RE: Request for Authority to Borrow Additional Funds for Necessary Work on Morning
View Water Company's System.
Dear Ms. Carlock:
This letter concerns the Morning View Water Company, and its need to perform additional
necessar upgrades to its water system to ensure compliance with Department of Environmental
Quality standards. DEQ officials who have assisted in this matter brought it to my attention that
authorization from PUC needed to be received in order for Morning View to qualify or receive a loan
under the Deparment of Environmental Quality's Drinking Water Planng Grant or Drinking Water
Loan Letter ofInterest. I have since visited with you by phone, and appreciate your assistance in this
matter.
Morning View has requested a loan of $275,000.00 in order to address a number of issues
raised by the Department of Environmental Quality in a recent amended consent order executed
between the Deparment of Environmenta Quality and Morning View Water Company. Attached
to this letter is a copy of our January 13, 2010 letter to Nancy Bowser of the Idaho Deparment of
Environmental Quality, along with its associated attachments, including the letter of interest
submitted on behalf of Morning View. As set forth on page 2 of our letter, this loan is necessary in
order to:
1. Complete installation of variable speed drives for both pumps on the Morning View system;
2. Installation of approximately 25 meters on one acre lots within the Morning View
subdivision;
3. Performance of pump testing on Morning View's two existing pumps to determine whether
or not a third well would be necessary for the Morning View water system;
4. Installation of a backup generator; and
5. If necessary, construction of a new municipal welL.
The above are deficiencies raised by the Deparment of Environmental Quality in response
to inspections made by DEQ personnel on the Morning View system. Morning View is a small

system, and curently only has approximately 106 actual users, even though there are more
connections than those that are curently connected.
Exhbit A to the letter includes the Consent Order Morning View recently executed with the
Deparment of Environmental Quality, which sets forth in detail the concerns and violations assessed
by DEQ. Due to current difficulty in obtaining financing for these projects, we have turned to DEQ
for a loan under their LOI program, which wil be the best way to address some of the system's
curent shortcomings. Without a loan approval from DEQ, we are uncertain as to where we could
look next for financing to construct these improvements. It is therefore of utmost importance to
Morning View that the loan and/or grant be granted in order to allow Morning View to move
forward to correct its problems.
We are therefore specifically requesting authorization from the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission to borrow up to $275,000.00 to make the improvements set forth in our LOI and
associated documents.
Best Regards,~¿."~

RE: Deparent of Environmental Quality Drinking Water Planing Grant or Drinking
Water Loan Letter ofInterest Submitted on Behalf of Morning view Water Company.
Dear Ms. Bowser:
Enclosed is a completed Departent of Environmental Quality Drinking Water Planning
Grant or Drinking Water Loan Letter of Interest submitted on behalf of Momingview Water
Company of Rigby, Idaho. We have completed the attached form to tlie best of our understanding,
and provide ths letter in accordance with the form's instructions to submit additional explanation
regarding various steps located on the letter of interest form. We have also enclosed exhibits, which
we believe will help you understand the curent difficult situation Mornigview Water Company is
in, and why we are applyig for both a planng grant and a loan.
Attached at Exhibit A is a cover letter and consent order executed by Morningview Water
Company on October 18,2007. The consent order was necessar because of pressure problems
MOffingview faced in its system. The Morningvew water system generally consists of two pumps
and wells that divert into a common system. After various reports of pressure problems below 40
psi, IDEQ investigated Morningview, and ultimately the parties entered into the consent order to
address some of the deficiencies identified by IDEQ in the system. To date, Morningview has met
most of the requirements of the consent order, but there remain unesolved signficant issues relating
to capital improvements that need to be made on the system. After the consent order was entered
into, IDEQ determined that there were additional violations, and had indicated its desire to proceed
forward with the filing of a complaint against Morningview. A draft complaint is attached as
Exhibit B.
In an effort to resolve the matter amicably, IDEQ has entered into additional negotiations
with Morningview to char a path forward to resolve these issues. In discussing the contents of that
consent order, it became evident that Morningview needed to secure additional funding to perform
the additional improvements. Unfortunately, with the recent downturn in the economy, and the
tightening of banks in loaning money, Morningview has been unsuccessful in obtaining private
financing to fund the capital improvements identified in its original facility plan. Additionally,
Morningview is a private corporation, and due to tlie disapproved status of its system, was informed
:,:,~-C.¡"-
Idaho Dept. of EnvirOlUiiental Qi
ATTN: Nancy Bowser
January 13,2010
Page 2 of6
that it does not qualify for any tye of state or federal fuding to improve its system. After additional
investigation, and the provision of additional information by IDEQ to Morningview, it was
detennied that Morningview may qualify for a loan provided they submit the letter of interest
attached hereto.
Morningview and IDEQ have recently negotiated an amended consent order, which we
anticipate to be completed witliin the next seven (1) days. Once the amended consent order is agreed
upon and executed, we wil provide a copy of the amended consent order and request that it be
attached as an addendum to the enclosed application in this letter.
Specifically regarding the various sections of the letter of interest, we provide the following
descriptions and/or additional information.
Step 1: In discussing Morningview's situation with IDEQ loan officials, staff people, and
their attorneys, it has been determined that Morningview should and is applyig for both a
construction loan and a plannng grant. The grant is necessar for Morngview to complete some
additional work on its facility plan in order to finally be approved by IDEQ. The grant would go
toward paying of engineering costs, and environmental assessments that may be required in order
for the facility plan to be implemented.
