RE:REVISIONS TO A VISTA'S SCHEDULE 51 - LINE EXTENSION
CONVERSION AND RELOCATION SCHEDULE.
On April 14, 2003, Avista Utilities filed revised Schedule 51 , the Company s Line
Extension, Conversion and Relocation schedule in compliance with Order No. 28562 issued on
November 27 2000 in Case No. A VU-OO-l. Avista is required to make an annual filing, on or
before April 1 , updating its line extension costs and charges to reflect actual costs incurred in the
previous calendar year.
Staff has reviewed the revised tariff and finds that it incorporates all of the changes
ordered by the Commission in Order No. 28562. The revised tariff also complies with Order No.
28802 issued on August 1 2001 which changed the tariff to require that the non-refundable
portion of line extension charges be collected from the builder rather than the subdivision
developer.
Staff recommends approval of the revised tariff with an effective date of May 16, 2003.
