BY THE BOARD:

On November 7, 2015, New Jersey-American Water Company, Inc. ("Petitioner" or "Company"), a public utility of the State of New Jersey, filed a petition with the Board of Public Utilities ("Board") pursuant to N.J.S.A. 48:2-21, N.J.A.C. 14:9-7.1 et seq. and 14:9-8.1 et seq., for authorization to change the levels of its existing Purchased Water Adjustment Clause ePWAC") charge and Purchased Wastewater (sewerage) Treatment Adjustment Clause rPSTAC") charges, with respect to increased purchased water expense and increased purchased wastewater treatment expense. The total amount originally requested was an overall increase of $3,081,503 or 0.49% above estimated total Company revenues of $626,085,025. As a result of settlement discussions, the Petitioner, the Division of Rate Counsel ("Rate Counser) and Board Staff ("Staff") (collectively the "Signatory Parties") have agreed to a total overall stipulated increase of $3,079,763 or 0.49% above total Company revenues of $626,257,040. Intervenor Middlesex Water Company ("Middlesex") submitted a letter not objecting to the settlement.

The Petitioner services approximately 605,000 general metered water customers and approximately 35,500 sewer customers in all or part of 188 municipalities in 18 of the State's 21 counties.

Page 2: STATE OF NEW JERSEY Board of Public 350 08625-0350

The Company purchases water on a routine basis from eleven separate entities and purchases wastewater treatment services from three separate entities, each of which adjusts its rates for service, and, in the case of wastewater treatment service providers, issues sewerage deficit/credit adjustments, at different times throughout the year. The eleven water purveyors are: Passaic Valley Water Commission; Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority; Montclair Water Bureau; Shorelands Water Company; New Jersey Water Supply Authority; Atlantic City Municipal Utilities Authority; City of Wildwood; Borough of Seaside Heights; City of Newark; Township of Maple Shade; and Marlboro Township Municipal Utilities Authority. The three sewerage treatment purveyors are: Cape May County Municipal Utilities Authority for the Petitioner's Ocean City Sewer tariff group; Ocean County Utilities Authority for the Petitioner's Lakewood Sewer tariff group; and Howell Township for the Petitioner's Adelphia Sewer tariff group.

In 1/M/0 New Jersey American Water Company. Elizabethtown Water Company. and Mount Holly Water Company (Docket No. WR06030257, April 2, 2007), the Board ordered that all purchased water costs and purchased wastewater treatment costs be removed from base rates and recovered through the PWAC and PSTAC as applicable. In the petition filed within the instant proceeding, Petitioner proposed to increase its PWAC rate in PWAC Rate Schedule 0-1 from $0.4525 per thousand gallons of water to $0.4577 per thousand gallons of water for Non­Exempt customers. Petitioner proposed to increase its PWAC rate from $0.3902 per thousand gallons of water to $0.3947 per thousand gallons for Exempt customers. It also proposed to address its PSTAC charges as follows:

For customers in Lakewood Township, Ocean County, the rate per thousand gallons of prior year's winter water quarter usage (January, February and March meter readings) as reflected in PSTAC Rate Schedule 2-B, would decrease from $3.7965 per thousand gallons to $3.6296 per thousand gallons.

For customers in Ocean City, Cape May County, the rate per thousand gallons of prior year's summer water quarter usage (July, August and September meter readings) as reflected in PSTAC Rate Schedule 1-B, would increase from $24.0083 per thousand gallons to $24.5226 per thousand gallons.

For customers in the Adelphia section of Howell Township, Monmouth County, the rate per thousand gallons of water as reflected in PSTAC Rate Schedule 3-B, would increase from $6.4594 per thousand gallons to $6.6559 per thousand gallons.

BACKGROUND/PROCEDURAL HISTORY

This matter was transmitted to the Office of Administrative Law ("OAL") on November 16, 2015, as a contested case and was assigned to Administrative Law Judge ("ALJ") Elia A. Pelios. A telephonic prehearing conference was held on January 7, 2016, with ALJ Pelios during which, among other things, the ALJ directed that public hearings be held on this matter.

2 BPU DOCKET NO. WR15111289 OAL Docket No. PUC18503-2015S

Page 3: STATE OF NEW JERSEY Board of Public 350 08625-0350

On January 20, 2016, Middlesex Water Company ("Middlesex") filed a motion to intervene in the instant proceeding, and no party opposed the motion, which was subsequently granted. After proper notice, two public hearings were held in following locations in Petitioner's service area: in Ocean City on February 3, 2016 at 2:00p.m. and in Howell Township on February 3, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. No member of the public appeared at the Ocean City public hearing. One member of the public attended the Howell Town ship public hearing but chose not to speak on the record.