Additionally, Morningview seeks a construction loan to make, in order of the following
priority, these improvements:
i. Installation of variable speed drives for both pumps.
2. Installation of approximately 25 meters on one acre lots within the Morningview subdi vision.
3. Performance of pump testing on Morningview' s existing two pumps, to determine whether
or not a third well will be necessary for the MornIngview water system.
4. Installation of a backup generator.
5. If necessary, construction of a new municipal welL.
Step 2: SECTION 2: We have checked four boxes under Section 2 of Step 2 of the LOl form.
The form requests that we provide documentation to support any statement for which the answer was
yes. The first box checked yes is under the portion of the LOI stating that "no reports of water borne
ilness and low potential for such exists." The consent order attached at Exhibit A documents the
pressure deficiencies the Morningview system has faced. Under IDAPA 58.0i.08.552.OJ.b.v, the
Idaho Rules for Public Drinkng Water Systems, it requires that "when pressures withn the system
are known to have fallen below 20 psi, the water system must provide public notice and disinfect the
system." Therefore, when pressures drop below 20 psi, there is the potential for contamination
witl1Ìn the system. While all ofMorningview's water quality samples have shown no water quality
contan1Ìnation, the low pressure issues experienced by Morningview would increase the potential
for a public health hazard.
Idaho Dept. ofEnvironinenta! Q
ATTN: Nancy Bowser
January 13,2010
Page 3 of6
In addition, Mornngview has checked all three boxes under the general condition of the
system. Next to the heading of this section, it requests that we provide documentation, such as an
engineer evaluation. Enclosed as Exhibit C is a final facility plan for Morningview Water Company
prepared by Ryan Loftus of Aspin Engineering, Inc. The recommendations in the report have
preliminary been accepted by IDEQ, but IDEQ has found the report deficient in that it does not set
fort a time line for the capital improvements. Otlier than this deficiency of a lack of time line, it
appears tliat the facility plan meets IDEQ standards. Specifically regarding the general condition of
the system, there are infastmctue deficiencies of pumping facilities, and insufficient capacity to
meet pressure and customer demand, and other system deficiencies related to lack of meters on tlie
system. As stated above, we have a priority list of five major capital improvements which we
believe wil significantly improve customer satisfaction and improvement of the system.
Additionally, with the installation of variable speed drives, we believe that this will improve energy
effciency throughout the system, and be a major improvement over the curent manual operation
of the two wells.
Morningview has been subject to a consent order, a copy of which is attached at Exhibit Ä.
The consent order does require mandatory public notification, and in paricular, Íiiforming users on
the Morningview system tliat they system is currently in a disapproved status. Under Section 2 of
LOI, it requests a discussion if we are seeking flUiding for "a phased approach to your systems needs
when if the phase in strategy has been discussed with the DEQ regional engineer." We have
proposed a phased-in strategy to improve the system. Because Morningview is a private company
and is subject to the regulations of the Public Utilities Commission, costs for capital improvements
performed pursuant to loan proceeds will need to be recouped through fees charged to consumers
on the system. As such, fiscal responsibility requires that it may be implemented in a phased in
approach. We anticipate installing the variable speed drives immediately upon receipt of any loan
proceeds, and securing the meters for the one acre lots within the Morningview subdivision, as water
use on those lots have significantly strained the system. With these two immediate items addressed,
the other prioritized capital improvements can be addressed in a fiscally responsible maimer.
Lastly,. there has not been an officially declared or designated public health hazai-d or
emergency that has been certified by ID EQ. However, give the consent orders, and the multiple year
process in resolving ths issue between IDEQ and Morningview, we submit that the current situation
is of immediate concern to IDEQ.
SECTION 3: Under Section 3, it requests information relative to management based efforts
to determine the costs of our efforts. Anticipated costs of our proposed improvements is generally
outlined in the final facility plan, with the one exception that we are not proposing meters for all of
the lots within the Morningview system. The Morningview subdivision consists of a number of one
acre lots, half acre lots, quarer acre lots, and much smaller trailer lots. In an effort to be as cost
effective as possible, Morningview is proposing to meter the high users, who significantly irrigate
the one acre lots within the subdivision. If it is determined at a later date that the half acre and
quarer acre lots need to be metered, then those meters could be installed at a later date in a fiscally
responsible maner. Additionally, in an effort to prioritize those needs within the system, it is more

ATTN: Nancy Bowser
January 13,2010
Page 4 of6
likely that a new well would be needed prior to installation of meters on the half acre and quarer
acre lots.
Under Paragraph 2 of Section 3, it asks for an explanation of the management base
sustainability initiative efforts that you wil engage as part of the project. Notable, it mentions the
installation of variable frequency drive pumps. Based upon the recommendations of our engineer,
and comments from Morningview water users received at a meeting held in June 2009 to discuss the
system deficiencies and how to improve them, the general consensus was to first install variable
frequency drve pumps on both Morningview pumps. In addition to the savings received from the
more energy efficient drives, the variable frequency drives would also allow the ''veils to
"communicate" with one another to maintain a more constant pressure within the system.
Additionally, we propose the installation of water meters on the approximate 25 lots within the
subdivision that are one acre in size. Morningview's observations over the years has been that there
has been significant water usage on these lots for iiTigation purposes, and we believe metering such
uses would encourage these homeowners to implement greater water conservation measures, which
will lessen demand on th system, and improve pressure and service to other members of the
subdivision. Section 3, Par 2 requests documentation supporting the technology based efforts. The
benefits of the meters, are set fOrti in the final facility plan, and it is generally understood that from
communications from IDEQ officials, this will substantially reduce water usage.
