NOTICES

Petition of Philadelphia Suburban Water Company for Approval to Implement a Tariff Supplement Establishing a Distribution System Improvement Charge; Doc. No. P-00961036

[26 Pa.B. 1610]

   Philadelphia Suburban Water Company filed a petition at Docket No. P-00961036, requesting that the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) approve the implementation of a tariff supplement which establishes a Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) to be effective for service rendered on or after July 1, 1996. Establishment of the DSIC, under 66 Pa.C.S. § 1307 (relating to sliding scale of rates; adjustments), would provide for the recovery of the fixed costs (depreciation and pre-tax revenue) of certain nonrevenue producing, nonexpense reducing infrastructure rehabilitation projects completed and placed in service between the company's base rate cases. The petition states that the DSIC is in the public interest in that it would provide the company, among other things, with the resources needed to accelerate investment in new utility plant to replace aging water distribution infrastructure, thereby facilitating compliance with the evolving regulatory requirements imposed by the Safe Drinking Water Act. In addition, the DSIC will be capped at 5% of the amount billed to customers under otherwise applicable rates and charges.

   Persons desiring to file answers to this petition may do so in accordance with 52 Pa. Code § 5.61. All such answers must be filed with the Secretary, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, P. O. Box 3265, Harrisburg, PA 17105-3265 within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. In addition to the requirements of 52 Pa. Code § 1.37, one additional copy of the answers should be filed with the Commission's Law Bureau. Copies of the petitions are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection. The contact person is Assistant Counsel Susan T. Povilaitis, (717) 787-2871.

Secretary
