Notice of Utility Tariff Filing
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that the Municipality of Anchorage d/b/a Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU) filed TA159-126 on behalf of its wastewater operations. With TA159-126, AWWU requests approval of a special contract with Municipal Light and Power (ML&P) (Special Contract). Under the proposed Special Contract, AWWU agrees to provide commercial metered sewer service to ML&P for the George M. Sullivan Power Plants 2 and 2A, and associated buildings (Plants), using a sewer meter which ML&P shall provide. The term of the proposed Special Contract shall begin on the date the Commission approves the Special Contract and remain in effect so long as the Plants continue to discharge wastewater into AWWU’s sewer system.
The proposed Special Contract provides that the initial rates ML&P pays for this service shall be the same per-gallon rates and other charges (including but not limited to the customer charge and all user charges) as are applicable to low strength metered commercial sewer customers of AWWU on Schedule 4 of Rule 13.4 of the AWWU Wastewater Tariff. However, within five years of the Special Contract’s effective date, after adequate historical cost and usage data specific to the Plants are collected, AWWU shall determine, and file for Commission approval, new cost-based rates for the commercial metered sewer service provided under the Special Contract.
This notice does not contain every pertinent contract provision or request associated with this filing. The Commission may approve a rate or classification which varies from that proposed.