Under Paragraph 3 of Section 3, it requests that we explain tlie constmction practices
sustainability initiative efforts that we will engage in as par of our project. The constmction efforts
will be performed using generally accepted engineering principles for the installation of the variable
speed drives and the meters. However, it is also proposed that Morningview explore the opportunity
to use an existiiig capped irrigation well tliat was drilled in the late i 970s as an additiOlial municipal
welL. While the well does not meet cmrent IDEQ standards for casing for public water systems,
Momingview hopes to explore potential use of the well as a tliIrd well for the subdivision. In effect,
this would recycle or reuse tlie existing well on the property, which would potentially save costs to
consumers. Obviously, ifthis well is used, it would need to be constructed in a maimer that would
protect the public healtli and safety of those within the Morningview system. Nevertheless,
Morningview is committed to determine whether or not tliis well could be used.
SECTION 4. Paragraph 1. We estimate that the total cost to prepare a facility plan or
engineering report, and to prepare any environmental information document, envirOlU11ental
assessments, or environmental impact statements, to be approximately $30,000.00. Regarding om
interest in receiving a plaiinng graiit, question 2 of Paragraph i of Section 4 asks if we would have
our 50% required matched filids available within tlie next twelve months. We believe we would
. have the fuds available, but would use the loan proceeds requested ilider this letter of interest to
match the graiit amount. In other words, we believe the 50% required match will be available if the
loan is also granted. We have been informed by IDEQ officials that loan money could be used in
this maner. Under Paragraph 2 of Section 4 it asks whether a facility plan or engineering report has
been completed. The final facility plaii has been preliminarily accepted by IDEQ, but has not been

ATTN: Nancy Bowser
January 13,2010

formally approved because of additional planning regarding time lines that would need to be
implemented into tlie plan.
We estimate that approximately $275,000.00 would be needed to correct the problems
identified in the facility plan and engineering report. This amount would be for the totality of the
capital improvements so requested, but as indicated previously in this letter, we must proceed in a
fiscally responsible maner so as to not burden Morningviewwith excessive debt, or substantial
increase in tlie rates of the Morningview consumers provided the public utilities commission
approves a rate increase to offset the cost of the loan. We estimate the cost for tlie variable speed
drives to be approximately $10,000.00. We estimate that each meter would cost approximately
$2,000.00, and for 25 homes, estimate this to equal $50,000.00. We anticipate testing ofthe existing
tapped irrigation well to be approximately $10,000.00. To the extent a new well is required to be
drilled, we estimate this cost to be approximately $150,000.00. And lastly, we anticipate a backup
generator to cost approximately $40,000.00. If we also include the $15,000.00 tliat would be used
for our grant match, the grand total for all ofthese improvements is $275,000.00.
Regarding the community's interest to proceed on the project, attached as Exhibit D is a letter
sent to all Mornngview water customers to attend a June 9th meeting in the Rigby City Library to
discuss the pressure problems with the MOnlingview system. A majority of those there were
interested in cost effective solutions, but did express their frustration over the issues that were
currently facing the system. Overall, the patrons seemed interested in improving the system in a cost
effective manner.
Additionally, under Section 4, the LOI asks whether financial documentation is in place or
does the system of legal authority to incur the debt associated with the proposed project.
Morningview Water Company is a private company, and can therefore incur debt. The determination
of how Mornngview can repay the loan will be subject to PUC approval.
Summary: To the extent any additional information is required, we would be happy to
provide it immediately. As indicated in the consent orders, the Mornngview system has been a
concern for IDEQ for a number of years. In our dealings with IDEQ officials, they have been patient
and helpful in working towards a resolution, but at this point, all paries desire to improve the
system. Financing has been the primar hurdle for making the improvements, but with a loan and
grant from IDEQ, we believe that the system can be brought back to an approved status. We very
much appreciate your consideration of this application. If it is deficient in any respect, please !loti fy
us immediately, and we will provide the necessary information as soon as possible. We look forward
to receiving word of whether or not Morningview qualifies for the grant and! or loan requested in the
LOI.

CHAPTER 1
Summary
Introduction
The Morning View Water Company (MVWC) has contracted with Aspen Engineering to
complete a Facility Plan in accordance with the Consent Order from the Department of
Environmental Quality. The consent order identified multiple deficiencies including
insufficient pressure, significant amounts of sand, non-flushable dead end mains, and operator
licensing. Each of the eight items listed in the consent order, required action from Morning
View Water Company. A detailed facility plan (this report) is listed as requirement 9d in the
consent order. MVWC has completed all of the items listed in the consent order in addition to
complying with items listed in recent sanitary surveys.
The findings of this study are summarized below:
Water Requirements
The population serviced by MVWC is approximately 250 people via approximately 100 active
individual connections. Morning View Water Company's historical average daily demand
(ADD) for the years 2005 through 2008 was 170,750 gallons.
As an un-metered community, MVWC's ADD consumptive values are very high (2.6 to 3.0
times) in comparison with metered communities. It is recommended that MVWC implement
conservation measures including individual meters and a tiered rate structure. The ADD water
use for the 2008 year is i 78,560 gallons, with an MDD of 446,400 gallons and a peak hour
demand (PHD) of 535,685 gallons. Water demand projections for the end of the 3-year study
period (2011) are 184,000 gallons for ADD, 460,000 gallons for MDD, and 800,000 for PHD.
