Order
WHEREAS by Permit No. UW94/81 approved on December 20, 1994, The Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission ("Commission") authorized the acquisition by the West Royalty Sewer and Water Utility ("West Royalty") of the utility assets of Maple Grove Waterworks Inc. Water Utility, which provides service to residents in the West Haven Crescent area in the Community of West Royalty;
AND WHEREAS the operation of the water system in the West Haven Crescent area has, effective on the date of acquisition, been transferred to West Royalty;
AND WHEREAS by letter dated December 6, 1994, West Royalty seeks the approval of the Commission to retain the 1994 Maple Grove water rates on the grounds that the imminent amalgamation of utilities in the Charlottetown area is expected to alter water rates in West Royalty;
AND UPON it appearing to the Commission that the proposal of West Royalty is not unreasonable or unjustly discriminatory;
NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission Act and the Water and Sewerage Act;
IT IS ORDERED THAT
1. Interim approval is granted to the West Royalty Sewer and Water Utility to implement the following rate for water services provided to customers of the former Maple Grove Waterworks Inc. Water Utility, effective January 1, 1995;
Flat Rates: (No water line to exceed 3/4 inch)
Each customer requiring service: $ 150.00 per annum
2. The above rate is, in the case of water customers of the former Maple Grove Waterworks Inc. Water Utility, in substitution for the interim water rates approved by the Commission under Order UW93-14 for general application in other areas served by the West Royalty Sewer and Water Utility.
DATED at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, this 20th day of December, 1994.
