The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a public forum to provide an opportunity for customers of San Jose Water Company to give their perspective and input to the CPUC about the utility’s request to increase rates in 2019-2021.
The public forum, called a Public Participation Hearing, will begin with a brief presentation on the proceeding and an overview of San Jose Water Company’s rate request; then public comments will be heard. The CPUC Administrative Law Judge assigned to the case will preside over the public forum. The Administrative Law Judge is scheduled to write a proposed decision in the case for CPUC Commissioner consideration by the end of the year. The CPUC welcomes attendance and participation, as public comments help the CPUC reach an informed decision.
This proceeding is referred to as San Jose Water Company’s General Rate Case (GRC). A GRC is a public proceeding at the CPUC that most utilities go through every three years. GRCs enable the CPUC to set the revenue a utility will collect from its consumers through rates.
In this GRC, San Jose Water Company is asking for CPUC authority to increase rates charged for water service to $34,288,100 (or 9.76 percent) in 2019; $14,231,800 (or 3.70 percent) in 2020; and $20,581,700 (or 5.17 percent) in 2021. San Jose Water Company also seeks CPUC approval for: 1) recovery of $13,612,774 from its balancing account via a 12-month $0.2973/ccf customer surcharge beginning 2019, and 2) recovery of $7,112,350 from its memorandum account via a surcharge of $0.1553/ccf until recovered (one ccf equals 748 gallons). A balancing account tracks the incremental over and under collection of rates, surcharges, and certain expenses (such as purchased water and groundwater extraction charges) for future recovery or refund by the utility. A memorandum account tracks specific expenses assigned for possible future recovery, such as conservation expenses.