Supply
MVWC currently utilizes groundwater as its sale source of water. The groundwater is supplied
by two wells. Both wells are located on a single lot and are separated by a distance of 100 feet.
Both wells lie within the Company's platted service area. Total pumping capacity of the two
active production wells is estimated at 600 gpm or 864,000 gallons per day.
The current firm capacity (largest well out of service) of the Company's production wells is 200
gpm or 288,000 gallons per day. Current firm capacity does not meet PHD or MDD flow
requirements and an additional well is needed immediately.
Storage
The only storage in MVWC's water system provided in the two air over water pressure tanks
at the pump building and has no practical/useable quantity.
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 3
Distribution
The distribution system is composed of both 4 inch and 6-inch main lines. These mains are
exclusively class 200 PVC. Future expansions should continue to incorporate similar materials
throughout the distribution system. The water system does not have fire hydrants, and the
distribution mains are adequate to supply domestic flows.
Water Quality and Regulations
All of Morning View's water is supplied by groundwater wells. Water quality is good, and
compliance with both State and Federal regulations for contaminants is currently being
maintained. Currently, There is no water treatment available or provided at the MVWC
facilities. Lack of adequate pressure during the irrigation season has been and still is a large
concern for the system. Compliance with current regulations is also an issue as discussed in
Chapter two.
Federal drinking water regulations proposed or promulgated by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EP A) as part ofthe mandates ofthe Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) Amendments
must be met and certain new regulations arein effect and future regulations are anticipated to
be finalized within the next few years.
Capital Improvement Program
Currently there are no capital improvements planned for the system. However, a new well with
adequate capacity to meet the firm ADD demand must be planed and completed within the
next three years. The estimated cost to complete the new well and pump is $150,000.
Additionally it is recommended that backup power generation and/or storage be provided in
order to prevent depressurization events during power outages.
Recû mm en da tio nsf Con ci u sio fiS
Providing and maintaining adequate system pressure is the first priority for the MVWC water
system. System operating pressures were adjusted in late July of 2008 to 50 psi min and 75 psi
max. Pressure monitoring data collected November 13-20,2008 indicates adequate pressures
are being maintained in system indicating the low pressures are due to the increased demand
during the irrigation season.
Installation of meters to promote water conservation should be the first capital improvement
to the system. Implementation of a tiered rate structure, after installation of the meters, will
further aid conservation efforts and reduce the ADD.
If adequate pressures are still not maintained then installation of variable frequency drives
(VFD) should be installed first on the main well and secondarily on the smaller welL. This will
, eliminate the need for the air over water pressure tanks and will provide a much tighter range
for pressure fluctuation.
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 4
In summary, the following items have been addressed by Morning View Water Company:
.Maintain a minimum of 40 psi throughout the system
a. Adjust pressure settings.
b. Eliminate all individual booster pumps. (Only one could be verified)
c. Install VFD - still required after meter installation if needed.
.Install screening at end of discharge pipe from well house (west side) and provide a
minimum clearance of 12 inches above the ground. (2003 Sanitary Survey
Requirement) .
.Clean out well house (2003 Sanitary Survey Requirement).
a. remove all hazardous materials.
b. remove all non-water related items.
c. organize items on shelves.
d. remove all old/used/worn out parts and equipment.
.Secure underground vault - provide locking cover to vault (1997 & 2003 Sanitary
Survey Requirement).
Remove the threads from sample tap located in well house (2003 Sanitary Survey
Requirement) .
Cleanup well lot
a. mow/cut down all weeds
b. fill in hole next to well #2
c. remove trash, wood, and debris
d. fill in hole where sand separator is purged and pour concrete pad or provide rip
rap to prevent future erosion.
Ultimately, the system cannot meeiihe firm pumping capacity requirements and an additional
water source, including water rights, is needed to provide adequate capacity. Installation of
backup power generation is also recommended in order to maintain system usefulness during
outages from the primary power source.

The report covers the current configuration of the water system as well as a projection of threeyears from now when the system will1ikely be completely finished - i.e. all interior lots sold
and occupied. As a reference for construction time frame, in 2002 the system serviced
approximately 65 connections.
History
In October 2007, MVWC entered into an agreement with the State of Idaho Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) known as a consent order. The order made arrangements for
:MVWC to complete eight action items to come into compliance with current state and federal
drinking water regulations. The eight items requiring MVWC action are:
a. Correct and report deficiencies noted from the October 2003 sanitary survey and
schedule a new sanitary survey with DEQ.
b. Provide quarterly public notices to each residence on the system informing them of the
DEQ's dis-approval of the system.
c. Submit a written plan to DEQ detailing how MVWC will maintain 40 psi throughout the
distribution system
d. Complete a detailed facility plan in accordance with rDAPA 58.01.08.502

MVWC has taken the following actions in response to the consent order action items. Records
of such actions are included in Appendix A.
a. Cleanup at the well lot and pump house has been completed and a draft cross-connection
control plan has been submitted. The overflow piping still needs to have a screen
covering and the erosion at the sand separator discharge needs to be filled in. All other
items listed previously has been completed.
b. Quarterly notices have been sent.
c. Pump control settings have been changed to 50 psi (low) and 75 psi (high) to improve
system pressures. DEQ pressure monitoring showing minimum pressures above 20 psi
during the irrigation season has been established and a minimum pressure of 40 psi
during the non-irrigation season has been maintained.
d. Final Facility Plan submitted by Aspen Engineering to DEQ on April 13,2009.
e. Nolan Gneiting completed the requirements to update and make current his Idaho
Drinking Water Operators license.
f. MVWC submitted a "System Sampling Plan" to DEQ in March of 2008.
g. Installation of a sand separator in the pump building is complete and separator is
currently in operation.
h. All dead-end mains have been fitted with flushing hydrants.
