Proceeding Number A.12-04-019 CALIFORNIA-AMERICAN WATER COMPANY’S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL NOTICE
ABSTRACT: Re: Application of California-American Water Company (U210W) for Approval of the Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project and Authorization to Recover All Present and Future Costs in Rates, the CALIFORNIA-AMERICAN WATER COMPANY’S REPLY IN SUPPORT OF REQUEST FOR OFFICIAL NOTICE document copy is embedded. INTRODUCTION The Commission should reject the arguments submitted in response to California American Water’s Request because the Commission may properly take official notice of the January 2, 2018 correspondence from City of Salinas Mayor Joe Gunter (“Mayor’s Letter”). The Mayor’s Letter, written by Mayor Gunter on behalf of the City of Salinas, gives notice to the Monterey Peninsula Regional Water Authority (“MPRWA”), and others, that the City of Salinas will not support diversion of additional water to the Pure Water Monterey project beyond the 3,500 feet already committed because any additional water is needed to address saltwater intrusion issues. Providing this notice to MPRWA of the City of Salinas’s position is an official act of the City of Salinas, so it is the proper subject of official notice. The attempts by four public entities, all of which support expansion of the Pure Water Monterey Project, to exclude from the record the City of Salinas’ concerns and opposition to expansion lacks merit and should be rejected. CONCLUSION Based on the foregoing, California American Water respectfully requests the Commission take official notice of the Mayor’s Letter
