1 On April 27, 2001, the Commission received a petition from Stroh's Water 
Company, Inc., requesting that  the Commission grant an exemption to the 
provisions of WAC 480-110-275(3) that require water companies  to file an 
annual report of financial and operational activity by May 1.  The petition 
requests Stroh's Water  Company, Inc., be granted an extension until May 16, 
2001, to file the company's 2000 annual report.  The  petition was accompanied 
by a check remitting to the Commission the company's 2000 regulatory fees.
 
2 WAC 480-110-275(4) allows water companies to request an extension of time for 
filing annual reports.  

                                                   FINDINGS

3 The Commissioners have reviewed the petition and have been fully advised in 
the matter.  They believe   granting the petition is not inconsistent with 
public interest, and direct the Secretary to issue the Order.