Current Assets
Current assets ofMVWC include two deep wells, a 30' x 32' wood frame pump house, and 2.5
miles of distribution lines. The pump house encloses two 900 gallon tanks, a 40 gallon air
compressor, meters, valves, and piping. Two Furnas brand pump controllers are also located
in the pump house. The following table presents the various components and their anticipated
useful life and replacement data.

Operations/Administration
MVWC maintains an office located at 3996 East 200 N Rigby, Idaho. The office handles
billings, customer service, complaints, notifications to its customers and correspondence with
DEQ and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC). Office personnel document each
occurence and have a complete recording of customers and correspondence. The office is
operated Monday through Friday 8 am to 3 pm. In order to be responsive to customers needs,
a 24 hour answering service (Ideal Answering -Roberts Idaho 228-2094) takes calls during
weekends and off business hours. Their goal is to "keep our customers aware of what we are
here for, and that is to serve them in the best way we can and to let them know the extent of the
management ofMVWC."
In case of emergencies or outages, Nolan Gneiting, "Owner/Operator" is first contacted. If he
is not available, Denise Kynoch, "Office Manager" is contacted. In the event the owner
becomes incapable of carrying out his responsibilities, Dawn Gneiting would step in to handle
the water system's operation. Contracting with a certified Idaho Water operator would also be
required.
Operations plans include a daily check of the well house with written record keeping of water
pressure, pressure tank air levels, flow rate and flow totalization. The sand separator is flushed
daily to minimize sand in the distribution system.
Rates
Currently, the MVWC rate structure is regulated by IPUC. The IPUC has recently conducted
several audits of the company's books and is in the process of completing an audit to support
a either a rate increase or billing surcharge to help fund water service meters and installation
of the meters.

CHAPTER 3
Existing System
The existing MVWC water system includes two wells and approximately 11,000 feet of six
inch diameter class 200 PVC water main. 2,300 feet of four inch diameter, class 200 PVC is
also included on the system. A map of the system and its features is shown in Appendix B.
The current service area for the MVWC includes 109 acres located in the Morning View Acres
Divisions 1,2, 3, and 4. Division NO.1 of Country Grove Estates Mobile Home Subdivision
is also included on the system. There are currently 102 connections to single family residences.
Residences include site constructed homes (stick built), mobile trailer homes, and manufactured
homes on permanent foundations.
Lot sizes range from one quarter of an acre to just over one acre in area. The smaller lots are
typically occupied by either mobile trailer houses or manufactured homes. Stick built single
family residences generally occupy the larger lots.
Future growth within the existing service area boundary will include water service connections
to 25 lots in the stick built divisions, as well as an additional 22 trailer lots in Division 4 of
Morning View Acres. This will make a total of 149 individual connections to the system.
It is estimated that the system will be fully developed within the next three years.
Supply
Well 1 - The main well for the MVWC water system is 12 inch diameter well approximately
120' deep. The well is located on "well lot" at the northwest corner of Division NO.3. The well .
lot comprises 1.64 acres. The well log for this well shows it was completed in July 1996 and
is cased to a depth of 118 feet. This well has not been pump tested and the actuai well capacity
is unknown. Currently a 30 horsepower submersible pump is installed in the welL.
Well 2 - The backup well is a six inch diameter well that is 120 feet deep. According to the
well log, this well has a surface seal 18 feet deep and was constructed in June 1986. No pump
test data is available and a 10 horsepower submersible pump services the welL.
Both wells feed into a central pump house via separate pitless adapters and buried six inch
diameter pipes. The pump building accommodates two 900 gallon, air over water, pressure
tanks which then feed into the distribution system. Both well pumps are single speed pumps
and are equipped with soft start motor controllers to prevent water hammer and extend the life
of the pumps.
Water quantities are monitored using a totalizer/flow meter located in the pump house. The
meter reads the instantaneous flow through the meter as well as providing the total quantity
passing the meter (totalizer). No individual well meters are installed and it is not possible to
determine individual well production, only total water production can be recorded. The water
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 9
quality of these two wells currently meets drinking water regulations. Chapter 7 includes dialog
of compliance with drinking water regulations. .
Two 900 gallon galvanized water tanks are installed in the pump house. The two tanks are
maintained between half and two-thirds full of water with pressurized air occupying the top
portion of the tanks. The tanks are about ten years old and are in good shape with no rust or
leaks showing. The estimated useful life of the tanks is at least another ten years.
A third well is located on within the platted subdivision on Lot 5 in Division 3 ofMofling View
Acres. This well currently does not meet State Rules for Public Drinking Water Systems and
is not connected to the distribution system. In order to use Well 3 in the system, the Company
would need to conduct a 24-hour pump test on the well to verify long-term sustainable yield,
compliance with water quality standards, and provide a satisfactory well seal thus meeting the
current well construction standards. After completing the required tests and obtaining DEQ
approval, the next step would be to construct a new well house using current construction
standards.
