Attachment INFORMATION REQUEST PART A: Preliminary information required by Cardno (Note: This information request below is indicative and may be discussed and refined by ACTEW in discussions with Cardno.) To enable Cardno to review the demand projections, it is requesting all water billing records from 2001-2014 in a database format. The specific information Cardno is seeking includes: a customer or property ID no.; the property type; where relevant, the number of units or flats associated with a specific meter; the period over which consumption has been measured; and consumption in this period. Note that no customer specific information is required (i.e. no information on customer names, address or billed amounts is required). A description of the methodology used by ACTEW to calculate the yield for each water source and the current yield estimate. Operating log sheets for all water treatment plants and dams for the last five years. PART B: Information about depreciation ACTEW has proposed that the asset lives for new and existing water and sewerage assets be based on the estimates contained in Attachment 17.10 of its April 2013 submission to the ICRC. Based on the preliminary review of this attachment, Panel’s there appear to be some inconsistencies between the values ACTEW has used to derive the remaining and standard asset lives and the information contained in its regulatory proposal. The Panel therefore requests ACTEW provide the following information so that it can properly assess its view on the asset lives that should be adopted.. Forecast capital expenditure Please provide: a project based breakdown of proposed capital expenditure for ACTEW’s water ($169.78 million) and sewerage assets ($313.8 million) for the 2013-14 to 2017-18 period; information on the expected economic life of each project and the basis on which this economic life has been determined (e.g. ATO effective life
