JANUARY 8, 2001 RE: CASE NO. GNR-W-99-1 (Hoyt Water)
NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF CERTIFICATE APPLICATION
On September 20, 1999, Hoyt Water Company, LLC (Hoyt Water), a water corporation, filed an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) for a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity for a domestic water company in Kootenai County, Idaho. Reference Idaho Code § 61-526; IDAPA 31.01.01.111. The matter was informally stayed to give the applicant time to explore non-regulated options.
On March 2, 2000, Hoyt Water filed a letter with the Commission requesting the withdrawal of its Application. Reference IDAPA 31.01.01.068. The Commission is apprised that a mutually-owned non-profit corporation known as Hoyt Bluff Water Association, Inc. has been formed. Hoyt Water has been transferred to the new entity, which is owned and operated by the members thereof, which consist of owners of lots within the Hoyt Ranch Second Subdivision, as well as adjacent properties outside of the subdivision.
Commission Decision
Staff has investigated this matter and agrees that the water company has been restructured in such a manner as to preclude Commission jurisdiction. Reference Idaho Code 61-104. Staff recommends that the request for withdrawal of the Application be granted and that the case docket be closed. Does the Commission find Staff’s proposed resolution of this case to be acceptable?
