AI summary
- Board Staff (IR-1 through IR-5) seek a full project narrative, design drawings, confirmation of underground installation rationale, and detailed outage performance data for the aging infrastructure proposed for replacement on Edgewater Street.
- IRs 6–7 probe the utility's cost-sharing arrangement with the Town's other concurrent municipal infrastructure work on Edgewater Street, requiring a line-by-line allocation of excavation, reinstatement, and mobilization costs across the Electric Utility, the Town, and the Water Utility.
- IRs 8–12 address load growth justification (forecasted ~180 additional dwelling units), feeder/transformer capacity, project scheduling, competitive procurement of engineering services, and on-site inspection and as-built drawing responsibilities.
- IRs 13–18 request two years of financial statements (FY2024/25 and FY2025/26), the accumulated surplus balance, and details of whether project revenue requirements are already reflected in Board-approved rates, along with the timing of the utility's next rate application.
- IRs 19–21 require the utility to explain the reasonableness assessment underlying the $2,650,000 estimate, clarify the stated ~5.56% rate impact tied to a Provincial debenture borrowing, and disclose all grants applied for or intended to offset project costs.
