When applying the ratepayer indifference standard and weighing the above public interests, we realize that the rate impact of this Proposed Acquisition cannot be eliminated. But those ratepayer impacts are one of several factors that form the public interest. On balance, we find that: (1) the Proposed Acquisition meets the ratepayer indifference standard; (2) the public interest benefits of the Proposed Acquisition are compelling; and (3) the Proposed Acquisition promotes the legislatively declared post-transaction public interest objectives. As indicated above, from a public interest perspective the Proposed Acquisition is a win-win for current San Gabriel customers and current Montebello water customers. We are convinced that San Gabriel has met its burden of proving that the Proposed Acquisition is in the public interest and that the Proposed Acquisition will not harm or otherwise adversely impact the ratepayers.

5.3. Acquisition Price Constitutes
Fair Market Value
As discussed below, the purchase price of $15,857,000 for Montebello’s water system assets constitutes fair market value.

In pertinent part, Section 2720 reads as follows:
(a) The commission shall use the standard of fair market value when establishing the rate base value for the
distribution system of a public water system acquired by a water corporation. This standard shall be used for
ratesetting.
(b) If the fair market value exceeds reproduction cost, . . . the commission may include the difference in the rate base for ratesetting purposes if it finds that the additional amounts are fair and reasonable.

Here, we find that Section 2720 subsection (a) applies to the Proposed Acquisition; subsection (b) would only apply if fair market value exceeds

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 22 -
reproduction cost. Although the Reconstruction Cost New Less Depreciation (RCNLD) Analysis dated April 22, 2019, shows an estimated RCNLD value of $15,856,768, the difference between fair market value and the estimated RCNLD is nominal.45 Thus, we conclude that fair market value does not exceed reproduction cost.

Section 2720(a)(2) provides that for the purposes of this section, “fair market value” of the acquired water system shall have the same meaning as set forth in Code of Civ. Proc. Section 1263.320, which provides two valuation approaches:
(a) The fair market value of the property taken is the highest price on the date of valuation that would be agreed to by a seller, being willing to sell but under no particular or urgent necessity for so doing, nor obliged to sell, and a buyer, being ready, willing, and able to buy but under no particular necessity for so doing, each dealing with the other with full knowledge of all the uses and purposes for which the property is reasonably adaptable and available. (b) The fair market value of property taken for which there is no relevant, comparable market is its value on the date of valuation as determined by any method of valuation that is just and equitable.

As to these two valuations approaches, San Gabriel argues in favor of subdivision (a), while Cal Advocates argues for subdivision (b). Below, we first discuss why subdivision (b) is inapplicable; therefore, we then conclude that subdivision (a) applies.

Cal Advocates points to the Legislative Committee Comments, which state that subdivision (b) was “added to the definition because there may be no relevant market for some types of special purpose properties such as schools,

45 $15,857,000 - $15,856,768 = $232.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 23 -
churches, cemeteries, parks, utilities, and similar properties.”46 The Commission, however, has already considered the “no relevant market” argument.47 In some situations and for certain types of special purpose properties, there may be no relevant market; but this does not mean that these special purpose properties will always lack a relevant, comparable market. Today, we reiterate:

Nothing in Code of [Civ. Proc. S]ection 1263.320 states that utilities are so unique that they can only be valued using subdivision (b). Rather it indicates only that in some situations there may be no relevant market. In addition, contrary to Cal Advocates’ claims, there is no requirement that an
applicant demonstrate a comparable market for the
Commission to use the subdivision (a) method to determine the fair market value.48 (Emphasis in original.)
In some situations, if there is no relevant market, we would apply Code of Civ. Proc. Section 1263.320(b) in those situations. However, for the reasons discussed below, we agree that subdivision (b) does not apply to the facts in this case. Instead, as discussed below, we agree that subdivision (a) applies.

Next, we discuss why the valuation from Code of Civ. Proc.

Section 1263.320(a) is applicable. The purchase price was the result of arms’ length negotiations between a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller.49 To begin the sale process, Montebello issued two requests for proposals in 2016, and San Gabriel and others submitted competing proposals.50 In April 2019,

46 Code of Civ. Proc. § 1263.320 (Legislative Committee Comments – Senate). 47 D.21-01-023 at 7.
48 Ibid.
49 Cal Advocates also argues that because customers of a utility buyer ultimately end up paying the purchase price of an acquired water system (through rate base), a “utility buyer is thus not a ‘willing buyer’ as used in Code of Civ. Proc. § 1263.320(a), but can more aptly be described as a ‘willing lender.’” This creative argument lacks merit.

