Mr. Chair, no.

Staff supports the rules written and is available for any questions.

Commissioner Lopez, in my experience, and I didn't help Granite Oaks prepare this application.
podcast-host
As I recall, I've had several conversations with them through the years.
podcast-host
And I'm trying to think, I think I helped a little bit with the last rate case.
podcast-host
With a PPAM type of mechanism, depending on the size of the utility, it can be more trouble than it's worth.
podcast-host
If if the electric bills aren't really that high to manage this type of mechanism is probably more cost than there is benefit achieved from it, but this goes back to the water policy where the Commission wanted the small utilities to have these types of tools available.
podcast-host
So when I talk to small companies, I always say it's better to have the tool in the toolbox and not need it than to need it and not have it.
podcast-host
But we don't disagree with Granite Oaks requesting to not have the PPAM anymore.
podcast-host
sorry, Commissioner Lopez.
podcast-host
Oh, go ahead.
podcast-host
Continue.

podcast-host
If I could add some additional color for the commissioners.
podcast-host
This system actually neighbors Granite Mountain, if you recall that system, the one that drilled the five dry wells.
podcast-host
So I totally agree with if you're close to that system, well-
podcast-host
was probably not a good use of funds.
podcast-host
So a little bit of color there.

For a fourth tier, I think you might see some potential curtailment of usage, adding a fourth tier, sending that additional price signal.
