A proposal to transfer part ownership of the Lake Alpine
Water Company has been filed with the California Public Utility Commission.
Go to
http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/efile/A/133922.pdf to see the application. The
BVRI Board voted to send a letter to the CPUC,
supporting the current owners and opposing a change in ownership. A protest
was filed against the transfer. The CPUC held a hearing on
April 26, 2012. The judge ruled that the discovery period ends May 31 (no
new filings allowed), after which we may look for a ruling, perhaps by late
July.
-
The CPUC has ruled that the overpayment by ratepayers against
the loan for construction of the new treatment plant shall be refunded by a
surcredit, reducing ratepayers' bills for 5 months.
