(1) Solid waste collection companies shall submit for review and comment, to the division and the Washington utilities and transportation commission, any planned notification to customers pertaining to proposed or approved rate and/or service changes, prior to its production and distribution.

(2) When seeking rate adjustments from the Washington utilities and transportation commission, solid waste collection companies shall notify the division and affected cities within the franchise area. The division and cities will be provided with a list of each existing required service and its related existing and proposed rate. Solid waste collection companies shall also submit a copy of the tariff filing to the county simultaneously with submission of such documents to the Washington utilities and transportation commission. The county requests these documents to minimize staff work and to knowledgeably interact with the WUTC and solid waste collection company, and not for the purposes of asserting any rate setting authority, which rests with the WUTC. (Added by Ord. 98-002 § 7, Feb. 11, 1998, Eff date Feb. 23, 1998).
