  3. Municipal Water Company Target 26,000 Customers Pry Vet Water Company 480,000 Customers

  4. Muni System – Pry Vet Co. 26,000 Customers Pry Vet Water Company 480,000 Customers

  5. Issue – Should the cost of the excess purchase price be borne by all customers or just those that receive benefits of the purchase? Muni System – Pry Vet Co. 26,000 Customers Pry Vet Water Company Standard Approach - Single Tariff Pricing (STP) aka Uniform Rates 480,000 Customers Discussion: Using STP - Socialize (All customers pay) Cost Causers/Benefit Recipient

  7. Muni System – Pry Vet Co. 26,000 Customers Pry Vet Water Company 480,000 Customers • Use of STP – Uniform rates • Economies of Scale • Private vs Public target • Gain for ratepayers

  8. Recovery Period of Acquisition Adjustment • Regulatory [legislative] Asset, • Allocation of purchase price to assets – • Not Allowed under USoA, • FASB – GAAP follows regulatory treatment ASC 980-350-35-1 • Suggestion - Match life of Water/Waste water plant in general (40+ years).

  9. Cost of Capital • The acquisition adjustment has a different risk profile than normal utility-plant-in-service, which should result in a lower equity return.

  10. The logical solution [to getting the acquisition price right is to] Limit the acquisition premium …to the cost savings promised by the consolidation. - Scott Hempling 2019 Thank you
