Kentucky Public Service Commission

Order Entered nunc pro tunc, that: 1. The Appendix to the November 21 , 2017 Order is amended by deleting the erroneous gallon block labels, and adding the correct gallon block labels as: first 2,000 gallons at $15.14 minimum bill; next 3,000 gallons at $5.82 per 1,000 gallons; next 5,000 gallons at $5.07 per 1,000 gallons; next 10,000 gallons at $4.74 per 1,000 gallons; and over 20,000 gallons at $3.67 per 1,000 gallons. 2. The rates set forth in the Appendix to this Order shall replace those set forth in the Appendix to the November 21, 2017 Order.

Final Order Entered: 1. The findings contained in the Staff Report are adopted and incorporated by reference into this Order as if fully set out herein. 2. The rates proposed by Dexter-Almo are denied. 3. The rates set forth in the Appendix to this Order are approved for services rendered by Dexter-Almo on and after the date of this Order. 4. Within 20 days of the date of this Order, Dexter-Almo shall file with this Commission, using the Commission's electronic Tariff Filing System, new tariff sheets setting forth the rates and charges approved herein and their effective date, and stating that the rates and charges were authorized by this Order. 5. Dexter-Almo shall modify the depreciable lives currently assigned to Transmission and Distribution Mains ("Mains") from 25 and 50 years to 62.5 years and modify the depreciable lives currently assigned to Meters from 25 and 50 years to 42.5 years. These modifications reflect the mid-point of the depreciable lives of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners ranges and were found to be reasonable by Staff in its report. Dexter-Almo shall depreciate Mains over 62.5 years and meters over 42.5 years for accounting purposes in all future reporting periods. No adjustment to accumulated depreciation, or retained earnings should be made to account for this change in the accounting estimate.