- 24 -
Montebello asked parties to revise their previous proposals, San Gabriel was among those that did so, Montebello accepted one of the options proposed by San Gabriel, and they then negotiated the terms of the Purchase Agreement at arms’ length.51
Here, the evidence includes a purchase price of $15,857,00052 supported by a RCNLD Analysis dated April 22, 2019, showing a RCNLD value of $15,856,768.53 Cal Advocates did not provide its own RCNLD report. Hence, we are not dealing with a situation involving two competing RCNLD analyses.54 There is only one RCNLD study in evidence.

In addition, as to the recommended Capital Improvement Plan, we credit the testimony of witness DiPrimio, who explained that San Gabriel developed its Capital Improvement Plan based on its seven years of operating Montebello’s water system and the economies of scale that can be achieved by integrating Montebello’s smaller water system with San Gabriel’s larger one.55 Thus, we conclude that $15,857,000 generally represents the fair market value of the water system assets.

52 Attachment 1 to the Application.
53 Attachment 13 to the Application.
54 Rather than provide its own RCNLD analysis, Cal Advocates argues that “the proposed purchase price is excessive in light of the needed repairs” to Montebello’s water system assets. (Cal Advocates Opening Brief at 1.) Cal Advocates focuses on the overall repair estimates if Montebello were to continue to operate the Montebello water system on a stand-alone basis. For San Gabriel, however, the repair costs will be less than what was proposed in the Stetson Report because of economies of scale, full system-wide integration, and San Gabriel’s experience operating Montebello’s water system.

5.4. Acquisition Price and
Ratemaking Treatment
The $15,857,000 fair market value of the water system assets is the starting point for purposes of ratesetting. While the Commission “shall use the standard of fair market value when establishing the rate base value . . . ,” per Section 2720(a), the plain meaning of this statute indicates that the Commission plays an active role and has discretion when establishing the rate base value. The phrase “when establishing” describes an action and a process. Nothing in the statute suggests that the Commission serves in a ministerial capacity, that the statute strips the Commission of its discretion, and that the Commission must accept the fair market value as likewise constituting the rate base value.

To strip away the Commission’s discretion would serve to delegate the Commission’s duty to evaluate whether a proposed transaction is in the public interest per Section 854, or whether rates are just and reasonable per Section 451, delegating these important public duties to contracting parties. Delegating these or other public duties to contracting parties would impair the Commission’s exercise of its essential government function. That was not the intent of Section 2720(a). Thus, during the active process of establishing the rate base value, the Commission shall use the standard of fair market value as the starting point or main factor, but nothing in the statute limits the Commission to unconditionally accept fair market value as the only factor.

As discussed below, in exercising our discretion and in considering other factors, we arrive at the authorized rate base amount by deducting $206,203 (for fully depreciated assets), $203,441 (for the Veteran’s Tract pipelines), and $80,000 (for the Bluff Road Well that has ceased to be used and useful) from the fair market value amount.

5.4.1. Updating Asset Ages to 2022
Cal Advocates requests that the Commission “update” San Gabriel’s RCNLD Analysis dated April 22, 2019, to increase depreciation accruals from the 2019 analysis to 2022. This proposed depreciation “update” fails to reflect increases in construction and materials costs and general inflation over that same period. We cannot update a valuation piecemeal by focusing only on one factor (depreciation) and ignoring all other factors, such as increases in construction and materials costs and general inflation.

Moreover, Code of Civ. Proc. Section 1263.320 focuses on “the date of valuation.” In general, there are often delays between the valuation date and the closing date, between the valuation date and the Commission decision, etc.

However, in the absence of a new analysis with a 2022 date of valuation, we are not inclined to update the 2019 valuation of the Montebello water system assets simply by updating the depreciation of certain assets.

5.4.2. Disallowing Additional Service
Lives for Fully Depreciated Assets
San Gabriel witness DiPrimio testified that the RCNLD Analysis “assumes a remaining useful life of one to three years for assets that have remained in service longer than the average lives of assets in that group.”56 The RCNLD Analysis lists 12 assets that met or exceeded their useful life.57 As per the RCNLD Analysis dated April 22, 2019, all of these fully depreciated assets were accorded a value of three percent across the board — regardless of installation year — for a combined total value of $206,203 for assets that remained in service longer than

56 Id. at 33.
57 One of these assets met its 50-year useful life in 2018, two assets exceeded their useful lives by two years, one asset by three years, one asset by seven years, two assets by eight years, and five assets by 13 years. (Attachment 13 to the Application.)

