Summary of issues / Proposed Decision

• Southern California Edison asked for an increase that would have doubled water rates on Catalina Island
• The Proposed Decision keeps rates at their current level - no increase
• The Proposed Decision disallowed approximately $1 million of operating expenses and disallowed approximately $8 million of capital investment (as being overly expensive or not necessary). 
• The Proposed Decision accepts Southern California Edison's proposal to shift $10.7 million of increased costs as a one-time charge to SCE's electric customers.
  • Page 53 of the Proposed Decision:  "Approximately 750,000 people visit the island every year. There are over 200 times more visitors than there are residents. The water system primarily serves those visitors."
