Box 475 Dover, DE 19903-0475 RE: Request for letter on Utility Services Lands of Chestnut Grove Farm LP on the south side of Chestnut Grove Road, Dover Tax Parcel Number ED00-066.00-02-49.00/000 Dear, Hay hMelson: We. ne in receipt of your letter dated December 17, 2003, requesting a statement with regards to availability of sewer service to the above referenced properties. You stated that the proposed zoning for the properties is RM-1. Sewer collection and local transmission service for this area including the aforementioned properties is provided by the City of Dover. The City Department of Public Works will have to certify the adequacy of said system. We suggest that the wastewater flow from the subdivision be routed into the city owned McKee Road pump station. Said pump station is currently connected to the Kent County Pump Station No. 2. The County is in the process of constructing a parallel transmission main expanding the capacity needed to serve the City of Dover under the existing Contract User Agreement. In the future, the McKee Road pump station will be connected to this new parallel transmission main. Therefore, if the Chestnut Grove Farm subdivision will be connected to the McKee Road pump station, we have sufficient transmission and treatment capacity to serve the projected sewer flows of the proposed ma, Hons fede, P.E.

ATTACHMENT #4 Electric Rate Study Status Report Updated January 29, 2004 The Electric Rate Study Implementation Committee found that if we implemented the recommendations of the consultants including: proposed energy rates, demand rates, 95% power factor, the 100% Demand Ratcheting, and 25KV criteria for distinguishing between small and medium commercial customers total revenue would increase 11.93% or $6,317,544 more than projected by the consultant. Keep in mind new rates were to be revenue neutral as a whole. When analyzing why this occurred we determined that 1) Consultant appeared to not have factored in the impact of 100% ratcheting or the power factor when making the recommendations on energy and demand rates. 2) Also the consultant did not factor in the shifting of commercial customers from small to medium classes when applying the 25KV criteria. Based on our analysis to date the committee recommends the following: 1. Accepting the consultant’s recommendations for residential rate structure. The committee recommends increasing the rate from $.0880 to .0890. Our calculations indicated that without this slight adjustment, the rate would not cover cost of service and provide needed revenue. 2. Accepting the proposed energy rates and customer service charges proposed by consultant for all rates except primary (see #6 below). 3. Not accepting the consultant’s recommendation for 25K'V peak demand as the criteria for determining whether a customer is a small or medium commercial customer, this caused too much rate shifting resulting in higher cost to customers that were not anticipated by the consultant. The committee proposes keeping the current criteria of 3,500 kwh for two consecutive months. 4. Accepting the consultant’s recommendation for 95% power factor and 100% ratcheting for demand customers (medium commercial, large commercial, primary, transmission and special rates) as good practices to put into place, but we recommend reducing the proposed demand rates to equalize for the increase in cost caused by the power factor and ratcheting increases. 5. Accepting the consultant’s recommendation for billing demand based on a standard maximum 15-minute demand during the month. Currently, primary and special rates demands are based on a maximum 60-minute demand during the month.

6. Accepting recommendation of moving the Church rate, Agricultural Commercial Rate, and Municipal Rate customers into appropriate commercial classes, this actually caused an overall decrease in cost for these customers. Areas needing additional review: 1. We are continuing to analyze the impact on Primary Customers. When we applied the 95% power factor and the 100% Demand Ratcheting with modified demand rates we were able to bring the overall classes revenue up to the 4% recommended by the consultant. The problem we are having is that we found wide variations within the customers. Some customers saw increases of .604% while others were increased by 24.8%. We are currently examining ways to smooth the impact on this rate class. The study also recommended reincorporating three special rate customers back into this rate class. The large increases these customer’s are experiencing because of that is being analyzed and reviewed by the committee. Until we can examine this further the committee is uncomfortable making a recommendation. Update 1/29/04: e Playtex Apparel was moved to the primary rate. Their consumption was changed to reflect their decreased usage since March of 2003. e Playtex Products remains at their current rate with adjustment of power factor to 95% and an additional $1 charge for demand. e Tilcon is under contract. Therefore, their rate was changed back to their original contractual rate. e Continuing to examine the possibility of increasing the general primary tate to meet the 4% increase recommended by the Rate Study. 2. Impact on the Medium Commercial class was erratic with 96 out of 1,084 customers experiencing 50 % or larger percentage increases from current bills. We are examining why these large increases are occurring. Until this issue is resolved we are uncomfortable approving a demand charge for this class of customer. Update 1/29/04: e We removed 25K W minimum charge.