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 27 -
the average lives of assets in that group.58 The RCNLD Analysis “assumes a remaining useful life of 1 to 3 years . . .”59 This assumption is pure speculation — not evidence. Moreover, assumptions and speculation do nothing to help applicants meet their burden of proof.

Even if San Gabriel can continue to use certain fully depreciated assets to provide service, we agree with Cal Advocates that those assets still had adequate time to be paid off by Montebello’s ratepayers, and that there is no reason why San Gabriel’s L.A. Division customers should pay for those assets again as part of the purchase price.60 San Gabriel suggests that these assets may not have been paid for,61 but, if so, that would be applicants’ burden to prove. The evidence failed to establish that these assets have not been depreciated as would be typical under basic ratemaking principles.62 Therefore, San Gabriel did not prove that it is entitled to additional depreciation or a different depreciation schedule.

Based on the evidence, we conclude that it is neither just nor reasonable to include in rate base the value of $206,203 for these 12 assets that were listed as fully depreciated in the RCNLD Analysis dated April 22, 2019.

5.4.3. Veteran’s Tract
The eight pipelines in the Veteran’s Tract of homes in Montebello’s North System are in poor condition and have been recommended for replacement.63

58 Attachment 13 to the Application. Specifically, these 12 assets were valued as follows:
$30,324 + $32,408 + $1,881 + $18,112 + $5,831 + $4,010 + $31,682 + $140 + $57,283 + $11,021 + $12,371 + $1,140 = $206,203. (Note: The four italicized amounts are also included below in Section 5.4.3. of this decision.)

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3

The Stetson Report states that “San Gabriel operators indicate there are many maintenance issues associated with pipelines within the Veteran’s Tract due to age.”64 The report explains that the Veteran’s Tract four to six-inch cast iron pipelines are primarily located on easements within backyards and are therefore “hard to access and difficult to serve.”65 In addition, the Stetson Report also recommended relocating the associated service laterals and meters.66 San Gabriel agrees that these eight Veteran’s Tract pipelines must be replaced.67 A majority of homes in the Veteran’s Tract area were constructed between 1947 and 1957.68 As to the Veteran’s Tract pipelines, the Stetson Report states that “the ages of these pipelines are unknown.”69 One of San Gabriel’s witnesses testified that the RCNLD Analysis estimated that the Veteran’s Tract pipelines were installed in 1955, but that it is unknown when the pipelines were actually placed in service.70
Despite these estimates and unknowns, the RCNLD Analysis assigns more than $286,166 in value to these eight Veteran’s Tract assets.71 Cal Advocates argues that if the Veteran’s Tract pipelines were actually installed closer to 1947, this would mean they had already surpassed their service life when San Gabriel

71 Attachment 13 to the Application. Specifically, these eight pipeline assets were valued as follows: $28,274 + $6,120 + $30,324 + $32,408 + $1,881 + $18,112 + $157,302 + $11,745 = $286,166. (Note: The four italicized amounts were also included above in Section 5.4.2. of this decision.)

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3

conducted its initial RCNLD Analysis in 2019.72 Even under the assumed 1955 installation date, four of these pipelines already surpassed their service life.

We discussed four of the eight pipelines in Section 5.4.2. above. For purposes of clarification, the four Veteran’s Tract pipelines that were fully depreciated were allocated a combined value of $82,725 in the RCNLD Analysis.73 Therefore, the other remaining four Veteran’s Tract pipelines are valued in the RCNLD Analysis at $203,441.74
Cal Advocates also argues that it is unreasonable to force ratepayers to pay for old pipes that have repeatedly been recommended for replacement, only to then have ratepayers pay for new pipes to replace those same pipelines; this calls into question how these assets can be worth $286,166, when all parties agree the assets need to be replaced at an estimated replacement cost of $4.4 million.75 We agree; this is unreasonable.

Based on (1) the poor condition of the four remaining pipelines at issue; (2) the Stetson Report recommendation that the Veteran’s Tract pipelines be replaced; and (3) the other relevant evidence in the record, we conclude that it is neither just nor reasonable to include in rate base the value of $203,441 for these four Veteran’s Tract pipelines.

