§ 4909.151.
In fixing the just, reasonable, and compensatory rates, joint rates, tolls, classifications,
charges, or rentals to be observed and charged for service by any public utility,
the public utilities commission may consider the costs attributable to such service. The utility shall file with the commission an allocation of the cost, except cost
related to sparsity of population, for services for which a change in rates is proposed
when evidence relating thereto is presented which indicates that the rate or rates
do not generally reflect the cost of providing these services. As used in this section, “ costs ” includes operation and maintenance expense, depreciation expense, tax expense, and
return on investment as actually incurred by the utility. The costs allocated to each service shall include only those costs used by the public
utilities commission to determine total allowable revenues.
