JEFFERSON CITY—The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved a request filed by Branson Cedars Resort Utility Company LLC (BCRU) for certificates of convenience and necessity which would allow it to own, operate and maintain water and sewer systems in Taney County south of Hollister, Missouri. The company sought the certificates to provide water and sewer service to an existing development known as Branson Cedars Resort.
The Commission approved the request subject to certain conditions including the installation of a master meter on each of BCRU’s two wells, and water meters for all of its commercial customers within six months after the September 5, 2015 effective date of the Commission’s order approving the applications.
Water and sewer rates have been established for customers of BCRU. A residential customer will pay a flat water rate of $56.29 a month and a flat monthly sewer rate of $48.26. BCRU is to file rate actions with the Commission within the next 12 to 18 months.
“BCRU’s proposed services are necessary and convenient for the public, so the Commission will grant the applications,” said the Commission’s order.
