Aqua Utilities Florida, Inc. Docket No. 100330-WS AUF response to Audit Report -No. 10-252-1-1 Audit Finding No. 1: ResDonse: The transfer of the Breeze Hill water and wastewater systems was approved in Order No. PSC- 08-0533-FOF-WS, issued August 18,2008. In this order the <strong>Commission</strong> stated: Pursuant to Section 367.071, F.S., we may set rate base in transfer dockets. Rate base was last set for Breeze Hill at $68,257 and $45,552 for water and wastewater, respectively, as of December 3 1,2001. The 2006 Breeze Hill annual report reflects rate base, excluding working capital, of $55,861 and $41,853 for water and wastewater, respectively. In Order No. PSC-02-11 I4-PAA-WS, issued August 14,2002, the <strong>Commission</strong> established the rate base for Breeze Hill Utility. Specifically the <strong>Commission</strong> stated: Based on the foregoing, we find that the appropriate rate base balance for rate setting purposes is $68,257 for the water system and $45,552 for the wastewater system. This amount included adjustments for non used and useful plant in the wastewater amount, and working capital allowances for both the water and wastewater systems. Please see Schedules Nos. 1-A and 1-B, pages 46 and 47, respectively, in Order No. PSC-02- 11 14-PAA-WS for the amount of plant in service, accumulated depreciation, contributions in aid of construction and amortization of CIAC that was previously approved by the <strong>Commission</strong>. AUF did obtain plant in service and depreciation schedules from the previous owner during the processing of the transfer docket. However, subsequent to the <strong>Commission</strong>'s order approving the transfer, obtaining additional information was difficult. This was primarily due to the previous owner's location in Canada. Numerous attempts were made to obtain any additional documentation. Unfortunately, AUF was informed that the prior owner had died and no further contact was possible. However, AUF has included the journal entry which shows the booking of Breeze Hill's assets on AUF's books and records, as well as the detailed plant listing schedule used to book the rate base for the transfer. See attachments as well as the enclosed CD.
In AUF’s last rate case, a similar situation occurred for its Lake Suzy water and wastewater systems. In the Final Order No. PSC-09-0385-FOF-WS, the <strong>Commission</strong> agreed that, at a minimum, the amounts previously approved by the <strong>Commission</strong> should be allowed in the rate base calculation.
