Conn. Agencies Regs. § 16-262o-4 - Application required; filing requirements
(a) Any
acquiring water company which incurs acquisition costs, or which incurs
expenditures for needed improvements, may apply to the Department for approval
of a rate surcharge to customers based on the foregoing policy. The
requirements set out in this section shall apply to proceedings and
applications of acquiring water companies for an increase in rates based upon
such a surcharge.
(b) The
application shall include evidence of compliance with orders concerning needed
improvements issued by the Department in the proceeding in which acquisition of
the acquired water company is ordered by the Department of Public Utility
Control, in consultation with the Department of Health Services; evidence that
acquisition of the acquired water company precipitated the construction of any
needed improvements; and evidence, preferably in the form of an engineering
analysis, that the acquiring water company has selected the least costly
solutions and that efficient and adequate engineering standards have been
applied to the design specifications, except that an engineering analysis shall
not be required to the extent that engineering work related to needed
improvements is approved by the Department in the proceeding in which
acquisition of the acquired water company is ordered.
(c) No application for the actual
implementation of any rate surcharge with respect to expenditures for needed
improvements shall be accepted, and no such surcharge shall be permitted to be
collected, until the primary needed improvements project has been let, started
and is progressing to the point of onsite contractor and crew set-up, and full
construction has begun on major elements of the subject facility.
(d) An application for a surcharge with
respect to acquisition costs may be filed as of the date that the acquisition
has taken place, as determined by the Department in the proceeding in which the
acquisition was ordered.
