The other shoe, When will CPUC and SJWC reach and announce a decision on the pending Rate Increase

The other shoe will drop eventually...........CPUC will reach a decision, hopefully closer to the DRA recommendation, rather than SJWC 44% rate increase.

The Rate increase proceeding has been "going" 708 days since January 3, 2012.

The typical case takes less than 18 months (roughly 540 days) from filing to ruling, as of today (12/14/2013) 708 days, 170 days longer than normal per CPUC average.

I checked online at CPUC again today, 12/14/2013, with the same result nothing new has been updated. No new documents, rulings or decisions.............

The other possible reason is to "drag the proceeding out to the point the ratepayers loss interest" and the ruling can quietly be issued. Once released and is not challenged our rates will go up! The regulatory affairs staff at SJWC is getting paid, CPUC staff involved is getting paid, at the ratepayers expense, so why rush. They can always make the increase RETROACTIVE, hopefully it's not a Christmas present. May be there really are "Ebenezer Scrooge" and "Grinch", in San Jose.
