2. Intervention

I am in receipt of the April 25, 2003, petitions to intervene of Marcos Pareas and Jeffrey Young. Mr. Pareas is a resident of Dillon Beach and states that he has an interest in the rates charged for that area. He seeks intervention for the purpose of filing opening and reply briefs in this proceeding.

Mr. Young is the owner of Lot 48 of Oceana Marin, Dillon Beach and is currently on the "waiting list" for service from CWS. He also has an interest in the rates charged for that area, and seeks intervention for the purpose of participating in the hearings and filing briefs.

Rule 54 permits intervention if, among other things, a party's contentions are reasonably pertinent to the issues already presented and any right to broaden them unduly is disclaimed.

This general rate case concerns what rates should be set for the Redwood Valley District. Thus, intervenors' concerns are reasonably pertinent to the issues already presented. Neither intervenor seeks to broaden the proceeding or lengthen the schedule from that set forth in the scoping memo. Therefore, I grant the petition of Mr. Pareas for the purpose of participating in the briefing and that of Mr. Young for the purpose of participating in the hearings (by means of cross examination, because the date for him to serve testimony has passed) and in the briefing.

Therefore, IT IS RULED that:

1. California Water Service Company shall serve supplemental testimony by May 15, 2003 as set forth in Section 1 of this ruling.

2. Marcos Pareas' April 25, 2003 petition to intervene is granted for the purpose of Mr. Pareas participating in the briefing of this proceeding. Jeffrey Young's April 25, 2003 petition to intervene is granted for the purposes of participating in the hearings (by means of cross-examination), and in the briefing of this proceeding.

3. The Process Office shall add the following persons to the service list as interested parties:
