INTERIM ORDER
By letter of December 9, 1992 the attorney-of-record
for the above-captioned Respondent wrote a letter requesting a
two month moratorium of further proceedings in the above-
captioned matters. A copy of said letter is hereto annexed as
Appendix "A". By letter of December 10, 1992 the Office of
Consumer Advocate wrote a similar letter, requesting a thirty day
moratorium. A copy of said letter is hereto annexed as Appendix
"B". These letters were written in response to a request by the
undersigned made "on the record" at a pre-hearing conference in
Scranton, Pennsylvania on December 3, 1992, at which time all
parties were requested to advise on or before December 10, 1992
their position concerning such a moratorium.
The Oneida Water Company is in bankruptcy; it is in the
process of securing financing, and has received a conditional
1
letter of commitment from a lender to lend funds sufficient to
enable Respondent to upgrade its facilities so as to eliminate
service problems. The loan commitment is to Respondent's parent
company, C.B.G. Limited. A copy of the letter from bankruptcy
counsel to the attorney-of-record in the instant case which
better details the said loan transaction is annexed hereto as
Appendix "C". Respondent will not know for at least a month if
those funds will be forthcoming. Even after the loan is
finalized, Respondent will need time to either withdraw its
Petition in Bankruptcy or to obtain the approval of the
Bankruptcy Court for expenditure of these funds for the purposes
stated herein.
For the foregoing reasons we now enter the following
ORDER:
That there will be a moratorium of sixty days from this
instant date, during which time the parties will attempt to
amicably resolve questions regarding a plan of action for the
improvement of Respondent's system to eliminate service problems;
and during which time Resnondent is requested to exercise maximum
efforts to finalize the loan transaction as more specifically
outlined in Appendix "C" attached to this order.
