To my recollection, I've not seen it sought after to modify the rates.
podcast-host
It's usually a compliance item or something.
podcast-host
a deadline that needs to be met like we saw in the last agenda item.
podcast-host
Does it mean that a company couldn't seek to modify the rates?
podcast-host
I don't think so.
podcast-host
I think they could ask for whatever they want and then the commission can contemplate that.

To your question, and the chair's question, there is the emergency repair and replacement fund surcharge mechanism that's available to small utilities.
podcast-host
It's usually a per customer per month charge based off meter size.
podcast-host
to the chairman's question about somehow gearing that towards these extreme high users i've not seen it but i think we could probably come up with some type of mechanism based off usage the difficulty would be usage can change on a month-to-month basis so how would we establish that would it be on an average annual usage and then tiered that way but i think if we
podcast-host
put our minds to it.
podcast-host
We could probably come up with some mechanism that would allow the association to start building that reserve for those future projects.

That's what that mechanism is for.

The curtailment issue that the tariff that the Commission requires the utilities to adopt is really geared towards if the system struggling to meet the demand it's not really intended to curtail high users.
podcast-host
might be a little problematic and discriminatory to try to establish
podcast-host
Commissioner Thompson, you're not wrong.
podcast-host
It's just the way the current curtailment tariff is structured.
podcast-host
And so the commissioners know the engineers just modified those templates.
podcast-host
That's why if you're paying attention to the distribution report, you're seeing a lot of tariff filings.
podcast-host
We sent a mass email asking all the water utilities to update those tariffs.
podcast-host
And it's trying to tie it stronger to the emergency water augmentation, which is tied to the curtailment.
