Making Life A Little More Pleasant For Senior Citizens Life is an ever changing and dynamic cycle. It requires constant evaluation geared towards making the inevitable passage a pleasant experience for all. It is in this light that we applaud the authorities for providing that much needed social assistance to senior citizens by way a monthly allowance through the Belize Social Security Board. Regardless of the small financial assistance, the evidence of its worthiness is manifested at the beginning of each month as those benefiting from the program make the pilgrimage to Social Security offices countrywide. The anticipation to collect the allowance is further evident as in the Santa Elena, San Ignacio and surrounding communities scenario, these senior citizens brave the elements as they stand in line on the Social Security compound in Santa Elena Town for at least an hour before the office opens at 8:00 am. Instituting the program is a good gesture. However, we believe that the time has now come for the program to be evaluated with a view towards making this life experience just a bit more pleasant for senior citizens and in the process making it more manageable for Social Security both in terms of its material as well as its human resources.

Belize City, Belize, December 02, 2009: BWS objects to PUC Initial Decision on BWS FTRP Application

The Public Utilities Commission issued its Initial Decision (2009 Full Tariff Review Proceeding) for Belize Water Services Limited (BWS) on November 17, 2009. BWS had submitted its Full Five-Year Business Plan (FFBP) report on October 1, 2009, for the period April 1, 2010 through to March 31, 2015 to the PUC for their review.

BWS has submitted a formal objection to the PUC regarding the Initial Decision. There are a number of reasons for this objection, including: · The Initial Decision ignores BWS’ proposal to reduce the monthly bills for some 7,000 or so lower-consumption residential customers who use 750 gallons or less. The BWS proposed tariffs were specifically designed to minimise the impact on lower income and lower consumption residential customers. For the 5,000 households (11% of the customer base) who use 500 gallons or less of water monthly, their bill would actually REDUCE by an average of 20%. Also, recognising the cries from San Pedro where the tariffs are higher than on the mainland, the percentage increase in San Pedro was kept much lower. · The Initial Decision ignores the company’s regulatory mandate to provide a fair return to the over 1,300 shareholders who invested their hard-earned funds. · The proposed Rate Setting Methodology (RSM) does not seem appropriate for a water utility which has constraints on cash generation and therefore on obtaining debt financing. The effect of such a methodology on a cash-short water utility can be disastrous. · The proposed Regulated Asset Value (RAV) embodied in the RSM reduces the overall asset value by subtracting contributions to assets and misses the key fact that these contributions were necessary as BWS was unable to fund them due to lack of cash. Furthermore, the RAV uses historical cost rather than market value or replacement cost on assets. The proposed RAV therefore significantly understates the cost of providing the services to customers. · The proposed regulatory changes, which would impose mandatory annual reviews, will add additional costs and overhead to both BWS and the PUC. · The issues identified above, combined with various other elements of the Initial Decision, will create an environment of uncertainty for BWS, which, especially with the need to obtain financing for major projects, will have a negative effect when reviewed by lending institutions.

Overall, the Initial Decision seems to ignore a number of requirements, issues, influences, and economic assumptions included in BWS’ Business Plan submission as well as the company’s requirement to ensure “that the company can meet the investment needs of population growth, handle emergency/disaster situations, provide fair return to shareholders and ensure the overall viability of BWS”.

00 BWS feels that this Initial Decision can be improved for the benefit of all stakeholders.
