K ~ " STATE OF NEVADA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION Robert A* Allen, Chairman Chas. V. Williams, Commissioner Hugh A* Shamberger, Commissioner Lee S, Scott, Secretary CARSON CITY, NEVADA April 9, 1953 Las Vegas Land and Water Company ^01 South Second Street C Las Vegas, Nevada 0 Attention: Mr. L. R. Maag, Mannager P Gentlemen: Y This has to do with the conversation we had in your office concerning the extensions of service to the lots owned by Mr. Fong. Your Mr. Davis referred to Section 9 as being the governing factor. Since the lines to the Fong lot are service lines, they come under Rule 8 rather than Rule 9* Rule 8 reads, as you know, "All service lines extending from mains to property lines and the proper shut-off shall be installed, maintained and owned by the water company". The applicant should be advised that: the 3/4-ineh tapping and 50 feet of service line will cost him $5. If he wants a 1-inch line, he should be advised that it will cost: him $20. This Commission is of the opinion that: Rule 8 governs even when the main is not in the center of a street. We are also of the opinion that the service line should run to the curb or the property line for the figure set: up in 8A and that no extra charge should be made for anything in excess of 50 feet to the curb line. The appli­cant should be billed for the cost of the line from the main to the curb for whichever size he has made application. He can then earry on the balance of his service line from the eufcb line to his property. Section 9 runs to extensions of mains and has nothing to do with service pipes. We trust you will make this correction in your billing to Mr. Fong. Sincerely yours, PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF NEVADA s/Robert A. Allen ROBERT A. ALLEN Chairman RAA: jm
