RE: IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF FALLS WATER CO.,
INC. TO AMEND CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND
NECESSITY NO. 236; CASE NOS. FLS-W-20-04 AND FLS-W-21-03.
BACKGROUND
On November 13, 2020, the Commission issued Order No. 34833 approving Falls Water
Co., Inc.’s (“Company”) acquisition of Morning View Water Company (“Morning View”). In
Order No. 34833, the Company was encouraged to work with Staff in filing a tariff combining
former Morning View service territory customers and the Company’s existing customers. On
May 6, 2022, the Company filed conforming tariffs that include a new schedule for previous
Morning View service territory customers, Schedule 5 & 6.
On March 31, 2022, the Commission issued Order No. 35357 approving the Company’s
acquisition of Honey Bee Acres Water Co. (“Honey Bee”). In Order No. 35357, the Company
was ordered to work with Staff to create a tariff schedule that expires upon interconnection of the
two water systems. On May 5, 2022, the Company filed conforming tariffs that include a new
schedule for Honey Bee customers, Schedule 7.
Because the Company has followed the Commission’s directives in Order No. 34833 and
Order No. 35357, Staff recommends the Commission accept the Company’s filed tariffs and
cancel Morning View’s tariffs.

DECISION MEMORANDUM - 2 - MAY 10, 2022
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission accept the Company’s tariffs as filed and cancel
Morning View’s tariffs, effective immediately.

COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to accept the Company’s tariffs as filed and cancel Morning
View’s tariffs, effective immediately?
