Definition

A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) gives a utility company the special right to provide water or sewer services in a specific area. This ensures people in that area get steady and good-quality service. Different groups like investor-owned utilities, Water Supply Corporations (WSCs) and affected counties have to get a CCN. Cities and districts can also choose to get CCNs if they want to offer these services in an area already covered by a CCN.
