California-American Water Co. has withdrawn its state Public Utilities Commission request to bill Felton residents
California-American Water Co. has withdrawn its state Public Utilities Commission request to bill Felton residents for the $67,000 awarded to Felton Friends of Locally Owned Water for its work on a previous rate-increase request.
The PUC had granted the amount to FLOW as “intervenor compensation.” FLOW contended that the charge should be spread over the company’s statewide system, covering 50 communities, because the group’s work applied to the entire system.
In a letter of withdrawal, Cal-Am said it was taking its action “in response to commission staff’s concerns over the recovery method and spread of costs to customers.”
The company said it will file a new request “to address these concerns.”
