5. Service List

The possible rule changes to be considered in this rulemaking could affect all Commission-regulated Class A water service utilities and such changes may be of interest to all regulated water and sewer service utilities. Issues related to water quality and supply may be of interest to the Department of Health Services. We will therefore direct that this rulemaking order and its appendices initially be served on all Commission-regulated Class A water and sewer service utilities, the Water Branch of the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA), as well as the Drinking Water Field Operations Branch of the California Department of Health Services.

After initial service, a new proceeding service list will be formed by the Process Office, published on the Commission's Internet site and updated throughout the proceeding. Only Class A water service utilities, DRA, and the Drinking Water Field Operations Branch of the California Department of Health Services will be included automatically on the new service list.

Other interested parties, including other water and sewer system utilities who wish to participate, must request to be added to the new service list by submitting a written request or electronic mail request to the Commission's Process Office, stating their full name, the entity or person they represent, the postal address and telephone number of the person to be served, the proceeding number for this Order Instituting Rulemaking, an e-mail address if they are willing to be served electronically, and their desired service list category (Appearance, State Service, or Information Only). All interested parties must notify the Process Office, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102 or process_office@cpuc.ca.gov, by December 29, 2006. Parties serving documents may rely on the Internet service list published as of the date their documents must be served or parties may obtain a copy of the service list by calling the Process Office at (415) 703-2021.

Parties must serve documents in this proceeding consistent with Rule 1.9 (Service) and 1.10 (Electronic Service). Filings may be made by hard copy with the Docket Office or electronically consistent with Resolution ALJ-188 (Electronic Filing) at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/static/efiling.htm.