Treatment
The only treatment currently in operation for the company's water supply is to separate sand
from the well production water. The sand separator consists of a centrifugal type separator with
raw water being fed into the unit, centrifugal action then separates the heavier sand particles
which fall to the bottom of the unit and treated water is returned to the top of the unit and put
into the distribution system. The unit operates manually and the only maintenance required is
to purge the solids from the bottom chamber of the unit on a periodic basis. A determination
of how often this is required can be made by tlushing the solids into a bucket and then
measuring the amount of sand produced per unit of water. It is likely the unit will operate at
peak efficiency with only weekly or bi-weekly purging. No other treatment or treatment
equipment is provided or necessary.
For emergency circumstances manual dosing of the individual wells would be required to treat
a bacteriological outbreak, should one occur. The Company may want to purchase an
emergency chlorination system to provide emergency disinfection capabilities.
Pressure Zone
The entire system is served by a single pressure zone. System pressures throughout the
development are established by the pressure switch setting at the pump house building on the
well lot. Most recently, the pressure settings have been adjusted to operate between 43 and 67
psi. This pressure is measured at the pump building and customer pressures at the point of use
will vary due to friction losses and the variation in demand especially during peak demand
hours. The pressure settings at the pump building could be adjusted to provide only a ten pound
differential. This would increase the lowest pressures without compromising fittings and other
equipment due to increased high end pressures. Monitoring of the well pumps to ensure the
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 10
minimum run time is still met would be required. Generally during the irrigation, water
demands will easily provide for adequate pump run time.
Based on the information obtained from pressure monitoring, the system usually operates above
the minimum pressure of 40 psi except during the irrigation season. It appears that the system
undergoes abrupt pressure changes each day as irrigation systems begin operation. The
previously held notion of individual booster pumps coming online and degrading the pressure
to surrounding areas has been dispelled as only one booster pump could be found and the
operation thereof has been extremely limited according to the homeowner.
Aspen Engineering conducted a survey of customers suspected of having individual booster
pumps and found only one that is currently installed. It is still our recommendation that all
individual booster pumps be eliminated from the system. If acceptable pressure ranges cannot
be maintained, it is recommended that a variable frequency drive (VFD) be installed in the
pump house for each of the submersible well pumps. The VFD can be set to maintain 60 psi
and so long as the pumps can keep up with demand, operating pressures wil remain constant
within 3-4 psi.
Standby Power
Currently there is no standby power or emergency power generation equipment ate the MVWC
system. In the event of an area wide power failure, no water production is realized and the
system pressures will drop to zero as users draw a limited amount (less than 500 gallons) of
water supplied by the two pressure tanks.
It was estimated by MVWC personnel that power outages account for system shutdown 3-4
times per year. Typically outages occur during strong weather events such as high winds or
heavy thunder showers. Loss of power for more than a couple of minutes during the irrigation
season results in a depressurization of the system.
Storage
The only storage in MVWC's water system provided in the two air over water pressure tanks
at the pump building and has no practical/useable quantity
Telemetry System
There is no telemetry system installed at the MVWC water system. The two wells are operated
by an automatic pïessure switch located in the pump house and both wells respond
simultaneously.
Distribution System
Water distribution for the Morning View system includes approximately 11,000 feet of six inch
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 11
pipe and 2,300 feet of 4" pipe. All of the pipe consists of class 200 polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
A map of the existing water distribution system is presented in Appendix B. Recently, three
flushing hydrants at the dead end mains were installed. There are no fire hydrants on the
system.
Service connections are exclusively one inch and are typically polyethylene. There are twelve
control valves within the distribution system, four of which are four inch valves controlling
flow to the two four inch diameter loops - one at the east end of the system and the other from
the two cul-de-sacs on 3950 East. The maximum number of residents on one continuous,
isolatable loop is at 178 North where there are 32 trailers on one loop. Generally there are
adequate valves to isolate ten to twelve homes without interrupting water service to others.
Periodic flushing of the dead-ends should be completed. A written plan identifying when each
location is/was flushed and the results of the flushing (i.e. water conditions, turbidity, etc)
should be included in the operations. Deadend mains should be flushed at least twice per year.
Cross-connection contamination of the distribution system is controlled by the use of back flow
prevention devices, generally consisting of a double-check valve. Check devices are required
to be inspected and tested after the initial installation with written verification given to the
either the owner/operator or the office manager. Periodic testing of the valves is not currently
part of the operation plan and should be implemented. The cost of testing each device should
be charged to the home-owner. Records showing the location of the device, along with the test
date and results should be kept on a master plan at the office. The proposed cross connection
control plan has been submitted to DEQ.

CHAPTER 4
Water Requirements
This chapter is to summarizes the current water system demands and projects future water use
for 3 and 20-year planning horizons. This includes a description of historical water use and
forecasting estimates developed to project future water use.
Definition of Terms
Demand
Demand refers to the total system demand, which is that quantity of water obtained from the
water supply source during a given time period required to meet the needs of domestic use, lawn
irrigation, system losses, and miscellaneous applications. Demands are normally discussed and
quantified in terms of flow rates, such as gallons per minute (gpm) or gallons per day (gpd).
Flow rates can be described in ariy terms involving a given volume of water delivered during
a specific time. Flow rates pertinent for the analysis and design of water systems are as follows:
Average Day Demand (ADD): the total volume of water delivered to the system in a year,
divided by 365 days.
Maximum Month Demand (MMD): the average rate of water delivered to the system during the
month of greatest demand during the year.
Maximum Day Demand (MDD): the rate of water delivered to the system during the day of
highest demand during the year.
Peak Hour Demand (PHD): the rate of water delivered to the system during the hour ofhighest
demand during the year.
