Procedural Considerations

The Commission in Resolution ALJ 176-3142 (November 19, 2004) preliminarily categorized this as a ratesetting proceeding not expected to require hearings. There are no material facts in dispute, and there is no known opposition to granting the relief requested. We conclude that it is not necessary to disturb our preliminary determinations.

This is an uncontested matter which pertains solely to water companies. Accordingly, pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 311(g)(3), the 30-day period for public comment does not apply.
