Michael Gaugler - Brean Murray Carret
Good morning, Nick.
Nicholas DeBenedictis
Good morning, Michael.
Michael Gaugler - Brean Murray Carret
I had a little problem in the call here, didn’t catch you, did you say the weather effect was $0.03 on the quarter?
Nicholas DeBenedictis
I think quarter-over-quarter probably between two and three if you looked at our budget, over three plus.
Michael Gaugler - Brean Murray Carret
Okay. And just switching back to rates for a minute.
Nicholas DeBenedictis
Let me comment on that because Michael you were with us during the road show, we had a -- mid-Atlantic being 60% of the company. We had a fair July, not good, not bad, right on target may be of off half a percent or something of that grade. And up through mid August, it was hot, dry and we were pumping a lot of water. And we were looking at a very good quarter, even though the north was still getting a lot more rain than they should, it wasn't [pumping us] down. And then it just started raining in mid August, and wiped out the gain in the first part. So we still had a good reasonable shot, and then in September, it was damp and slight rain almost every other day, and just the mid-Atlantic fell off almost $0.02 to $0.03 just in that one area, in that one month. It shows you how variable weather can be, and how it's so hard -- it's hard to project even if you're halfway through the quarter.
Michael Gaugler - Brean Murray Carret
Okay. And just as a follow up, on the rate side of the equation, do you have any idea of what, like a ballpark, total amount that you'll be in for in 2007 across the system?
Nicholas DeBenedictis
Sure. We, of course, will be filing late '07 in Pennsylvania again, and that's the biggest. And just to put into perspective, we received $26 million -- $25.6 million or something in this year, so you would assume the filing would be something similar or more. And then, we also probably will hope to file in New Jersey pretty rapidly. Since they have taken so long on this case, it just eats into your next one. And I'm asking, I don't know if Kathy is there, David, maybe you can come up with a rough number, but the bigger filings are going to be in the south now, and we're looking at Florida, which will be -- Florida will be $4 million, and that will be filed probably before the end of the year, probably another $4 to $5 million in Indiana, and we are getting ready to file on that.
