During 2005 and 2004, no rate filings were approved for Washington Water. In 2004 and 2003, Cal Water collected a catch-up surcharge for its 2001 GRC. In Cal Water’s 2001 GRC, the CPUC-authorized effective date for rates was April 2003; however, a final decision was not approved until September 2003. As a result, the Company was authorized to collect approximately $4.5 million of the revenue not billed between April and September of 2003. In 2005, revenues dropped compared to the prior year, due in part to the discontinuance of the catch-up surcharge. In 2005 and 2004, the Company’s revenues were favorably impacted by approximately $3.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from the net recovery of memorandum and balancing accounts.
