Notice of Utility Application to Discontinue Service

The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on May 26, 2023, Spenard Heights Water System (SHWS), which holds Provisional Certificate of Public Convenience of Necessity (Provisional Certificate) No. 6005 (Water), requested the Commission revoke Provisional Certificate No. 6005. As the matter relates to Provisional Certification, the Commission initially opened Docket No. W-23-006 to review the filing. The Commission issued Letter Order No. L2300234 requiring SWHS to provide a signed verification that all lots had their own water service and that it had not received any new requests for service. On July 25, 2024, SWHS filed the signed verification. The Commission has construed this filing as an application to discontinue service and opened Docket No. U-24-028 to address the application.

AS 42.05.261(a) provides that a public utility may not discontinue or abandon service unless, after notice and an opportunity for hearing, the Commission finds that continued service is not required by the public convenience and necessity.
