Order
WHEREAS by Permit No. UW94/11 approved on April 21, 1994, the Island Regulatory and Appeal Commission ("Commission") authorized the acquisition of the Lewis Point Water Utility by the West Royalty Sewer and Water Utility ("West Royalty");
AND WHEREAS the operation of the water system in the Lewis Point subdivision has, effective on the date of acquisition, been transferred to West Royalty;
AND WHEREAS by letter dated April 25, 1994, West Royalty seeks the approval of the Commission to retain the current Lewis Point water rates on the grounds that the imminent amalgamation of utilities in the Charlottetown area is expected to reduce water rates in West Royalty below the level currently authorized for customers of the Lewis Point Water utility;
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 rates for water services provided to customers of the former Lewis Point Water Utility, effective January 1, 1994;
Flat Rates: (No water line to exceed 3/4 inch)
Each customer requiring service in excess of six
months: $ 112.00 per annum
Each customer requiring service for six months
or less: $ 55.00 per annum
2. The above rates are, in the case of water customers of the former Lewis Point 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 13th day of May, 1994.
