NOTICE 	is 	hereby 	given by 	the 	Florida 	Public 	Service Commission 	that 	the 	action
discussed herein, except 	for approving the application 	for 	transfer and continuing 	existing rates

In 1982, we issued water and wastewater Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S to Useppa.1 The
Utility’s last staff-assisted rate case was in 2015. 2
On December 18, 2025, Useppa and UIP Utilities Company, LLC (UIP or Buyer) filed a
joint application with us for the transfer of Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S from Useppa to
UIP. The Utility is wholly owned by Useppa Inn and Dock Company, Ltd., and Useppa Property
Company. This joint application will have UIP acquire only the assets used by the Utility to
provide regulated utility service, with the Utility’s non-regulated assets and operations being
transferred to one of Useppa’s other subsidiaries. 	The initial joint application was found to be
deficient but was cured by the Buyer on April 6, 2026. Per the agreement, the sale closed on
September 22, 2025, with the transfer of the regulated utility assets being subject to our approval.
This order addresses the transfer of the Utility’s water and wastewater systems and
Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S and continuation of the Utility’s existing rates and charges,
the appropriate net book value (NBV) of the water and wastewater systems for transfer purposes,
and revision of the miscellaneous service charges and initial customer deposits. We have
jurisdiction pursuant to Sections 367.071, 367.121, and 367.081, Florida Statutes (F.S.).
Decision
I. 	Transfer of Certificate 354-W and 310-S
On December 18, 2025, Useppa and UIP filed a joint application for the transfer of
Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S from Useppa to UIP. We reviewed the application and
determined that it is in compliance with Section 367.071, F.S., and our rules concerning
applications for transfer of certificates.
A. Noticing, Territory, and Land Ownership
UIP provided notice of the application pursuant to Section 367.071, F.S., and Rule 25-
30.030, F.A.C. No objections to the transfer were filed, and the time for doing so has expired.
The application contains a description of the service territory, which is appended to this order as
Attachment A. In its application, UIP provided a copy of a special warranty deed as evidence
that the Buyer has the rights to long-term use of the land upon which the treatment facilities are
located, pursuant to Rule 25-30.037(2)(s), F.A.C.
B. Purchase Agreement and Financing
Pursuant to Rule 25-30.037(2)(i) and (j), F.A.C., the application contains a statement
regarding financing and a copy of the purchase agreement, which includes the purchase price,
terms of payment, and a list of the assets purchased. There are no guaranteed revenue contracts,

a certificate to operate a water and sewer utility in Lee County, Florida.
2 Order No. PSC-15-0029-PAA-WS, issued January 8, 2015, in Docket No. 20110260-WS, In re: Application for

or customer advances of Useppa that must be disposed of with regard to the transfer. UIP has
reviewed all leases and agreements and assumed those agreements. Any customer deposits will
be refunded to customers by the Seller prior to the closing. We reviewed the purchase and sale
agreement, which stated that the total purchase price for the assets is $16,000,000 which includes
the entire island resort and all its business, with $1,752,473.57 allocated to the purchase of the
water and wastewater utility assets associated with the regulated Utility. Furthermore, our review
of the purchase and sale agreement confirmed that the closing took place on September 22, 2025,
but the transfer of assets is dependent on our approval of the transfer, pursuant to Section
367.071(1), F.S.
C. Facility Description and Compliance
The water system includes a water treatment plant composed of two wells. The water is
treated via chlorination for disinfection, and reverse osmosis for dissolved solids removal. The
two wells have capacities of 90 gallons per minute each. The water distribution system extends
throughout the service area. UIP provided a copy of the Utility’s current consumptive use permit
from the SWFWMD.
The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is an extended aeration activated sludge plant
with a design capacity of 45,000 gallons per day (gpd). The plant is permitted by the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to operate at 20,000 gpd, based on the maximum
monthly average daily flow. The treatment plant consists of four aeration basins, two clarifiers,
three sludge holding tanks, two percolation ponds and two pre-filter chlorine contact chambers.
Additionally, there are two lift stations throughout the service territory.
We reviewed the most recent DEP sanitary survey, issued on May 8, 2023, which
identified nine issues. After the issues were corrected, the facility was determined to be in
compliance with the DEP’s rules and regulations. We also reviewed the results from the Utility’s
June 20, 2025 water quality tests, including the secondary water quality test. All results were
below the DEP’s maximum contaminant levels for each primary or secondary contaminant.
We reviewed the most recent DEP compliance evaluation inspections for the WWTP.
The March 20, 2026, evaluation identified that the Utility had exceeded the effluent quality and
flow limits as required by the wastewater facility permit. The Utility explained the exceedance
and completed corrective actions prior to the inspection. All deficiencies were corrected, and the
WWTP is currently in compliance with the DEP.
D. Technical and Financial Ability
Pursuant to Rule 25-30.037(2)(m), F.A.C., the application contains statements describing
the technical ability of the Buyer to provide service to the proposed service area. UIP’s
application states that while the company’s officer and directors do not have experience
operating utilities, they do possess experience in finance, development, capital planning, and
system investment decisions. Furthermore, the Buyer plans to use the same contracted operator,
U.S. Water Services Corporation, who currently provide routine operation and maintenance of

