Order
WHEREAS
the Georgetown Sewage
Collection and Treatment Corporation (the "Utility"), by application filed on
February 7, 2011, applied to the Commission for an increase in its Tariff of
sewer rates and charges;
AND WHEREAS the Utility's filing proposes to implement rate increases in phases,
commencing May 1, 2011 and continuing on September 1, 2011; January 1, 2012
and May 1, 2012;
AND WHEREAS
subsequent to submitting its rate filing, the Utility circulated a notice to
sewer customers explaining the reasons for the filing, and held a public
information meeting in the community on March 14, 2011;
AND WHEREAS
following receipt of the application and the Utility's
steps to inform residents, the Commission published a Notice in the local
newspaper inviting written comments on the proposal;
AND WHEREAS
following the April 8th, 2011 deadline for comments, the Commission did not
receive any written submissions in response to the notice;
AND WHEREAS
the Commission has considered the submission of the Utility and supporting operating and
financial data;
AND WHEREAS
the Commission has conducted a thorough analysis of the application, including
the Utility's projected revenue and expenditure requirements;
AND WHEREAS
the Commission has determined that increased costs associated with the ongoing
operation and maintenance of the central wastewater system, combined with
costs related to recent plant upgrades, result in the need for additional
revenue;
AND WHEREAS
it appears to the Commission that the phasing in of sewer rate increases is
fair and reasonable;
AND WHEREAS
it further appears to the Commission that the Tariffs of Rates and Charges approved herein 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 Georgetown Sewage Collection and Treatment
Corporation is revoked and the Tariffs appended to, and
forming part of, this Order, is substituted therefor; and
2. The appended Tariffs are
approved and declared effective on May 1, 2011, September 1, 2011, January
1, 2012 and May 1, 2012, respectively, and shall remain in effect
until otherwise ordered by the Commission.

excessive contamination and require the customer to pay an additional

and grease proportions as set forth below.
SURCHARGE:
