Decision DRAFT DECISION OF ALJ WALKER (Mailed 7/18/2001)

BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

Kyle T. Hoffman,

      Complainant,

    vs.

Del Oro Water Company [Donner Lake Water Company],

        Defendant.

Case 01-04-001

(Filed April 2, 2001)

OPINION

1. Summary

Complainant objects to what he characterizes as the incompetent management of Donner Lake Water Company (Donner), and he asks the Commission to approve a 50% reduction in his water bill until the Department of Health Services (DHS) lifts a boil-water order imposed on Donner and its customers. We conclude that the primary relief sought in this complaint - a change in the management of the Donner water system - has recently taken place, and a reduction in the tariffed rates for complainant is precluded by Pub. Util. Code § 453(a). Complainant agrees that if the relief he requests is deemed moot or unattainable in this proceeding, the complaint should be dismissed. The complaint is dismissed.