These demands are typically presented in units of mgd. The following conversion factors may
be used to express rate of demand in other terms:
1 mgd = 694 gpm = 1.55 cubic feet per second (cfs)
1 gpm = 60 gallons per hour (gph) = 1,440 gpd
1 cfs = 450 gpm = 0.648 mgd
Volumetric conversions are:
1 cubic foot (d) = 7.481 gallons (gal)
1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet (d)
The concept of per capita demand provides a convenient method of comparing water use by
different water systems or areas served by the system. The per capita demand is obtained by
dividing the total system demand by the total population served. Differences in climate, type
of development, and water use trends influence the per capita demand for different water
systems.

Consumption
Consumption refers to the actual volume of water used by customers measured at their
connections to the water distribution system. Consumption is typically measured in gallons.
The MVWC water service connections are currently not metered. Customers pay a flat rate
according to the size of the lot being serviced. One acres lots are charged $49.48/month, one-
half acre lot fees are $40.94 and smaller lots are $32.41. Each of the listed fees include a
monthly fee of $5.00 to establish a contingency fund for emergency repairs. The owners should
consider adding customer meters to promote conservation and help leverage the available water
supply to meet current demands. The addition of meters would also all ow the Company to
quantify unaccounted-for-water in the system, discussed later in this chapter. Metering in some
cases is a requirement to obtain different sources offunding to finance improvements, including
state and federal grants.
Peaking Factors
The relationships between the ADD and other demand parameters, such as the MDD, MMD,
and PHD, are expressed as peaking factors. Typical peaking factors include the ratios ofMDD
to ADD, MMD to ADD, and PHD to ADD.
Water Production
Available historical water production data is presented in Appendix E. The available historical
data inc1 udes limited readings for both Well 1 and 2 during the perîod.
TABLE 4-1 Average Day Demand - ADD for Morning View Water Company
Year ADD (gallons)
2006 171,306
2007 162,394
2008 178,562
Average 170,754
Based on historical averages from Table 4- 1 and using recent hourly well production data
recorded on July 25, 2006, an MDD (PF MDD)peaking factor of 2.5 will be used in this study.
A value of 3.0 will be used as the PHD peaking factor (PFpHD).
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 14
Per Connection Demand
The population serviced by MVWC is approximately 225 people via approximately 100 active
individual connections. Morning View Water Company's historical average daily demand
(ADD) for the years 2006 through 2007 was 167,000 gallons.
As an un-metered community, MVWC's ADD consumptive values are very high (2.9 to 3.4
times) in comparison with metered communities. MVWC should consider conservation
measures such as customer meters as well as a tiered rate structure. The ADD water use for the
current year (2008) is estimated at i 65,000 gallons, with an MDD of 412,500 gallons and a peak
hour demand (PHD) of 495,000 gallons. Water demand projections for the end of the 3-year
study period (2011) when full build out is realized are 217,800 gallons for ADD, 544,500
gallons for MDD, and 653,400 for PHD. Comparing Morning View's ADD with the metered
communities of Rexburg, Caldwell and Meridian shows the per connection water demand is
quite high. In the referenced communities the average per connection ADD is 580 gallons
compared with 1,668 gallons for MVWC.
Per capita ADD consumption for these communities ranges from 170 to 200 gpdpc. Assuming
225 people per connection as in Morning View, this equates to 742 gpd per connection. The
state ADD as reported by USGS for public water systems in Idaho for the year 2000 was 260
gpdpc or using 2.9 people per connection, 754 gpd per connection. Morning View's average
demand rate is 1668 gpd per connection.
Morning View's customer base is exclusively residentiaL. Given the rather insignificant demand
currently exerted by other uses, future water demand is estimated in this report solely on the
residential growth projected for the area.
"Unaccounted-For" Water
"Unaccounted-for" water is the difference betvveen the volume of water produced and the
volume of water sold to customers. Because the system is currently not metered, a comparison
of production and water sales cannot be made. Unaccounted-for-water in a metered community
is typically the result of system leakage or Ulmetered customers.
Demand Projections
Population Projections
Land uses surrounding the MVWC system is generally residential, single family homes. The
area immediately south of the platted subdivision has been platted and developed as single
family homes with individual wells. Immediately north is undeveloped land that has a potential
to be connected to the system if economic conditions are favorable. Economic variables include
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 15
rate structure, cost of development, and prevailing land prices.
Under the current system layout, it has been estimated that an additional sixteen stick built
homes will be added to the system as the remainder of the lots are sold and built on in Divisions
one through three of Morning View Acres. Also, sixteen more trailer sites are in Morning View
Acres, Division No 4. This will increase the total number of connections to 132 for the entire
system. No other growth has been estimated.
Future Water Demands
Currently, the MVWC system accommodates 225 people via 100 connections. Ultimately it is
conceived that the state average of 2.9 people per connection will be served via the same 100
connections plus the addition 16 lots in Divisions 1 -3 and 16 more lots in Division 4 making
a total of 132 connections and 383 people. It is anticipated that the 32 additional lots will be
built out by the end of the year in 2011 - three years from now. . Producing the following
results:
.. Current Estimated
ADD = 165,000 gpd
MDD = 412,500 gpd
. PHD = 495,000 gpd
.. 3- Year Planning Horizon
ADD in 2011 = 217,800 gpd
MDD in 2011 = 544,500 gpd
PHD in 2011 = 653,400 gpd
.. 20- Year Planning Horizon
ADD in 2026 = 280,867 gpd
MDD in 2026 = 702,166 gpd
PHD in 2026 = 842,600 gpd
While these proj ected water demands provide a basis for planning purposes and are used in
other portions of this report, they must be considered estimates. If growth from outside
development is allowed, then significant increases from the predicted annual rates will occur
and demands will be much higher than predicted. Unit demand patterns may also change and
these patterns would influence water needs for the community. Therefore, the projected
demands should be compared each year to actual demands. The timing for recommended
improvements can then be adjusted as needed.

