Simpler rate changes for small utilities

The Nevada Public Utilities Commission must set simpler steps for small water or sewer utilities to change rates. You qualify if you serve 3,000 or fewer people and had $2,000,000 or less in sales for that service last year. If you offer both water and sewer, each service is checked on its own. The rules include short letters of advice to adjust rates using a national inflation index the Commission approves. This speeds routine changes without a full rate case.

Yearly infrastructure report for small utilities

Small water or sewer utilities must file a yearly infrastructure report if they meet the small-utility limits (3,000 or fewer people served and $2,000,000 or less in sales for that service last year), are in a county with 700,000 or more people, and serve at least 250 people. The Commission sets the due date. The report must cover if the system can supply water for fire protection, your water rights, and other infrastructure details the Commission requires.
