22 J. General Office
i. Primary Cost Increases – The following are the five most significant cost increases in the General Office.
a. Pension and Benefits – The 2022 forecasted Pension and Benefits expense is $4,145,300 higher than the adopted 2020 level. The increase over the adopted level is a result of several factors including GSWC’s request for cost recovery of the short term incentive and the long-term performance compensation as well as an increase in forecasted pension costs.

See the prepared testimony of Brad Powell for a discussion of the Other Maintenance of General Plant expense.
d. Injuries and Damages – The 2022 forecasted General Office Injuries and Damages is $653,100 higher than the adopted 2020 level. The increase is due to a forecasted increase in liability insurance premiums. See the prepared testimony of Matt Currie for a more detailed discussion of the Injuries and Damages expenses.

Page 493 ends

23 e. Miscellaneous – The 2022 forecast of the Miscellaneous expense is $461,200 higher than the adopted 2020 level. Reasons for the increase include a request for miscellaneous expenses above the historical level. See the prepared testimony of Brad Powell for more detail.

3. Special Requests
Amortization and Continuation of Balancing and
Memorandum Accounts
In accordance with Ordering Paragraph No. 3 of D.06-04-037, Class A water utilities:
shall report on the status of their balancing accounts in their general rate cases and shall propose adjustments to their rates in that context to amortize under- or over-collections in those accounts subject to reasonableness review. They also may propose such rate adjustments by advice letter at any time that the under- or over-collection in any such account exceeds two percent.

Therefore, pursuant to Ordering Paragraph No. 3 of D.06-04-037, Golden State is providing the Commission with a report on the status of its authorized memorandum accounts and balancing accounts. A summary of each memorandum and balancing account, including description, current balances (as of 5/31/2020), and proposed actions desired by Golden State (such as amortization, continuation, closure, etc.) can be found in the prepared testimony of Ronald Moore.

Page 494 ends

24 Balancing Account for Group Medical Insurance Costs
The Rate Case Plan (“Plan”) adopted by D.07-05-062 only allows for one test year and two attrition years for expenses. Per the Plan, Pension and Benefits costs in attrition years are to be escalated using the labor inflation factors from the most recent Public Advocates’ memorandum entitled “Estimates of Non-Labor and Wage Escalation Rates” (Escalation Rate Memorandum). The labor inflation factors reflected in the Escalation Rate Memorandum will not allow Golden State to recover the forecasted increase in Group Medical costs for Medical, Dental and Vision insurance that Golden State will incur as a result of current market trends.

Golden State is requesting the establishment of a balancing account for healthcarerelated costs (Medical Costs Balancing Account). The Medical Costs Balancing Account will track the difference between the health care expense (Medical, Dental and Vision insurance) included in the revenue requirement and the actual health care expense Golden State incurs. The Medical Costs Balancing Account will therefore allow Golden State to recover the increased health care expense resulting from current market trends that it would not otherwise be able to recover if it were limited to its current healthcare costs escalated in accordance with the Escalation Rate Memorandum. This request is discussed in the prepared testimony of Matt Currie.

Sales Reconciliation Mechanism
Golden State requests authority to maintain its current Sales Reconciliation Mechanism (SRM), or Sales Adjustment Mechanism (SAM), authorized by the Commission in D.19- 05-044. The SRM allows for adjustments to adopted sales volumes so that they match

Page 495 ends

25 more closely to recorded sales volumes. This request is discussed in the prepared testimony of Jenny Darney-Lane.

Inclusion of Credit Card Payment Option in Rates
Pursuant to California Assembly Bill (AB) 1180, in 2019 Golden State Water began a pilot to include in rates the cost of a credit card payment option for its customers, approved by D.19-05-044. In this application Golden State requests to continue the credit card payment option. AB 1180 requires the Commission to submit to the California Assembly Committee on Utilities and Commerce and the California Senate Committee on Energy, Utilities and Communications a report on the pilot programs operated by water corporations. The report is to include an assessment of the use of credit cards by lowincome customers to avoid service disconnections, an assessment of the impact of the use of credit cards for customer bills on household debt burden, and an assessment of data, considered on an aggregated basis, regarding customer utilization and the costeffectiveness of the bill payment options. The report was originally due by July 1, 2020 but has been deferred until January 11, 2021. Golden State requests that if the Commission’s report supports the credit card payment program, that it be allowed to continue to provide that payment option and include the costs in rates. As required by AB 1180, low-income customers will not fund the cost of the program. The request is discussed in the prepared testimonies of Brad Powell, who addresses the forecasted cost of the program and Hilda Wahhab, who addresses the exclusion of low-income customers from funding the program.

Page 496 ends

26 Rate Treatment of Previously Approved Advice Letter
Projects
In Decision 19-05-044, the Commission authorized GSWC to include in rates, through the advice letter process seven capital projects, including two projects to construct reservoirs in its Region 3. GSWC requests that if either of these two advice letter projects are completed and submitted for approval between the time of the filing of this application and the implementation of the first test year rates approved in this proceeding that the rate base impacts of these capital additions should be incorporated into the final rates approved in this proceeding to ensure that they are reflected in rates in 2022 and beyond.