5.4.4. Bluff Road Well
The Bluff Road Well, which is part of Montebello’s Southern Water System Facilities, was installed in 1972, was listed in the RCNLD Analysis at 46 age years

72 Cal Advocates Opening Brief at 11.
73 $30,324 + $32,408 + $1,881 + $18,112 = $82,725.
74 $286,166 - $82,725 = $203,441. Alternatively, $28,274 + $6,120 + $157,302 + $11,745 = $203,441. 75 Cal Advocates Opening Brief at 12.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3

with four remaining life years, and was valued at $80,000.76 The Bluff Road Well is currently offline.77 Based on the evidence in the record, it is apparent that the Bluff Road Well is neither used nor useful at the present time.

It is a fundamental principle of ratemaking that assets must be physically used and useful to ratepayers — i.e., must be in use and providing service — in order to be included within rate base. “Over the years, this Commission has closely adhered to the ‘used and useful’ principle, which requires that utility property be actually in use and providing service in order to be included in the utility’s rate base.”78 Removing the value of the Bluff Road Well, which has ceased to be used and useful, from rate base is essential to ensuring that utility customers are not paying for capital investments that are not providing service to customers.79
Thus, we conclude that it is neither just nor reasonable to include in rate base the value of $80,000 for the Bluff Road Well.

5.5. Ratemaking Treatment of Lease
of Montebello’s Water Rights
The Application does not expressly identify the ratemaking issue concerning the annual cost that San Gabriel will incur upon leasing Montebello’s water rights as part of the Proposed Acquisition.80 Lease of Montebello’s water rights is not one of the six scoped issues set forth in the Scoping Ruling.

76 Attachment 13 to the Application.
77 Ex. Cal Advocates-3 (Excerpt from Data Request Response AA9-002) at 2. 78 D.84-09-080 and D.11-05-018 at 49; see also §§ 701.10, 455.5. 79 If, at some future time, the Bluff Road Well becomes used and useful, such asset can be returned to the rate base as part of San Gabriel’s GRC. 80 Joint Applicants Reply Brief at 21-22.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 31 -
Cal Advocates urges the Commission not to assess the reasonableness of the water rights lease in this proceeding, but rather to review the reasonableness of these expenses in San Gabriel’s future GRCs.81 We agree. Thus, per the Application and Scoping Ruling, we conclude that the question of whether to include the ratemaking treatment of the lease of Montebello’s water rights is not an issue before the Commission.82

5.6. The Proposed Increased Rates
To Be Charged to the Ratepayers
Are Just and Reasonable
We acknowledge that transactions authorized under the Consolidation Act, like this one, may lead to rate increases, but such transactions also likely lead to other important ratepayer benefits envisioned by the Consolidation Act. “Applying Section 2720 places a cost on ratepayers: that of supporting a rate base higher than it would otherwise be because it is set at fair market value.”83 That is by design because “[p]roviding water corporations with an incentive to achieve these scale economies will provide benefits to ratepayers,” as stated in Section 2719(d). Other legislatively imputed public interests, set forth in statute and discussed in this decision, also support these added costs.

The existing framework stemming from D.99-10-064 (Framework Decision) does not analyze the rate impact of an acquisition on existing customers of the acquiring utilities, as it only discusses rates for customers of the utility being

81 Cal Advocates Opening Brief at 20-21
82 There is another reason to wait until San Gabriel’s future GRCs to address the issue surrounding the lease of water rights. The Commission recently issued an Order Instituting Rulemaking “to develop an updated framework that will provide guidelines for the Commission’s review of acquisitions involving Commission-regulated water utilities.” (Rulemaking (R.) 22-04-003 at Ordering Paragraph 2.) One of the issues addressed as part of R.22-04-003 is how water rights should be considered in water utility system acquisitions. 83 D.01-09-057 at 28.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 32 -
acquired.84 From a universal public interest perspective, however, we are interested in the rate impacts of the Proposed Acquisition on all customers.

As discussed in Section 4.2.3. of this decision, we understand the Proposed Acquisition will result in rate increases for Montebello and San Gabriel customers. On balance, however, those rate increases are better than the alternatives. The Proposed Acquisition will also result in cost-savings because of the expenses avoided, the low-income rate assistance program, the economies of scale, etc. Thus, we find that the proposed rate increases are just and reasonable.

