Item 5 Other Events
On December 4, 2000, Artesian Water filed a petition with the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC) for the approval to issue $20 million in Series O First Mortgage Bonds with a stated rate of 8.17%, due on December 29, 2020, and to execute a 20 year fully amortizing note, whose stated rate will not exceed 4.8%, with the Delaware Health Social Services on behalf of the Delaware Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) in the amount of $4,307,144. The Company expects to close the issuance of the Series O Bonds on December 29, 2000, and execute the SRF Note prior to March 31, 2001. Proceeds from these issuances are to be used to call and retire the Company's $7 million 10.17% Series K First Mortgage Bonds and refinance short term debt outstanding used to finance utility plant expenditures.
On December 5, 2000, Artesian Water filed a petition with the Delaware Public Service Commission (DPSC) to implement new rates to meet a requested increase in revenue of 22.57%, or approximately $6.4 million, on an annualized basis. Artesian Water anticipates placing temporary rates into effect, 60 days from the filing date, up to the statutory limit of $2.5 million on an annual basis, under bond, until the level of permanent rates is decided by the Public Service Commission.
