PUC Counsel Asks Cut in Firm's Rates Not only should the Dyke Water Company be denied a further rate increase, but the rates should be reduced to the former $3-a-month flat-rate schedule, it was contended today in a brief filed by William C. Bricca, staff counsel of the California Public Utilities Commission. The recommendation was part of a bill of exceptions answering a proposed report filed May 28 by Stewart C. Warner, presiding examiner in the company's rate application proceedings. The company, located in Garden Grove, provides water for some West Anahelm homes. Bricca, summarizing the position of the PUC staff, also wrote: There is insufficient evidence to warrant a finding as to the company's present financial condition. Warner had stated that the present financial condition of the company "continues to jeopardize" its ability to furnish reasonable service. Even if it is assumed that the company's financial condition is presently precarious, "any such condition was caused by the applicant's unlawful reckless and imprudent extensions of its service," Bricca contended. The staff also took exception to Warner's proposal that the company's customers be required to pay 75 cents a month for the purchase and installation of meters. Bricca wrote: "To require utility ratepayers to pay for capital installations in the form of meters not only is a departure from customary rate-making, but also is wrong in principle. It results in a double burden upon ratepayers in that the ratepayers not only bear capital costs, but also continue throughout the life of the plant installed, to produce a return to the utility upon the cast of the plant."
