NATURE OF THE CASE: CENTURY UTILITIES, INC. OWNS AND OPER ATES A SEWAGE TRMT PLT IN WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA. THE CEN- TURY SEWAGE TRMT PLT SERVES THE CENTURY VILLAGE RETIREMENT COMMUNITY COMPLEX AND DISCHARGES WASTEWATER INTO THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE DRAINAGE SWALE AND THEN TO THE WEST PALM BEACH CA- NAL, WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS CASE IS TO REQUIRE THAT CENTURY COMPLY WITH ITS PERMIT BY CEASING DISCHARGE TO SURFACE WATERS. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS IT IS NECESSARY TO JOIN PBC IN THIS ACTION TO MAKE THEM COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THEIR EPA CON- STRUCTION GRANT AND ALLOW CENTURY TO HOOK TO PUMPING STATION #240. IT IS HOPED THAT WITH BOTH PARTIES JOINED THE COURT CAN DECIDE WHAT REASONABLE AND PROPER FEES SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR THIS SERVICE. IF THE COURT DECIDES THAT PBC CAN CHARGE A CONNECTION FEE, IT IS HOPED THAT THE COURT WILL DECLARE THIS AS GRANT RELATED INCOME APPROPRIATE TO BE REPAID TO THE U.S. AS PROVIDED UNDER GRANT REGULATIONS.
