Pending Applications

The Commission posts pending application summaries. The summary is only a portion of the application materials received by the Commission and is posted in order to provide an overview of the proposed project. The summary has been modified to remove specific locational information for public water suppliers per Commission Regulations and the Commission's Access to Records Policy. 18 CFR § 801.14(b)(8); Policy No. 2009-02(1)(f)(11). To request access to complete applications, See Policy No. 2009-02 Access to Records Policy.

Please note:

  • Application summaries posted on WAAV contain information submitted by applicants and the accuracy of that information may not have been validated by Commission staff.
  • Once an application is acted upon by the Commission, the application is no longer available through WAAV.

Approved Applications

Project approvals (dockets, approvals by rule, etc.) are generally available on WAAV approximately three weeks following Commission approval.