However, because the proposed rates in the Application are based, in part, on the use of the $15,857,000 purchase price in the new rate base, San Gabriel shall adjust the proposed rates based on our authorization to include $15,367,356 — not the $15,857,000 purchase price — in rate base.

5.7. San Gabriel is Financially Qualified to
Acquire Montebello’s Water System Assets
In acquisitions, mergers, and transfers of control, Sections 851-854 require that a transferee meet certain financial requirements. San Gabriel is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, and it has been in existence for well over 70 years.85 With its Application, San Gabriel included a balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, together with an income statement covering the twelve months ending June 30, 2020, showing net income of $27,967,000.86 Cal Advocates does not challenge San Gabriel’s financial qualifications to acquire Montebello’s water system assets. There is no evidence presented that raises concerns regarding San Gabriel’s financial qualifications to

85 Application at 31.
86 Attachment 16 to the Application.

acquire Montebello’s water system assets. As such, we find that San Gabriel met its burden of proving that it is financially qualified to acquire Montebello’s water system assets.

5.8. San Gabriel is Qualified to
Operate the Montebello Water Service
In acquisitions, mergers, and transfers of control, Sections 851-854 also require that a transferee be qualified to operate the acquired utility. Since 2013, San Gabriel’s L.A. County division employees have operated the Montebello water system per an operating agreement in compliance with D.10-10-019.87 Cal Advocates does not challenge San Gabriel’s qualifications to operate Montebello’s water system assets. There is no evidence presented that raises concerns regarding San Gabriel’s qualifications to operate Montebello’s water system assets. Thus, we find that San Gabriel met its burden of proving that it is qualified to operate Montebello’s water system assets.

6. Environmental and Safety Matters

6.1. California Environmental Quality Act
Review Is Not Required for This Transaction
Rule 2.4 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (Rules) requires applications to address the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended and codified in Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq., to the proposed project or transaction that is the subject of the application.88 The Proposed Acquisition that is the subject of this Application is not within the applicability of CEQA because it does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of CEQA. Projects under CEQA are those specifically

87 Application at 9.
88 On July 16, 2018, the Montebello Board of Supervisors approved a Categorical Exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act. (Application at 2.)

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 34 -
defined as any “activity which may cause either a direct physical change [to] the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.”89
This Application seeks Commission approval of San Gabriel’s acquisition of Montebello’s water system assets. The Commission has consistently held such a transfer of control and operation of existing water system facilities does not result in any changes to the environment, and thus, an application seeking authorization for such a transaction is not subject to CEQA.90 Because no “direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” will occur, the Proposed Acquisition is not subject to the provisions of CEQA.

6.2. The Proposed Acquisition Aligns With
the Commission’s Environmental and
Social Justice (ESJ) Action Plan
In February 2019, the Commission adopted its ESJ Action Plan as a comprehensive strategy and framework for addressing ESJ issues in each proceeding.91 The community served by Montebello’s water service is considered by the Department of Water Resources to be a Disadvantaged Community.

The Commission’s ESJ Action Plan identifies existing inequities and proposes actions for how the Commission can use its regulatory authority to address health and safety, consumer protection, program benefits, and enforcement to encompass all the industries it regulates, including energy, water,

89 See California Public Resources Code § 21065.
90 See D.13-01-033 and D.11-03-016.

and communications programs. Goal 3 of the Commission’s ESJ Action Plan is to improve access to high-quality water, communications, and transportation services for ESJ communities.92 For water utilities, objectives for this goal include (1) consolidating small water systems; and (2) expanding low-income programs.93
With respect to the first objective, the Commission’s ESJ Action Plan recognizes that consolidation is an important tool to ensure safe and reliable water. The Commission has previously recognized that:

Smaller water companies often do not have the resources or expertise to operate in full compliance with increasingly stringent and complex water quality regulations. Many water companies are too small to be viable in the long-term, raising questions as to whether they will be able to continue to provide clean and reliable water in the future.94
San Gabriel will bring economies of scale, internal expertise, access to resources, and greater knowledge and experience.95 These will help maintain the highest standards of water quality and improve infrastructure development.96 San Gabriel’s size, financial strength, and the breadth of expertise of its employees, allow it to implement strong conservation programs and setting rates that balance investment, conservation, and affordability.97 In addition, San Gabriel can spread costs to operate, maintain, and invest over a much larger

customer base.98 San Gabriel’s resources will be used to improve the water quality and level of customer service in Montebello.99
With respect to the second objective, San Gabriel has a well-established low-income support program to help customers with their monthly bills.100 Qualifying low-income customers would experience a decrease in their monthly bills of $10.48, or 15.4 percent.101 Small water systems like Montebello’s do not have a sufficient customer base to support such a program.

