From staff's perspective, we've got the policy that we have to follow.

It doesn't really address a four tier structure.
podcast-host
but I think it, I know it also talks about gradualism.

So in talking to Granite Oaks, adding a fourth tier now, the next rate case, I think they can seek to increase that fourth tier rate, potentially add a fifth tier if that makes sense to try to send a message to these high usage customers that yes, it is your right to use the water that you want, but you're impacting all of your neighbors by having less available.
podcast-host
So you're going to pay an extreme premium for that.
podcast-host
So thank you for the liberty of adding a little bit of color around

Chairman, I would say, and I would give this for the association food for thought.

If you modify rates today, hearing will have to go back and rerun numbers to make sure everything ties out with the authorized revenue requirement.
podcast-host
I don't know how much of a delay that would cause, but I just revert back to my earlier comments that adding that fourth tier now, I think sends an additional price signal to those customers.
podcast-host
Would a higher rate send a stronger signal?
podcast-host
Yes, for sure.
podcast-host
I would say it's a step in the right direction.
podcast-host
Their last rate case was 2020.
podcast-host
I don't know when they're anticipating filing their next rate case.
podcast-host
I think it's probably going to be triggered by when they move forward with that additional well, and then soon after they'll need to seek recovery of that.
podcast-host
I think that would be a good point to revisit a potential fifth tier or making that fourth tier really send a strong signal, especially if they've got a million dollars or so in expenses tied up in a new well.
podcast-host
Okay.
podcast-host
Thank
podcast-host
Yes.

Commissioner Thompson, for the first question, any company can always seek a 4252 to revisit a prior commission decision.
