Defective is as defective was. LHEUC’s 2 appeals of the SCC’s February 2006 order nullifying the changes to its rates and rules were rejected. On 3/14/06, the SCC made final its Order requiring LHEUC to refund the overcharges. The SCC did extend the deadline to pay refunds from May 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006. LHEUC also has to provide an accounting of refunds to the SCC by that date. Homeowners are entitled to a refund of $40.50 per month for each month they were overcharged. Anyone who overpaid the tap fee is entitled to a refund of $7,032 for each lot. Refunds have to be paid with interest.

Please, Pretty Please…
That’s one view of the 2 petitions LHEUC filed with the SCC asking the state agency to revise its late February ruling. On 2/28/06, LHEUC filed with the SCC a Petition for Reconsideration in an attempt to reverse the SCC’s 2/23/06 decision nullifying LHEUC’s recent rate increase and proposed changes to its rules. Then, apparently sensing that its first petition just wasn’t persuasive, LHCC filed a second petition. Then, on the next business day, LHEUC re-filed this petition as its slightly modified second petition. Under Virginia’s Administrative Code, the SCC’s order is under the control of the Commission and subject to modification for a period of 20 days, or until mid-March.
