5. VTA's Request

VTA requests that ratepayers should fund 37.4% of $14.6 million, or $5.5 million, in water main relocation costs associated with its light rail transit line construction; that amount would be reimbursed to VTA by SJWC. VTA recommends that the costs should be recovered from ratepayers through increased rates determined by the addition of $5.5 million to the rate base adopted by this decision.
