85. Utilities
1. Valuation/Utilities: Valuing a utility is difficult
since there is no established market, especially where it is losing money.
Stagecoach Util. v. Stagecoach Gen. Imp. Dist., 102
Nev. 363, 364, 724 P.2d 205 (1986) (#72)
2. Valuation/Utilities: Although normally we determine
the value of the property to the condemnee, not the condemnor, where a utility
has been relieved of the burden of an unprofitable water system by condemnation,
the court should look to the value that the utility has to the condemnor to arrive
at a damage amount. Id. at 364. Accordingly, compensation "lies between
an amount equal to the salvage value of the water system and an amount equivalent
to the reproduction cost of the water system minus depreciation." Id. at
365 Plus interest from date of taking. Id. 366 (#72)
