  On February 1, 2000, Harbor Springs Water Co., Inc. filed tariff revision 
in     UW-000126, a revision to its currently effective Tariff WN U-1 
designated as:

    First Revised Sheet No. 21
    Canceling
    Original Sheet No. 21

  It appearing that the filing herein would increase rates for water service 
rendered by respondent and that the rights and interest of the public might be

the request and to concurrently dismiss the Complaint and Order Suspending 
Tariff Revision and allow the proposed tariff revision and approve the 
stipulation.