ORDER NO. PSC-2026-0235-PAA-WS
DOCKET NO. 20250146-WS
PAGE 4
the systems. Billing and customer service is currently handled by the Buyer, and it intends to
continue to provide those services. As the operators have experience with the Utility’s facilities,
it is reasonable for the Buyer to retain the contract.
The Buyer stated that the purchasing entity was created for the purpose of acquiring and
operating water and wastewater systems in Florida as a public utility. In its application, the
parent company of UIP, Useppa Island Partners, provided financial statements, as well as an
affidavit stating its ability and intent to meet all reasonable capital needs arising from the
operation of the Utility. We reviewed the parent company’s financial statements. Based on the
above, the Buyer has demonstrated the technical and financial ability to provide service to the
existing service territory.
E. 	Rates, Charges, and Initial Customer Deposits
Useppa Island’s rates for both water and wastewater were approved in 2015 in a staff
assisted rate case.3 The rates were amended by a price index in 2019. The miscellaneous service
charges were last approved in 2007.4 The Utility’s initial customer deposits were approved in
1983 for its water and wastewater systems.5 The Utility’s service availability charges for water
and wastewater were approved in 1987.6 Rule 25-9.044(1), F.A.C., provides that, in the case of a
change of ownership or control of a Utility, the rates, classifications, and regulations of the
former owner must continue unless authorized to change by us.
In 	regard 	to 	the 	Utility’s 	existing 	miscellaneous 	service 	charges, 	the 	violation
reconnection charge is appropriate. However, the remaining miscellaneous service charges do
not conform to Rule 25-30.460, F.A.C., and are discussed in Section III. The Utility’s initial
customer deposits are not consistent with our practice, and are discussed in Section III.
Therefore, we find that the Utility’s existing rates, violation reconnection charge, and service
availability charges, shown on Schedules Nos. 2-A and 2-B, shall remain in effect until a change
is authorized by us in a subsequent proceeding. The tariff pages reflecting the transfer shall be
effective on or after the stamped approval date on the tariff sheets pursuant to Rule 25-30.475(1),
F.A.C.
F. 	Regulatory Assessment Fees and Annual Report
We verified that the Utility is current on the filing of annual reports and regulatory
assessment fees (RAF through December 31, 2025. The Seller will continue to be responsible for

