On
July 1, 2009, the Company’s first WICA surcharge and the voluntarily
enacted rate decrease, each discussed above in “Regulatory Matters and
Inflation”, became effective. The net effect of these two new
items on customers’ bills was a decrease to operating revenue of
approximately $287,000, or approximately 15% of the total year over year
decrease in customer revenues. WICA charges will continue to
appear on customer’s bills until the Company’s next general rate case,
including increases to WICA charges between cases, while the rate
reduction was eliminated on January 1,
2010.
|
-
|
Water
production for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by
4%. A portion of this decline was related to lower residential
demand due to the extremely wet and cool weather experienced in the second
quarter of 2009. In addition, our residential customers
continued the declining usage throughout
2009.
|
-
|
Industrial
revenues decreased by $363,000, or 20%, to $1,459,000 when compared to
2008, primarily due to the economic downturn affecting companies in our
service regions. A portion of the decrease was due to
industrial customers cutting back on shifts and other budget
cuts.
|
-
|
Partially
offsetting the declining usage described above, was the implementation of
the second phase of the Company’s 2006 rate increase that was effective
April 1, 2008. As a result, the first quarter of 2009 included
an increase of rates of approximately 4.5% that was not included in rates
in the first quarter of 2008.
|
-
|
The
January 2009 acquisition of Ellington Acres added approximately $261,000
in new revenues from the additional customers
served.

The
Eastern acquisition added approximately $1.7 million in new revenues from
both the additional customers served and the make whole payments received
from the RWA.
|
-
|
The
second phase of the 2006 rate case, which became effective April 1, 2008,
contributed approximately $2.0 million in additional revenues over 2007
levels.
|
-
|
The
weather impact was most notable in the Company’s northern service area,
which is the Company’s largest service area, where there were 96 days
during the period May 1, 2008 through October 31, 2008 with at least a
trace of rain, totaling 34.8 inches of rain in the aggregate, compared to
17.4 inches during the same period in 2007. The change in
weather conditions between years resulted in an approximate $1.5 million
revenue disparity between years. The impact of the unfavorable
weather can be seen in Operating Revenues from residential
customers. Despite increasing the customer count in this class
of customer by over 2,600 additional customers (or 3.5%), consumption
decreased by approximately 232 million gallons (or -4.5%). In
fact, despite a decrease in consumption across all customer classes, only
the residential class saw a decrease in Operating
Revenues.
