RALEIGH
In the Matter of
Application for Transfer OfPublic Utility \ ORDER REQUIRING
Franchise OfPines Utilities, Inc. h}P|UhS \ CUSTOMER NOTICE
Webb Creek, LLC \
BY THE PRESIDING COMMISSIONER- On December 22, 2016, in Docket
No. W-1 314, Sub 0, Pluris Webb Creek, LLC (Pluris), filed an application for a certificate
of public convenience and necessity (CPCN), and pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 62-116
for temporary operating authority, to provide wastewater utility service for 34 existing
single-family residences in areas of The Pines Development in Onslow County known as
Eastport I and Timber Ridge, and for 44 to be constructed single-family residences at
Eastport Section 111, Phase 1, and for approval of rates.' On February 1, 2017, the
Commission issued an Order Approving Temporary Operating Authority, Approving
Interim Rates, Requiring Undertaking, and Requiring Customer Notice.
On February 12, 2018, in the above -captioned dockets, Pluris and Pines Utilities,
Inc. (PUI) filed an Application for Transfer of Public Utility Franchise and for Approval of
Rates (Joint Application). PUI's service area is The Pines Development, which consists
of an existing mobile home park (MHP) and other areas where there is now, or will in the
future be, residential and commercial development (The Pines).
The Pines is served by PUI pursuant to the CPCN issued to PUI in Docket
No. W-822, Sub 0. Pluris seeks to acquire PUI's wastewater collection system and to
obtain authority to serve pursuant to a CPCN, the entirety of The Pines, consisting of the
Pines MHP with approximately 170 mobile homes, the areas of The Pines which are the
subject of the temporary operating authority granted to Pluris on February 1, 2017, in
Docket W-1314, Sub 0, and all areas where future residential and commercial
development will occur in The Pines.
PUI provides wastewater utility service to all customers in The Pines, except �,M
the 34 existing and the 44 constructed or to be constructed new single-family residences
which are served by Pluris pursuant to the temporary operating authority granted it in
Docket W-1 314, Sub 0. Pluris serves those single-family residences at an interim monthly
flat rate of $37.69 per single-family equivalent (SFE).
, In the Matter of Application by P|uhe Webb Creek. LLC. for Temporary Operating Authority to
Serve The Pines Development in Onn|mm County, North Cero|ina, and for the Eventual Approval of a
Certificate ofPublic Convenience and Necessity.

On August 8, 2016, in Docket W-864, Sub 11, the Commission appointed Pluris
as the Emergency Operator of the wastewater treatment system of Webb Creek Water
and Sewage, Inc. (Webb Creek). The Webb Creek service area is located in Onslow
County in close proximity to PUI's service area.
On June 7, 2017, in Docket No. W-864, Sub 14, the Public Staff — North Carolina
Utilities Commission (Public Staff) filed a Complaint and Petition for Revocation of
Franchise for the Webb Creek wastewater utility system and the service area assigned
to Webb Creek.
On June 13, 2017, in Docket No. W-1314, Sub 1, Pluris filed an Application for a
CPCN authorizing it to serve the Webb Creek service area, if the Commission revoked
Webb Creek's franchise and CPCN authorizing Webb Creek to serve that area.
On March 26, 2019, in Dockets W-864, Sub 14 and W-1314, Sub 1, the
Commission issued its Order revoking Webb Creek's franchise and granting a CPCN to
Pluris authorizing it to provide wastewater utility service in the area formerly served by
Webb Creek, continuing Pluris's interim rates, and requiring customer notice.
On May 8, 2019, in the instant dockets, Pluris and PUI jointly filed a Request for
Issuance of Order Requiring Customer Notice (the Request) requesting that the
Commission issue an Order requiring customer notice and providing for any further
and decision concerning the Joint Application.
In the Request, Pluris and PUI acknowledged that revocation of Webb Creek's
franchise and issuance of a CPCN to Pluris authorizing it to serve the Webb Creek service
area was a predicate to approval of the transfer of PUI's assets and franchise to Pluris.
Pluris and PUI asserted that as Webb Creek's franchise has been revoked, and a CPCN
authorizing Pluris to serve the Webb Creek service area has been issued by the
Commission, that all predicates necessary for the Commission to proceed with its review
of the Joint Application have been satisfied.
Pluris's Agreement for Sanitary Sewer Service dated October 26, 2016, with
The Pines LLC, the developer of The Pines, was filed with the Commission on
December 22, 2016, in Docket W-1 314, Sub 0. As reflected in that Agreement, monthly
sanitary sewer utility usage charges for the 170 existing mobile homes are paid by the
developer, based on the current interim Monthly Flat Sewer Rate (Residential) for the
Webb Creek service area of $37.69 per SFE. That Agreement provides that when a MHP
lot is converted to a single-family residence, the new owner of the single-family home will
pay the Commission -approved to for sanitary sewer utility service. Until that conversion
occurs, The Pines developer will continue to pay the Monthly Flat Sewer Rate
(Residential) for the lots occupied by mobile homes.
K

being granted a CPCN to serve the Webb Creek service area, Pluris and PUI requested
that the Commission issue an order requiring customer notice advising all customers in
The Pines, including The Pines MHP, that unless the Commission receives significant
protests, the Commission may decide this matter on the filings and approve the franchise
transfer and continuation of the interim rate without schedulin�,V. a hearin[�'K. The Public Staff
supports the Request.
1010-010JUIR �*�
Based upon the foregoing and the record, the Commission concludes that an order
requiring customer notice should be issued with regard to the Joint Application for the
transfer of PUl's franchise and assets to Pluris, and for approval of rates, and for issuance
of a CPCN authorizing Pluris to serve The Pines in its entirety, including those areas as
to which Pluris has temporary operating authority to provide wastewater utility service.
Further, the Commission concludes that the notice to customers required by this Order
shall communicate to customers that the Commission may decide this matter on the
filings and approve the franchise transfer and continuation of the interim rate, without
scheduling a hearing, if no significant protests are filed with the Commission.
Moreover, the Commission concludes that the interim rate of $37.69 per SFE
approved for Pluns in connection with the grant of temporary operating authority to serve
portions of The Pines shall continue, with this interim monthly rate being subject to refund,
with 10% interest per annum, if not ultimately being found to be reasonable by the
Commission. The Commission notes that when permanent rates are set for the Webb
Creek and The Pines service areas in the next general rate case for Pluris, the interim
to a CPCN, will be audited by the Public Staff, and the Public Staff will recommend to the
Commission whether the Public Staff considers that there has been an overcollection and
customer refunds should be ordered by the Commission.
1 . That a copy of Appendix A, attached thereto, shall be mailed with sufficient
postage or hand delivered to all PUI customers, and the Eastport 1, Timber Ridge, and
Eastport Section III, Phase 1 customers which Pluris is presently serving pursuant to the
temporary operating authority previously granted to it by the Commission, no later than
seven days after the date of this Order.

2. —That Pluris shall submit to the Commission the attached Certificate ol
Service, properly signed and notarized, not later than 10 days after the di® of this Order.

PUI's service area is The Pines Development in Onslow County, which consists of
an existing mobile home park (MHP) and other areas where there are now, or will in the
future be, residential and commercial development (The Pines). The Pines is served by
PUI pursuant to the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) issued to
PUI in Docket No. W-822, Sub 0.
PUI provides wastewater utility service to all customers in The Pines, except for
the 34 existing and the 44 constructed or to be constructed new single-family residences
in the Eastport 1, Timber Ridge, and Eastport Section 111, Phase 1 areas of The Pines,
which are served by Pluris pursuant to the temporary operating authority granted it by the