More information about this request is included in the testimony of Jon Pierotti.

Conversion to Monthly Billing
GSWC requests approval to convert from bi-monthly billing to monthly billing for those customers that are currently billed on a bi-monthly basis. The Customer Service Areas that would be affected in Region 1 are Arden Cordova, Los Osos, Simi Valley, and in Region 3 are Placentia, Los Alamitos, Barstow and San Gabriel. The switch to monthly billing will help customers budget for their water bills more accurately and will give them more immediate feedback on their usage to assist them in conserving water. Changes in forecasted expense levels due to the conversion to monthly billing are addressed in the testimony of Brad Powell. Changes in forecasted working cash due to the conversion are addressed in the testimony of Jon Pierotti.

Page 497 ends

27 Finding on Water Quality
Golden State is in compliance with all water quality regulations and requirements and requests that the Commission make a finding that Golden State’s water quality meets all applicable state and federal drinking water standards and the provisions of General Order 103 based upon the evidence presented in the Testimony of Sunil Pillai.

Liability Insurance Balancing Account
The insurance industry is currently facing a challenging environment. These circumstances have resulted in an industry-wide upsurge in premiums. The Rate Case Plan adopted by D.07-05-062 only allows for one test year and two attrition years for expenses. Per the Plan, liability insurance costs in attrition years are escalated using CPI-U.

The use of CPI-U will not allow Golden State to recover the increase in costs for liability insurance that Golden State will incur as a result of current market trends. Therefore, Golden State is requesting the establishment of a two-way balancing account for liability insurance costs (Liability Insurance Balancing Account). The Liability Insurance Balancing Account will track the difference between the liability insurance expense (third party premium amounts for general liability, excess liability and umbrella policies) included in the revenue requirement and the actual liability insurance expense Golden State incurs. The Liability Insurance Balancing Account will therefore allow Golden State to recover the increased liability insurance expense resulting from current market trends that it would not otherwise be able to recover if it were limited to its current liability

Page 498 ends

28 insurance expense escalated by CPI-U. This request is discussed in the prepared testimony of Brad Powell.
123-TCP Contamination Proceeds
Golden State received settlement proceeds resulting from a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court seeking damages and other relief for TCP readings detected at four of its wells located in the Santa Maria and Region 3 ratemaking areas. This request addresses Golden State’s proposal to dispose of the proceeds in accordance with Commission decisions D.10-10-018 and D.10-12-058. Golden State’s proposal is discussed in detail in the testimony of Keith Switzer.

COVID-19 Memorandum Account
Golden State requests authorization to establish the COVID-19 Memorandum Account.

The purpose of the account would be to track cost increases resulting from changes to its daily operations, and or incremental costs necessary to comply with new regulations, guidelines, directives etc. related to the COVID-19 virus. The request for a COVID-19 Memorandum Account is discussed in the testimony of Jenny Darney-Lane.

Residential Rate Design Change
Golden State requests authorization to change the volume of water usage included in the first and second tiers of the residential tariff in the Santa Maria, Simi Valley, Region 2 and Region 3 ratemaking areas and the second tier in the Bay Point and Los Osos ratemaking

Page 499 ends

29 areas12. The request to change the residential rate design is discussed in the testimony of Hilda Wahhab.

Guidance on Treatment of Proceeds from Water Rights
Transfer
Golden State requests that the Commission provide guidance on the proper treatment of potential future revenues that may be realized in the event of surplus water sales. See the testimony of Keith Switzer for more detail on this Special Request.

Consolidation of Los Osos and Santa Maria for
Ratemaking Purposes
Golden State requests to consolidate the Los Osos and Santa Maria areas for ratemaking purposes. Golden State’s ultimate goal is to implement a single, combined set of rates in the consolidated Los Osos/Santa Maria ratemaking district. Golden State proposes to freeze the rates for the existing Los Osos district for the instant GRC cycle. This request is addressed in the testimony of Keith Switzer.

Presentation of Billing Units on Customer Bills
Golden State requests authority to present water usage volumes on customers’ bills in units of one hundred gallons (CGL). Bill usage is currently presented in one hundred cubic feet (Ccf), a measure of usage that customers are less familiar with. Presenting the

12 If the Commission approves its special request #13 discussed below, Golden State does not intend to make any rate design changes in the Los Osos ratemaking area.

Page 500 ends

30 billed usage in CGL will help customers understand and better manage their usage and by extension, their bills. This request is addressed in the testimony of Hilda Wahhab.