As discussed in Section 5.2.3. of this decision, there is a public interest benefit for San Gabriel to acquire Montebello’s water system assets and leverage their customer service, operations experience, and resources to improve the water system’s reliability, to improve compliance with health and safety regulations, and to achieve economies of scale that are not possible for a water system of Montebello’s relatively small size. Therefore, we conclude that approval of this Application will help promote and further the Commission’s ESJ Action Plan goals.

6.3. Safety
Prior to approving this Application, the Commission must ensure that there are no safety issues or concerns. The Proposed Acquisition will allow San Gabriel to improve the water quality and reliability of Montebello’s water

service.102 San Gabriel will also address all outstanding repairs, improvements, and compliance issues that are present with Montebello’s water system assets.103 We find that the acquisition promotes safety by helping to ensure that Montebello water service customers have long-term access to safe and reliable water. There are no additional safety issues that need to be addressed in this Application.

7. Conclusion
San Gabriel’s request to purchase Montebello’s water system assets is approved. The $15,857,000 purchase price represents the fair market value of the water system assets. As discussed in this decision, of the $15,857,000 purchase price, only the amount of $15,367,356 is authorized to be included in rate base.

To calculate the rate base, we started with the fair market value of $15,857,000 and deducted $206,203 (for fully depreciated assets), $203,441 (for the Veteran’s Tract pipelines), and $80,000 (for the Bluff Road Well that ceased to be used and useful).

8. Comments on Proposed Decision
The proposed decision of ALJ Rosas in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Pub. Util. Code Section 311 and comments were allowed under Rule 14.3. On November 8, 2022, San Gabriel and Montebello filed joint opening comments, and Cal Advocates filed opening comments. On November 14, 2022, San Gabriel and Montebello filed joint reply comments, and Cal Advocates filed reply comments. We considered the comments and made appropriate modifications.

Findings of Fact

1. San Gabriel filed Application 20-10-004 seeking authorization to purchase Montebello’s water system assets and related approvals (Proposed Acquisition).

2. The Proposed Acquisition is subject to Sections 851-854, requiring the Applicant to seek Commission approval regarding the transfer of utility property.

3. The Proposed Acquisition is subject to the Consolidation Act, codified as Sections 2718 - 2720, requiring San Gabriel to seek Commission assessment of the fair market value of the acquisition assets.

4. In weighing the public interest considerations, we follow the large body of Commission decisions and apply the ratepayer indifference standard, where no harm or adverse impact to the ratepayer is identified.

5. Montebello issued two requests for proposals in 2016, and San Gabriel and others submitted competing proposals; in April 2019, Montebello asked parties to revise their previous proposals. San Gabriel was among those that did so; Montebello accepted one of the options proposed by San Gabriel; and they then negotiated the terms of a purchase agreement.

6. San Gabriel and Montebello entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Water System Assets and Lease of Water Rights dated September 29, 2020, whereby San Gabriel would purchase Montebello’s water system assets for $15,857,000.

7. The purchase price of $15,857,000 was the result of arms’ length negotiations between a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller.

8. The fair market value of Montebello’s water system assets is $15,857,000.

This same amount represents the estimated value of water system assets per the RCNLD Analysis dated April 22, 2019.

9. San Gabriel holds a CPCN (U337W), which establishes San Gabriel’s right to serve most of the northern part of Montebello, including approximately 1,600 of San Gabriel’s own L.A. County division customers.

10. Approximately 650, or 39 percent of Montebello’s 1,650 municipal water system customers who are the subject of the Proposed Acquisition are located within San Gabriel’s CPCN area.

11. Montebello is a high-risk local government agency; and Montebello’s water system has been operating at a significant deficit since at least 2007, due in large part to increased costs of imported water, operations, maintenance, and necessary capital improvements.

12. The Montebello City Council adopted Resolution No. 20-68 on August 26, 2020, which made the findings required under Gov. Code Section 37420.5, as modified by AB 850.

13. Since 2013, San Gabriel’s L.A. County division employees have operated Montebello’s water system under an operating agreement between San Gabriel and Montebello.

