 BACKGROUND

On November 30, 2000, Pattison Water Company, Inc., (Pattison) filed tariff 
revisions, in Docket UW-001858.  The tariff revisions filed with the Commission 
are designated as:

Sixth Revision Sheet No. 2
Canceling
Fifth Revision Sheet No. 2 and
Original Sheet No. 25.

These tariff revisions will add Summer Shores water customers to the currently 
effective tariff of the Company.  Summer Shores water system was purchased in 
October of 1995 from Summer Shores Water Association.  At that time the water 
did not meet all state requirements.  Pattison was able to interconnect and 
provide water meeting state requirements.  The customer’s rate as of October 
1995 was adopted by Pattison and has not changed since that time.

The tariff revisions bear an effective date of January 1, 2001.  This date 
recognizes statutory notice as required.  The Company requests, however, that 
statutory notice be waived and that the tariff revisions become effective 
December 14, 2000.  Pattison is requesting LSN treatment of these tariff 
revisions to comply with Commission rules and to allow the Company a proper 
tariff for future filings.

Since the tariff revisions filed herein do not change rates to customers, and 
waiver of statutory notice is not inconsistent with the public interest, it is 
deemed appropriate that the Company be granted the waiver it is requesting with 
an effective date of December 14, 2000.

This matter was brought before the Commission at its regularly scheduled open 
meeting on December 13, 2000.  The Commissioners, having been fully advised in 
the matter, and having determined the following order to be consistent with the 
public interest, directed the Secretary to enter the following order and 
related provisions.


 
 O R D E R

THE COMMISSION ORDERS:

1. That the requested waiver of statutory notice in connection with the tariff 
revisions filed herein by Pattison Water Company, Inc., November 30, 2000, is 
hereby granted, and said tariff revisions shall become effective December 14, 
2000.

2. This order shall in no way affect the authority of this Commission over 
rates, service, or accounts, evaluations, estimates, or determination of cost 
or any matters whatsoever that may come before it, nor shall anything herein be 
construed as an acquiescence in any estimate or determination of cost or any 
valuation of property claimed or asserted.

DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 13th day of December, 2000.