filing the Utility’s annual reports and paying RAFs, until the closing of the sale has been
approved by us. After the approval, the Buyer will be responsible for all future years.
G. Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, we find that the transfer of the water and wastewater systems and
Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S is in the public interest and shall be approved effective the
date of our vote, June 2, 2026. The resultant Order shall serve as the Buyer’s certificate and shall
be retained by the Buyer. With the exception of miscellaneous service charges and the initial
customer deposit, the Utility’s existing rates and charges shall be continued. The Seller is
current, with respect to annual reports and RAFs, through December 31, 2025. Based on the
application, the Seller will be responsible for RAFs and annual reports until our approval. The
Buyer will be responsible for filing annual reports and paying RAFs for all future years.
II. 	Net Book Value
A. Utility Plant In Service (UPIS)
The Utility’s trial balance reflected a plant balance of $1,082,866 for water and $847,716
for wastewater as of September 22, 2025. Our audit staff recalculated the plant balances and
determined the correct balances are $1,653,668 for water and $945,028 for wastewater. As a
result, water plant shall be increased by $570,802, and wastewater plant shall be increased by
$97,312. As such, we find a water plant balance of $1,653,668 and a wastewater plant balance of
$945,028.
B. Land
In Order No. PSC-15-00029-PAA-WS, the land balances for water and wastewater were
$10,463 and $3,487, respectively. Our audit staff determined that there have been no additions to
land. As such, we find a land balance of $10,463 for water and a land balance of $3,487 for
wastewater.
C. Accumulated Depreciation
The Utility’s trial balance reflected an accumulated depreciation balance of $698,515 for
water and $529,172 for wastewater. Our audit staff recalculated accumulated depreciation using
the audited UPIS plant balances and the depreciation rates established by Rule 25-30.140(2),
F.A.C. Oud audit staff determined accumulated depreciation was understated by $75,377 for
water and $142,016 for wastewater. As a result, accumulated depreciation shall be increased by
$75,377 for water and $142,016 for wastewater. As such, we find an accumulated depreciation
balance of $773,892 for water and $671,188 for wastewater, as of September 22, 2025.

D. Contributions-in-Aid-of-Construction 	(CIAC) 	and 	Accumulated 	Amortization 	of
CIAC
In Order No. PSC-15-00029-PAA-WS, the CIAC balances for water and wastewater
were fully amortized at $225,670 and $230,187, respectively. We determined that there have
been no additions to CIAC. As such, we find a CIAC and accumulated amortization of CIAC
balance of $225,670 for water and $230,187 for wastewater.
E. 	Net Book Value
The Utility reflected an NBV of $394,814 for water and $322,031 for wastewater, as of
September 22, 2025. Based on the adjustments above, we find an NBV for the Utility of
$890,239 for water and $277,327 for wastewater, as of September 22, 2025.
F. 	Conclusion
Based on the above, we find that, for transfer purposes, the NBV of the Utility’s water
system is $890,239, and the NBV of the wastewater system is $277,327, as of September 22,
2025. Within 90 days of the date of the final order, the Buyer shall be required to notify us in
writing that it has adjusted its books in accordance with the our decision. The adjustments shall
be reflected in the Utility’s 2026 Annual Report when filed. The Buyer is not requesting a
positive acquisition adjustment as part of this transfer docket, but may petition for a for a
positive acquisition adjustment within the three years established in Rule 25-30.0371, F.A.C.
III. 	Revisions to Miscellaneous Service Charges
The Utility did not request to revise its existing miscellaneous service charges. Section
367.091, F.S., authorizes the us to establish, increase, or change a rate or charge other than
monthly rates or service availability charges. The Utility’s miscellaneous service charges consist
of initial connection and normal reconnection charges. Rule 25-30.460, F.A.C., does not allow
for initial connection and normal reconnection charges. The definitions for initial connection
charges and normal reconnection charges were subsumed in the definition of the premises visit
charge. Therefore, we find that the initial connection and normal reconnection charges be
removed and the definition for the premises visit charge be updated to comply with Rule 25-
30.460, F.A.C. Since the dollar amount did not change, the Utility does not need to send a notice
to the customers. The existing charges for water and wastewater needing to be revised are shown
below in Table 1.

