments on the proposed rules by June 6, 2008. Because the Commission recently learned that a few interested persons were inadvertently omitted from the Commission's mailing list, the date for filing comments is extended to July 16, 2008. The Commission filed a continuance of its CR-102 with the Code Reviser's Office on June 23, 2008. In addition, the Commission has rescheduled its adoption hearing from Thursday, June 26, 2008, at 1:30 p.m., to Thursday, August 14, 2008, at 1:30 p.m., at UTC headquarters in Olympia. (Docket UT-073014, see "Documents" link below for more information)
The proposed rules would allow an applicant an extension of up to 1000 feet at no charge and would require the applicant to bear the cost of extending plant beyond 1000 feet. In addition, the terminating access charge method of cost recovery would be eliminated for future extensions.