14. Montebello is faced with the need to replace or upgrade the public water system infrastructure to meet increasingly stringent state and federal safe drinking water laws and regulations governing fire flow standards for public fire protection.

15. Increased amounts of capital for Montebello’s water system are required to finance the necessary investment in public water system infrastructure.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 40 -

16. Montebello’s water system, with its small customer base and no prospects for significant customer growth, will not be able to provide safe and reliable water service going forward at costs Montebello’s residents will be able to reasonably afford.

17. The RCNLD Analysis lists 12 assets that met or exceeded their useful life; one of these assets met its 50-year useful life in 2018; two assets exceeded their useful lives by two years; one asset by three years; one asset by seven years; two assets by eight years; and five assets by 13 years.

18. The eight pipelines in the Veteran’s Tract of homes in Montebello’s North System are in poor condition and require replacement; and four of the Veteran’s Tract pipelines met or exceeded their useful life.

19. The Bluff Road Well was installed in 1972 as part of Montebello’s Southern Water System Facilities; and at the moment, this well is not used or useful.

20. Upon consolidation of Montebello’s water system with San Gabriel’s L.A.

County division, customers now served by Montebello’s water system and who qualify for San Gabriel’s low-income rate assistance program, will experience a decrease in their monthly bills.

21. Upon consolidation of Montebello’s water system with San Gabriel’s L.A.

County division, Montebello water service customers will have access to conservation programs offered by San Gabriel, including conservation kits, K-12 education, gardening workshops, irrigation controller and nozzle retrofit programs, high-efficiency toilet distribution programs, commercial and industrial water audits, and recycled water retrofits.

22. Montebello water service customers are currently billed bi-monthly; but after the Proposed Acquisition, these customers will be billed monthly.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 41 -

23. San Gabriel is financially qualified to acquire Montebello’s water system assets.

24. Due to its size, fiscal backing, familiarity, and sophistication, San Gabriel is in a superior position to use economies of scale, resources, and knowledge to better service the water needs of Montebello customers; therefore, the Proposed Acquisition complies with Section 2718 et seq.

25. San Gabriel is qualified to operate Montebello’s water system.

26. The Proposed Acquisition will maintain or improve the financial condition and management of the utility, will improve the quality of service to the utility’s ratepayers, and will be generally beneficial to the community served by the public utility.

27. The Proposed Acquisition promotes safety by helping to ensure that Montebello water service customers have long term access to safe and reliable water.

28. To calculate the rate base, we deducted $206,203 (for fully depreciated assets), $203,441 (for the Veteran’s Tract pipelines), and $80,000 (for the Bluff Road Well that ceased to be used and useful) from the fair market value amount of $15,857,000.

29. There are no safety issues that need to be addressed in the Application.

30. The Proposed Acquisition will not cause direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

31. Approval of this Application will help promote and further the Commission’s ESJ Action Plan goals.

32. Code of Civ. Proc. Section 1263.320(a) defines fair market value as the highest price agreed upon by a willing buyer and willing seller.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3
- 42 -

33. The appropriate evidentiary standard in a ratesetting matter is preponderance of the evidence.

Conclusions of Law

1. The Application 20-10-004 should be approved.

2. San Gabriel should be authorized to purchase Montebello’s water system assets and be granted related approvals as discussed in this decision.

3. The Application and the Proposed Acquisition comply with Sections 851-854.

4. The Proposed Acquisition complies with Gov. Code Section 37420.5, as modified by AB 850.

5. San Gabriel’s acquisition of Montebello is in the public interest.

6. The proposed acquisition purchase price of $15,857,000 is the fair market value of the acquisition assets.

7. For purposes of calculating the rate base, it is reasonable to deduct $206,203 (for fully depreciated assets), $203,441 (for the Veteran’s Tract pipelines), and $80,000 (for the Bluff Road Well that ceased to be used and useful) from the fair market value amount of $15,857,000 to arrive at rate base amount of $15,367,356.

8. San Gabriel should be authorized to include $15,367,356 in rate base for the acquired system into the L.A. division for ratemaking purposes.

9. It is just and reasonable for San Gabriel to charge customers of Montebello’s water system the rates and charges for water utility service that are currently in effect for all L.A. County division customers at the time of closing of the Proposed Acquisition.

10. No CEQA review is required for our approval of the Proposed Acquisition.

A.20-10-004 ALJ/ABT/nd3

11. The Proposed Acquisition aligns with the goals set forth in the Commission’s ESJ Action Plan.
