My new found legal help (see second paragraph: LINK) filed a petition to reopen discovery for the case.  That would have presented the opportunity to require Aqua to produce hard evidence about when it ceased trucking.  Reopening was a long shot, but Public Utility Commission (PUC) regulations do allow it. 

​

Actually, I was not aware that I ever had the opportunity to require Aqua to document anything.  I found nothing in PUC procedures about it.  It certainly would have been appropriate for this case. 

​

Naturally Aqua replied to both filings refuting everything I claimed. 

 

Ultimately, the PUC denied this petition.
