• holding that Commission has no statutorily-conferred jurisdiction over a Sanitary Projects Act association found not to be operating as a public utility
• stating that SPA utilities are exempt from the PUA absent a provision that affirmatively brings them within the Commission’s jurisdiction
• assuming that the Legislature is aware of existing laws at the time of subsequent legislation
• noting that utility rate decisions require highly technical expertise
• “An SPA association operating as a public utility would be subject to the Commission’s exclusive regulatory jurisdiction, as any other public utility would be.”
• “The PUA’s silence as to whether the Commission has jurisdiction over SPA associations, by itself, proves to be inconclusive on the issue of whether the Commission has jurisdiction by necessary implication over SPA associations.”
