Public Meeting held

Tentative Order

By the Commission:

   By letter dated March 3, 1997, the East Haines Township Water Company, Inc. (East Haines) informed the Commission that the Woodward Water Company (Woodward), a certified water utility, has abandoned service. Woodward was organized in 1872, and subsequently received operating authority from the Public Service Commission, predecessor to this Commission, to provide water distribution service to the public of eastern Haines Township, Centre County. As a grandfathered public utility, Woodward was assigned utility code 213510 by the Commission. The Office of the Prothonotary assigned Woodward the above ''A-docket'' number for this tentative order.

   In its March 3, 1997 letter, East Haines informed the Commission that the Woodward stockholders disbanded Woodward and transferred all its assets to East Haines, an incorporated non-jurisdictional cooperative. These actions were effective as of February 1, 1996.

   To the best of the Commission's knowledge, all jurisdictional service by the Woodward Water Company has been abandoned and is now being provided by the East Haines Township Water Company, Inc. Consequently, absent any contrary responses from concerned parties, this Commission will cancel the operating authority issued to the Woodward Water Company. Therefore,

   It Is Ordered That:

   1.  The operating authority issued to the Woodward Water Company will be deemed abandoned if no response objecting to this action is received by this Commission within 20 days of the publication date of this order in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   2.  A copy of this order shall be served upon the Woodward Water Company at its last known address.

   3.  A copy of this order shall be served upon the East Haines Township Water Company, Inc., P. O. Box 133, Mountain Avenue, Woodward, PA 16882.

   4.  The Secretary shall certify this order and deposit it with the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   5.  If no objection to this order is filed with the Commission within 20 days of the publication date in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, this order shall become final, and the Office of the Prothonotary of the Commission is hereby directed to cancel the operating authority of the Woodward Water Company and mark this file as closed.

JOHN G. ALFORD,   
Secretary
