1. Is the Lake Monticello complex the most profitable single entity within Aqua Virginia?
2. Is the Lake Monticello complex the most cost effective single entity within Aqua Virginia; i.e.the greatest ratio of income divided by expense?
3. Does the concept of SCC approved “consolidated rates” encourage Aqua Virginia to acquire smaller water systems which by themselves might be poor investments because they typically require immediate upgrade and due to their small size could only be profitable if huge rates were approved by the SCC?
4. Since each small acquisition is bundled under the guise of “consolidated rates” do Lake Monticello customers wind up subsidizing these small acquisitions?
5. If Aqua Virginia had to justify rate increases to the SCC based on expenses solely attributable to the Lake Monticello complex, would our rates be lower?
