Existing law requires the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada to adopt regulations which provide simplified procedures or methodologies for a change of rates for public utilities which furnish water or services for the disposal of sewage, or both, to persons within this State for compensation, and which: (1) serve 3,000 or fewer persons; and (2) had gross sales for water or services for the disposal of sewage, considered separately, amounting to $2,000,000 or less for the immediately preceding 12-month period. (NRS 704.095) This bill requires such a public utility to submit an annual report to the Commission relating to the infrastructure of the public utility if the public utility is located in a county whose population is 700,000 or more (currently only Clark County) and the public utility serves at least 250 persons. This bill requires the report to be submitted each year on or before a date established by the Commission and to include, without limitation: (1) information concerning the adequacy of the infrastructure of the public utility, including, without limitation, the adequacy of the infrastructure to furnish a reasonably adequate supply of water for fire protection and the sufficiency and availability of any water rights that are necessary to provide service; and (2) any other information related to the infrastructure of the public utility that the Commission may require by regulation.
