Order

WHEREAS the Alberton Sewage Collection and Treatment Corporation (the “Utility”), by application filed on August 27, 2008, applied to the Commission for an increase in its Tariff of wastewater rates and charges;

AND WHEREAS specifically, the Utility requested approval to increase its current rate of $120.00 per unit per year, to $160.00 per unit per year, effective January 1, 2009, and to $190.00 per unit per year, effective January 1, 2010;

AND WHEREAS following receipt of the application, the Commission published a Notice in the local newspaper inviting written comments on the Utility's proposal;

AND WHEREAS the Commission did not receive any written submissions in response to its public Notice;

AND WHEREAS the Commission, following a review of the application and the Utility's financial statements, has concluded that higher costs associated with recent system upgrades have increased the Utility's overall expenditures and result in the need for additional revenue;

AND WHEREAS the Commission considers that annual sewer rates of $160.00 per unit, effective January 1, 2009, and $190.00 per unit, effective January 1, 2010, are necessary and equitable;

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission Act and the Water and Sewerage Act

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1.  the existing Tariff for wastewater services of the Alberton Sewage Collection and Treatment Corporation is revoked and the Tariffs appended to, and forming part of, this Order are substituted therefor; and 

2.  the appended Tariffs are approved and declared effective on January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010 respectively, and shall remain in effect until otherwise ordered by the Commission.

DATED at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, this 6th day of November, 2008.
