		ORDER EFFECTING WITHDRAWAL OF CONTRACT, AND DISMISSING
		COMPLAINT AND ORDER SUSPENDING CONTRACT


BACKGROUND

1 On November 2, 2000, Stroh’s Water Company, Inc., (“Company”) filed with the 
Commission a  contract with Papa John’s Pizza for water service and fire flow.  
The contract agreement would be  used to provide domestic water service and 
fire flow requirements to property located on Point   Fosdick Drive NW in Gig 
Harbor, Washington.  The contract calls for several paybacks for an   existing 
tank, a line extension of approximately 600 feet to include a fire hydrant and 
several other  charges contained in the water company’s tariff.

2 It appearing that the filing would increase rates for service rendered by 
respondent and that the rights  and interest of the public might be injuriously 
affected, the Commission, on November 29, 2000,  entered a Complaint and Order 
Suspending Contract.

3 The Commission is now in receipt of a letter dated April 5, 2001, where 
respondent requests that the  contract filed in this docket be withdrawn.

4 From all indications, it appears to be in the public interest to accommodate 
the request and to   concurrently dismiss the Complaint and Order Suspending 
Contract.

5 This matter was brought before the Commission at its regularly scheduled open 
meeting on April 25,  2001.  The Commissioners, having been fully advised on 
the matter, and having determined the   following order to be consistent with 
the public interest, directed the Secretary to enter this order and  related 
provisions.

ORDER

6 The Commission grants the withdrawal of the contract, filed in this docket 
UW-001675, and orders  that the Compliant and Order Suspending Contract in this 
docket dated November 29, 2000, shall be  dismissed.

DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 25th day of April, 2001.
