NOTICE OF FILING PETITION TO CREATE A REGULATORY ASSET
FOR PRV REBATE PROGRAM COSTS
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on August 18, 2017, the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) d/b/a Anchorage Water and Wastewater Utility (AWWU), on behalf of Anchorage Water Utility (AWU) filed a Petition to Create a Regulatory Asset for PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) Rebate Program Costs (Petition). Docket No. U-17-083 was opened to address this matter.
The PRV Rebate Program was a voluntary program offered in 2016 to eligible customers affected by AWWU’s pressure zone modifications in the Anchorage and Eagle River project areas. The rebate was offered to defray cost of purchasing and installing a pressure reducing valve on a customer’s property. The maximum amount of the rebate was limited to $850 for customers located in Anchorage and $700 for customers located in Eagle River. The Commission approved the PRV Rebate Program, filed as
TA158-122, with Letter Order No. L1600337.
With this Petition, AWU proposes to amortize the costs of the PRV Rebate Program, totaling $281,421.73, over a period of ten years, which is the period the asset is expected to provide a benefit to the water system. AWU expects to file a 2016 test year revenue requirement study in the latter part of 2017.
This notice does not address in detail all of the points contained in the filing and the Commission may approve or impose conditions that vary from those proposed.
