Section 15273
Reasons for Exemption
Of the portion of the rate that relates to future capital improvements, the majority is necessary to pay for upgrading or correcting deficiencies in the current system and a smaller portion will be used to purchase supply in the existing service area. While the project, if approved for in-fill growth within the water utility service area (Sphere of Influence (SOI)) due to increased availability of water, it will not pay for actual transmission capacity within the SOI, which remains to be built (and paid for). The additional supply will be paid for initially by the existing rate-base, subject to reimbursement from development through connection fees to be enacted later.
