1. The Commission shall adopt regulations
which provide simplified procedures or methodologies for a change of any rates
or fees for those public utilities which furnish water or services for the
disposal of sewage, or both, to persons within this State for compensation, and
which:
(a) Serve 4,000 or fewer persons; and
(b) Had during the immediately preceding 12-month
period gross sales for water or services for the disposal of sewage amounting
to $4,000,000 or less. If a public utility furnishes both water and services
for the disposal of sewage, its gross sales for each service must be considered
separately for determining whether the public utility qualifies under this
paragraph for either service.
2. The regulations adopted by the
Commission pursuant to subsection 1 must provide, without limitation, for the
filing of letters of advice to change rates and, as authorized by the
Commission, fees, based on a nationally recognized inflation index approved by
the Commission.
3. A public utility described in
subsection 1 which is located in a county whose population is 700,000 or more
and which serves at least 250 persons shall, each year on or before a date
established by the Commission, submit to the Commission a report that includes,
without limitation:
(a) Information concerning the adequacy of the
infrastructure of the public utility, including, without limitation, the
adequacy of the infrastructure to furnish a reasonably adequate supply of water
for fire protection as required by NRS
704.660 and the sufficiency and availability of any water rights that are
necessary to provide service; and
(b) Any other information related to the infrastructure
of the public utility that the Commission may require by regulation.
