Sunny Shores Water Co. (Sunny Shores or Utility) is a Class C utility providing water service to approximately 263 customers in Manatee County. Sunny Shores reported revenues of $73,511 in its 2008 Annual Report. The system is located in the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD).
On February 18, 2010, the Utility filed an application for approval of a tariff sheet to reflect the following: implementation of a backflow maintenance program. This recommendation addresses the suspension of Sunny Shores’ proposed tariff sheet. The Commission has jurisdiction pursuant to Section 367.091, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Discussion of Issues
Issue 1:
Should Sunny Shores’ proposed tariff sheet to implement its backflow maintenance program charge be suspended?
Recommendation:
Yes. Sunny Shores’ proposed tariff sheet to implement its backflow maintenance program should be suspended pending further investigation by staff. (Deason)
Staff Analysis:
Pursuant to Section 367.091(6), F.S., the tariff sheet proposed by the Utility shall become effective within sixty (60) days after filing, unless the Commission votes to withhold consent of the request. Further, the Commission may withhold consent to the operation of any or all portions of new rate schedules by a vote to that effect within 60 days, giving a reason or statement of good cause for withholding that consent.
Staff has reviewed the filing and has considered Sunny Shores’ proposed charges and information filed in support of the application. Staff believes it is necessary to require amplification and explanation of this data. Staff’s review of the application will include further examination. Therefore, staff recommends that Sunny Shores’ proposed tariff sheet to implement its backflow maintenance program be suspended pending further investigation by staff.
