ORDER DENYING APPLICATION FOR REHEARING
OF THE OFFICE OF RATEPAYER ADVOCATES
AND APPLICATION FOR REHEARING AND REQUEST FOR STAY
OF THE MONTARA SANITARY DISTRICT OF DECISION 01-09-057
I. SUMMARY
On September 24, 2001, Decision (D.) 01-09-057 which we issued on September 20, 2001, was mailed. The decision became immediately effective upon its issuance.1 On October 4, 2001, the Commission's Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA) and the Montara Sanitary District (MSD), both parties in the underlying proceeding, timely filed applications for rehearing of D.01-09-057. MSD also filed a request for stay of that portion of D. 01-09-057 that pertains to the Montara District. 2 Responses to the MSD and ORA applications were filed by Citizens Utilities Company of California (Citizens) on October 9, 2001 and by California-American Water Company (CalAm) on October 12, 2001. This order disposes of both applications for rehearing of D. 01-09-057, and denies MSD's request for a stay.
1 Pub. Util. Code, § 1731.2 "MSD is a public agency providing sanitary service to the unincorporated communities of Moss Beach and Montara and surrounding communities. In 1992 voters agreed to give the sanitary district the additional powers of a county water district that may do any act necessary to furnish sufficient water for present or future use, including storage and conservation of water, or to appropriate, acquire, and conserve water and water rights for any useful purpose."
