-

71.0 % 32.6 %

Refund You Will Receive

How this is calculated:
-

Interim Rate 38% increase, final rate 32.6% = ~5.4% refund

- Credit for future service should show up on your bills within 90 days of final order.

We Won the Legislative Fight !

Passage of HB 1600 and SB 567 changed regulation of Investor Owned Utilities like CLWSC. Benefits for ratepayers are:
- Transfer to PUC for regulation and oversight. The transfer takes place on September 1, 2014. - Utilities will have to file testimony with their application for an increase in rates. This should mean getting most of the utilitys cards on the table at the beginning of the case. - There will not be a rate increase until there is a decision made by the Commission in almost all cases.
