NOTICE OF UTILITY APPLICATION TO EXPAND SERVICE AREA
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on March 10, 2017, College Utilities Corporation (CUC), filed an application to expand their service area under previously certificated Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) No. 97, authorizing water service in Fairbanks. Docket No. U-17-015 was opened to address this matter.
CUC proposes to provide water service throughout the Chena Marina and Twin Lakes subdivisions west of Fairbanks. The proposed main extension will tie into existing CUC mains in the Broadmoor Subdivision. The main extension must cross under the Chena River via directional drilling. The area has approximately 300 developed lots that currently receive water by private water wells or private storage tanks.
No requests for waiver or petitions for confidentiality were filed with the application. The Commission has not assessed the completeness of the application. The Commission may determine whether the application is complete by March 31, 2017.
A person who proposes to file an application to furnish the same, or substantially the same, service or facility to essentially the same area, in whole or in part, thus creating the potential for mutually exclusive applications, must file a notice of intent to file a competing application by April 17, 2017. The person proposing competing service must then file the competing application by June 16, 2017. If no notice of intent to file a competing application is filed by April 17, 2017, the Commission will proceed to grant or deny the CUC application to amend its certificate in accordance with the applicable provisions of AS 42.05.221 - 42.05.281.