Subsequent to the public hearings, the Petitioner, Rate Counsel, Staff and Middlesex engaged in settlement negotiations. On February 26, 2016, the Signatory Parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation). Middlesex submitted a letter to ALJ Pelios on February 26, 2016, stating that it had no objection to the Stipulation.

On March 9, 2016 ALJ Pelios issued his Initial Decision recommending adoption of the Stipulation executed by the Signatory Parties, finding that they had voluntarily agreed to the Stipulation and that the Stipulation fully disposes of all issues and is consistent with the law.

DISCUSSIONS AND FINDINGS 1

The Signatory Parties recommend that the Board approve a change to Petitioner's PWAC rate on PWAC Rate Schedule 0-1 from $0.4348 per thousand gallons of water for Non-Exempt customers to $0.4659 per thousand gallons of water for Non-Exempt customers; and from $0.3750 per thousand gallons of water for Exempt customers to $0.4018 per thousand gallons of water for Exempt customers.

The Signatory Parties further recommend that the Board permit Petitioner to change its effective PSTAC charges as follows (including the effects of rate compression):

For Lakewood Town ship, Ocean County, the rate per thousand gallons of prior year's winter quarter as reflected within PSTAC Rate Schedule 2-B will increase from $3.8151 per thousand gallons to $4.1625 per thousand gallons.

For customers in Ocean City, Cape May County, the rate per thousand gallons of prior year's summer water quarter usage (July, August and September meter readings) as reflected upon PSTAC Rate Schedule 1-B, will increase from $24.8816 per thousand gallons to $24.9644 per thousand gallons.

For customers in the Adelphia section of Howell Township, Monmouth County, the rate per thousand gallons of water as reflected upon PSTAC Rate Schedule 3-8, will increase from $5.8388 per thousand gallons to $6.2674 per thousand gallons.

1 Although described in this Order at some length, should there be any conflict between this summary and the Stipulation, the terms of the Stipulation control, subject to the findings and conclusions in this Order.

Page 4: STATE OF NEW JERSEY Board of Public 350 08625-0350

The effective PWAC rate change would result in an increase in the annual bill of an average residential customer utilizing 6,000 gallons per month as follows:

Present Proposed Amount Percentage Monthly Bill Per month Increase Increase

SA-1 $53.41 $53.59 $0.18 0.34%

SA-1B Pennsgrove $43.20 $43.39 $0.19 0.44%

SA-2 Manville, SA-10 $49.92 $50.11 $0.19 0.38%

SA-2, SA-3 & SA-1 A $52.53 $52.72 $0.19 0.36%

SA-3 Southampton $47.67 $47.86 $0.19 0.40%

The PSTAC rate changes will result in: (a) an increase for a typical residential sewer service customer in Lakewood Township, Ocean County utilizing 18,000 gallons of water in the winter quarter of $2.08 per month or 3.56%; (b) an increase to an average sewer service customer in Ocean City, Cape May County utilizing 20,000 gallons in the summer quarter and 44,000 gallons of water per year of $0.14 per month or 0.21 %; and (c) an increase to an average sewer service customer in the Adelphia section of Howell Township, Monmouth County utilizing 48,000 gallons of water per year, of $1 .71 per month or 3.35%.

These PWAC and PSTAC rates are calculated as being effective April 1, 2016.

The Parties have agreed on a methodology for calculating the amount of interest to be applied to over-recoveries within the PWAC. This method is described as follows: Total PWAC True-up balance (Over)/Under-recovered (which is the adjusted total purchased water expense minus total PWAC revenues net of cost recoveries for the current month} of the current month, plus the total PWAC cumulative true-up balance (Over)/under recovery) of the prior month, minus the amortization of the PWAC true-up from the previous PWAC year of the current month. By way of example of this methodology, see Note 5, Schedule DMD-2, attached to this Stipulation. The Signatory Parties agree to review this methodology and adjust it as necessary and appropriate in future PWAC proceedings.

Having reviewed the Initial Decision and the Stipulation of Settlement, the Board HEREBY FINDS that the Signatory Parties have voluntarily agreed to the Stipulation, and that the Stipulation fully disposes of all issues in this proceeding and is consistent with the law. The Board FURTHER FINDS the Initial Decision, which adopts the Stipulation, to be reasonable, in the public interest, and in accordance with the law. Therefore, the Board HEREBY ADOPTS the Initial Decision and the Stipulation, attached hereto, including all attachments and schedules, as its own, incorporating by reference the terms and conditions of the Stipulation, as if they were fully set forth at length herein, subject to the following:

Copies of the true-up schedule shall be served upon all parties to the present proceeding.