4. Issues of Controversy
Golden State Water Company is not aware at this time of any issue that will cause controversy. However, Golden State is requesting a different outcome from prior Commission decisions of the following issues:
 Decision 04-06-018 (interim order adopting rate case plan (“RCP”)) provides the specifics for setting rates in the third year of a three-year rate cycle with respect to assumptions made for computing rate base and the book-depreciation and incometax components of cost of service. These computational approaches of the interim order were adopted as final in Decision 07-05-062. Specifically, footnote 6 on page 15 of Decision 04-06-018 states, “The attrition allowance methodology provides for rate base additions in year 3 by adding the difference between test year 1 and test year 2 rate base to test year 2 rate base. Depreciation expense is handled in the same way.” Golden State recommends that the Commission grant it permission to deviate from the RCP for setting year-3 rates to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to ensure consistency of those components used to compute year-3 rate base and year-3 cost-of-service that the Internal Revenue Code requires to be consistent in order to satisfy the normalization requirements. Refer to the prepared testimony of Wayne McDonald for further details.

36 SECTION V

CAUSE OF APPLICATION
Applicant estimates that at present rates, its rate of return on rate base will be 4.24% for the Arden Cordova Customer Service Area, 5.94% for the Bay Point Customer Service Area, 4.68% for the Clearlake Customer Service Area, 5.10% for the Los Osos Customer Service Area, 6.23% for the Santa Maria Customer Service Area, 5.42% for the Simi Valley Customer Service Area, 4.83% for the Region 2 Customer Service Areas and

5.05% for the Region 3 Customer Service Areas, based on Test Year 2022 estimates.

These rates of return deviate from the Commission authorized rate of return of 7.91% due to a variety of factors, including (i) changes in sales volumes; and (ii) changes in: (a) rate base, including additional plant investment for infrastructure replacement; (b) operation and maintenance expenses; (c) administrative and general expenses; (d) depreciation; and (e) taxes and insurance, since these costs and figures were last considered by the Commission when setting rates. At rates proposed in this Application, Applicant would earn its latest authorized rate of return on rate base, 7.91%, for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

The expense level estimates in the test years reflect the latest known rates for supply costs, ad valorem taxes, and income taxes.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION

REQUESTING TO INCREASE RATES

ARDEN CORDOVA SERVICE AREA
(APPLICATION NO. 20-XX-0XX)
On July xx, 2020, Golden State Water Company (GSWC) filed what is known as a “General Rate Case” (GRC) application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

GSWC will provide service and water supply for Robbins customers and they will be will be served through the Arden-Cordova Customer Service Area. The acquisition of Robbins, which is reflected in this application, does not increase the rates requested for the existing Arden Cordova customers.

How could this affect my monthly bill?
If the proposed application is approved by the CPUC, the average residential customer with a 5/8 x 3/4” meter using 13 Ccf would see a monthly bill increase of $6.96 (or 18.76%), from $37.10 to $44.06 in 2022.

How does the rest of the process work?
This application will be assigned to a judge, who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process.

The proposed decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners.

GSWC’s Region 3 service areas include all or portions of the cities of Barstow, Lenwood, Town of Apple Valley, Lucerne Valley, Morongo Valley, Wrightwood, Calipatria and the community of Niland, and adjacent territory in Imperial County in the Mountain/Desert District and in Cypress, La Palma, Los Alamitos, Placentia, Seal Beach, Stanton, Yorba Linda, Cowan Heights, Lemon Heights Rossmoor, Claremont, Montclair, Pomona, Upland, San Dimas, Charter Oak, Glendora, Monterey Park, Rosemead, San Gabriel, Arcadia, El Monte, Irwindale, Monrovia and Temple City and adjacent vicinity in the Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino Counties in the Foothill and Orange County Districts.

Why is GSWC requesting this rate increase?
The CPUC requires GSWC to submit a GRC application every three-years. GSWC is requesting authorization to increase revenues in the Region 3 service area by $19,140,900 (or 14.51%) for 2022, $6,911,200 (or 4.56%) in 2023, and $7,126,400 (or 4.48%) in 2024. The total requested increase for all three years combined would be $ 38,392,400 (or 23.55%).

The purpose of this GRC is for GSWC to cover its anticipated costs from 2022 through 2024 for improvements to the water supply system, purchased water, water treatment costs, Federal Income taxes, and cost for centralized corporate support services, such as accounting and human resources.

How could this affect my monthly bill?
If the proposed application is approved by the CPUC, the average residential customer with a 5/8 x 3/4” meter using 12 Ccf would see a monthly bill increase of $9.60 (or 15.23%), from $63.03 to $ 72.63 in 2022. In 2023 the average residential customer would see a monthly bill increase of $3.29 (or 4.53%), from $72.63 to $75.92, and a monthly bill increase of $3.43 (or

4.52%), from $75.92 to $79.35 in 2024, excluding any applicable surcharges.

The Public Advocates Office may review this application. The Public Advocates Office is the independent consumer advocate within the CPUC with a statutory mandate to represent

customers of investor-owned utilities to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with safe and reliable service and the state’s environmental policy goals. For more information, please call (415) 703-1584, e-mail [email protected], or visit publicadvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.
