Thank you, /s/ROBIN BRYANT Robin Bryant Water Division Enclosures June 9, 2021 Advice Letter No.1855-W (U 133 W) TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Golden State Water Company (GSWC) hereby transmits the following tariff sheets applicable to its Region 2 Customer Service Area (CSA): Canceling CPUC Sheet No Title of Sheet CPUC Sheet No. Revised No. 8928-W Schedule No. ME-1-NR Revised No. 8763-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Non -Residential Metered Service, Page 1 Revised No. 8929-W Schedule No. ME-1-NR Revised No. 8897-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Non -Residential Metered Service, Page 2 Revised No. 8930-W Schedule No. ME-1-R Revised No. 8765-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Residential Metered Service, Page 1 Revised No. 8931-W Schedule No. ME-1-R Revised No. 8898-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Residential Metered Service, Page 2 Revised No. 8932-W Schedule No. ME-3 Revised No. 8767-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Reclaimed Water Service, Page 1 Revised No. 8933-W Schedule No. ME-3 Revised No. 8899-W Metropolitan Customer Service Area Reclaimed Water Service, Page 2 Revised No. 8934-W Table of Contents Revised No. 8913-W Page 2 of 4 Revised No. 8935-W Table of Contents Revised No. 8927-W Page 1 of 4 Advice Letter No.1855-W -2- June 9, 2021 GSWC is seeking authorization from the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) to increase the water rates in its Region 2 CSA by $1,640,996 or 1.12% to offset purveyor rate changes for purchased electricity, purchased water and pump tax costs. Background Purchased Electricity for the Region 2 CSA is obtained from Southern California Edison (SCE) and the City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). SCE increased energy rates effective February 1, 2021. This resulted in an increase in GSWC's annual purchased electricity expense of $617,748 above the amount currently reflected in GSWC's rates. GSWC purchases water from various purveyors within the Region 2 CSA. On January 1, 2021, Central Basin MWD, West Basin MWD, City of South Gate, City of Lakewood, and Suburban Water Systems increased their water rates. This resulted in an increase in GSWC's annual purchased water expense of $574,401. GSWC pays a replenishment assessment to the Water Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) for all water pumped. Effective July 1, 2021, WRD will increase their rates for pump taxes. This will result in an increase in GSWC's annual pump tax expense of $422,237 above the amount currently reflected in GSWC's rates. Revenues to cover the supply expense rate changes would also increase the uncollectible and franchise fees expenses by $5,861 and $20,749, respectively, above the amounts currently reflected in GSWC's rates. An increase of $1,640,996 or 1.12% is needed to offset the overall supply expense increase in Region 2. Copies of detailed workpapers supporting the proposed rate increase and rate calculations have been provided to the Commission Staff in accordance with Standard Practice U-27-W. Effective Date This advice letter is submitted with a Tier 1 designation. GSWC is requesting this filing become effective July 1, 2021. Notice This is a Tier 1 advice letter that does not require customer notification, as provided in Water Industry Rule 7.3.1 of General Order 96-B. GSWC will notify its customers of this rate increase by placing a message on the customer's water bills that are generated after the increase goes into effect. GSWC has attached a copy of its Customer Notice Verification with the drafted bill message language.