Based on the above, we find the miscellaneous service charges be revised to conform
with Rule 25-30.460, F.A.C. The tariff shall be revised to reflect the removal of initial
connection and normal reconnection charges. UIP shall be required to file a proposed customer
notice to reflect the our approved charges. The approved charges shall be effective on or after the
stamped approval date on the tariff sheet pursuant to Rule 25-30.475(1), F.A.C. UIP shall be
required to charge the approved miscellaneous services charges until authorized to change them
by the us in a subsequent proceeding.
IV. 	Initial Customer Deposits
The Utility currently charges initial customer deposits of $100 for the 5/8 inch x 3/4 inch
meter size, and a specific dollar amount for all other residential and general services meter sizes,
which are not equal to two times an average monthly bill. Rule 25-30.311, F.A.C., contains
criteria for collecting, administering, and refunding customer deposits. Rule 25-30.311(1),
F.A.C., requires that each company’s tariff shall contain its specific criteria for determining the
amount of initial deposits.
Rule 25-30.311(7), F.A.C., authorizes utilities to collect new or additional deposits from
existing customers not to exceed an amount equal to the average actual charge for water and/or
wastewater service for two billing periods for the 12-month period immediately prior to the date
of notice. The two billing periods reflect the lag time between the customer’s usage and the
Utility’s collection of the revenues associated with that usage. Our practice has been to set initial
customer deposits equal to two months bills based on the average consumption for a 12-month
period for each class of customers. The Utility provided average consumption of 5,180 gallons

ORDER NO. PSC-2026-0235-PAA-WS
DOCKET NO. 20250146-WS
PAGE 8
for residential water. Based on average residential usage, we determined the average residential
monthly bill is approximately $75 for water service and $114 for wastewater service.
Based on the above, the appropriate initial customer deposits are $150 for the residential
5/8 inch x 3/4 inch meter size for water and $228 for wastewater. The initial customer deposit for
all other residential meter sizes and all general service meter sizes for water and wastewater shall
be two times the average estimated bill. The approved initial customer deposits shall be effective
for service rendered on or after the stamped approval date on the tariff pursuant to Rule 25-
30.475, F.A.C. UIP shall be required to collect the approved deposits until authorized to change
them by the us in a subsequent proceeding.
Based on the foregoing, it is
ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission that the transfer of the water and
wastewater systems and Certificate Nos. 354-W and 310-S of Useppa Island Utilities Company,
Inc. to UIP Utilities Company, LLC is in the public interest and shall be approved effective the
date of our vote, June 2, 2026. The resultant Order shall serve as the Buyer’s certificate and shall
be retained by the Buyer. With the exception of miscellaneous service charges and the initial
customer deposit, the Utility’s existing rates and charges shall be continued. The Seller is
current, with respect to annual reports andRAFs, through December 31, 2025. Based on the
application, the Seller will be responsible for RAFs and annual reports until we approve the
application for transfer. The Buyer will be responsible for filing annual reports and paying RAFs
for all future years. It is further
ORDERD that The NBV of the water and wastewater system for transfer purposes is
$890,239 for water and $277,327 for wastewater as of September 22, 2025. Within 90 days of
the date of the Final Order, UIP shall notify us in writing that it has adjusted its books in
accordance with our decision. The adjustments shall be reflected in the Utility’s 2026 Annual
Report when filed. The Buyer is not requesting a positive acquisition adjustment as part of this
transfer docket, but may petition for a for a positive acquisition adjustment within the three years
established in Rule 25-30.0371, F.A.C. It is further
ORDERED that the appropriate revisions to miscellaneous service charges shown on
Table 2 are approved. The tariff shall be revised to reflect the removal of initial connection and
normal reconnection charges. UIP shall be required to file a proposed customer notice to reflect
the charges approved herein. The approved charges shall be effective on or after the stamped
approval date on the tariff sheet pursuant to Rule 25-30.475(1), F.A.C. UIP shall be required to
charge the approved miscellaneous services charges until we authorize a change in a subsequent
proceeding. It is further
ORDERED that the appropriate initial customer deposits are $150 for the residential 5/8
inch x ¾ inch meter size for water, and $228 for wastewater. The initial customer deposits for all
other residential meter sizes and all general service meter sizes for water and wastewater shall be
two times the average estimated bill. The approved initial customer deposits shall be effective for
service rendered on or after the stamped approval date on the tariff pursuant to Rule 25-30.475,
