BEFORE THE FLORIDA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
In re: Application for acknowledgment of
name change on water Certificate No. 354-W
and wastewater Certificate No. 310-S in Lee
County from Useppa Island Utility, Inc. 	to
Useppa Island Utilities Company, Inc. _
DOCKET NO. 20260029-WS
ORDER NO. PSC-2026-0207-FOF-WS
ISSUED: June 	3, 2026
FINAL ORDER APPROVING CHANGE IN NAME OF UTILITY
BY THE COMMISSION:
In response 	to 	a Commission 	staff interrogatory 	in Docket No. 20250 146-WS, Useppa
Island 	Utility, 	Inc. 	(Utility) 	indicated 	that 	an 	incorrect name was 	inadvertently 	used when
registering with 	the Commission. 1The regulated history of the Utility began 	in 	1981 when 	the
Utility was granted water and wastewater certificates 354-W and 31 0-S 	in Lee County under the
name 	Useppa 	Island 	Utility, 	Inc. 	(Original 	Certificate 	Name). 	However, 	the 	Utility 	was
registered with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations, on March 23, 1981, as
Useppa 	Island 	Utilities 	Company, 	Inc. 	(Corporate 	Name). 	Subsequent 	filings 	with 	the
Commission have 	reflected variations of the 	Utility’s 	Original 	Certificate Name and Corporate
Name. On February 23, 2026, Commission staff established Docket No. 20260029-WS 	to correct
the Utility’s name for the agency’s records.
Rule 25-30.039, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), 	sets 	forth the 	filing requirements
for changes 	in name only, with no change 	in the ownership or control of the 	utility or 	its 	assets.
On March 	2, 2026, the Utility filed an affidavit for acknowledgement of the name change of the
Utility 	from 	its 	Original 	Certificate Name 	to 	its 	Corporate Name. 	The 	Utility 	provided 	a
statement attesting that there will be no change in the ownership, assets, or control of the Utility,
and that the name on 	file with 	the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations 	is 	the
correct name. The Utility provided documentation from 	the Florida Department of State 	that 	it
has continuously been registered and operated under the Corporate Name since 1981. On May 	1,
2026, 	the 	Utility 	filed an 	affidavit 	stating 	that 	it mailed 	the approved customer 	notice 	to 	its
customers. Having reviewed the 	Utility's 	filings, 	the request 	for acknowledgement of change in
name 	is 	in compliance with 	the 	provisions of Rule 25-30.039, F.A.C. 	Therefore, 	the name on
Certificate Nos. 354-W and 31 0-S 	shall be changed from Useppa Island Utility, 	Inc. 	to Useppa
Island Utilities Company, 	Inc., as reflected on the 	certificates identified in Attachment A of this
Order.
Based on the foregoing, 	it 	is
ORDERED by the Florida Public Service Commission 	that the request by Useppa Island
Utilities Company, 	Inc. 	to change 	its name on 	Certificate Nos. 354-W and 	31 0-S 	is hereby
approved, 	and 	issue 	this 	administrative 	order 	to 	acknowledge 	the 	change 	in name 	of 	the
1Document No. 00930-2026, in Docket No. 20250146-WS.

certificates identified in Attachment A. This Order shall serve as the Utility’s certificate and shall
be retained by the Utility. 	It 	is further
ORDERED that this docket be closed.
By ORDER of the Florida Public Service Commission this 3rd day of June, 2026 	.
