Tariff Submission for Puerto Rico Water Utility
The problem
The wholesale water supplier (PRASA) to the Coco Beach Utility Company (CBUC) was planning to increase the tariff charged to CBUC by 49 percent. CBUC was already paying a high price for the water it provided to its customers because PRASA charged it a commercial tariff instead of a more appropriate industrial tariff.
How we helped
Castalia prepared a tariff submission arguing that CBUC should be charged an industrial tariff. We found that CBUC covered the costs for water distribution, metering and billing. Given that PRASA covered these costs for other commercial customers but not for CBUC, it was unfair for CBUC to pay a commercial tariff.
Impact
CBUC presented the tariff submission to PRASA. As a public body, we expected PRASA to make a fair decision regarding CBUC’s tariff submission.