CHAPTERS
Water Supply and Storage
Topics covered in this chapter include water rights, and anticipated water supply and storage
needs for the 3-year and 20-year planning horizons.
Water Rights
Table 5-1 contains water rights information for the MVWC. Refer to Appendix C for a copy
of the current water rights information. A water right permit is the authorization necessary
from the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) to begin construction of withdrawal
facilities and begin using water. A license is only issued once water has been used and
documentation of use is submitted and approved by the IDWR. A water rights permit does not
guarantee water for the appropriator. A decreed right is a water right that has been adjudicated
by the court. Under the prior-appropriation doctrine, the water right authorizes diversions of
water only to the extent that water is available.

Water Supply and Storage Requirements
Currently the only storage provided in the MVWC system is in the two 900 gallon pressure
tanks located in the pump house. This provides for a totaI storage capacity of 900 to 1200
gallons. However, this water is not immediately accessible to the distribution system because
it requires pressurized air to push the tanks contents into the system. This could be done
manually but an automatic air delivery system would make this water available during
outages or emergencies, thus increasing the available water before complete depletion is
realized.
Water Supply Criteria
The following is a list of key criteria outlined in the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems used to determine the timing and development of new water supply wells, storage,
and emergency power generation capability for the MVWC water system.
· ' The water system must have a sufficient number of water supply wells with backup
power to satisfy ADD or emergency storage equal to one day's ADD.
· The water system must have enough firm pumping capacity to satisfy MDD.
· Firm pumping capacity combined with additional storage must be sufficient to supply
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 17
Peak Hour Demand.
· Total system capacity including supply and storage must be sufficient to meet MDD
while maintaining a 20 psi residual throughout the system.
In this report, firm pumping capacity is defined as the production capacity of the water
supply wells in the system with the largest well out of service.
This chapter explores these criteria using the water demand projections listed in above, to
determine the capital improvements needed for the water system during the 3-year and 20-
year plan horizons.
Criterion 1: Emergency Power Required to Satisfy ADD
The first criterion involving ADD is used as a means of determining the emergency power
requirements for the MVWC water system during the 3-year and 20-year planning horizons.
A comparison of the available supply capacity of Well 1 (720,000 gpd), which is not equipped
with backup power, suggests that the MVWC water system currently does not have sufficient
backup power to supply ADD requirements now or for the projected 20 year horizon.
Criterion 1 Summary: Anticipated Emergency Power Requirements
Emergency backup power is currently needed.
Criterion 2: Firm Well Production Capacity Required to Satisfy MDD
The second criterion involving MDD during the 20-year planning period is used to
determine well supply requirements for the Morning View water system.
Current firm pumping capacity totals approximately 200 gpm or 288,000 gpd. MDD
requirements for current, 3 year, and 20 year are 412,500,544,500, and 702,166 respectively.
Existing supply will not satisfy these MDD requirements. In order to meet this criteria, the
Company will need an additional 90 gpm to meet current demands, 180 gpm to meet 3-year
demands, and 287 gpm to meet the 20-year demands.
Criterion 2 Summary: Anticipated Firm Capacity Requirements to Satisfy MDD
The Company will need to obtain additional water rights and construct a new wcll immediately
with a capacity of nearly 100 gpm similar to Well 1. Or, Well 3 will need to be upgraded
immediately with a capacity of 100 gpm to meet the current demand.
Criterion 3 Well Capacity and Storage Must to Satisfy PHD
The following is a list of assumptions that are used to calculate required well capacity and
storage volume required under these criteria:
· The PHD must be supplied for up to 8 hours.
· Firm well capacity is not less than MDD.
U sing this set of assumptions in conjunction with the MDD and PHD values cited earlier,
the storage needed to satisfy equalization, also referred to as peaking requirements:
0.17 MG of total storage required (Current).
0.22 MG of total storage required by 2011
0.28 MG of total storage required by 2026
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 18
CHAPTER 6
Distribution
This chapter describes the capacity ofMVWC's water distribution system. The distribution
system was evaluated under existing and future conditions.
Regulations
The Idaho DEQ has regulatory authority over public water systems in Idaho. In general,
DEQ's rules govern the quality of water distributed, but not the manner in which it is
distributed. However, the rules do contain basic construction standards and some of these
apply to distribution systems.
Significant rules for the distribution system analysis are summarized as follows:
· Distribution piping and the supply system shall be designed and installed so that the
pressure measured shall not be reduced below 40 pounds per square inch (psi) during
maximum hourly demand conditions.
· Distribution piping and the supply system shall be designed and installed so that the
pressure measured shall not be reduced below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) during
maximum hourly demand conditions (including fire flow).
· Wherever possible, dead ends shall be minimized by looping. Where dead ends are
installed, blow-offs of adequate size shall be provided for flushing.
· Wherever possible, booster pumps shall take suction from reservoirs to avoid the
potential for negative pressures on the suction line, which could result when the
pump suction is directly connecteà to a distribution main. Pumps that take suction
from distribution mains shall be provided with a low-pressure cutoff switch on the
suction side set at no less than 5 psi.
Peak Hour Demand Under Normal Operating Conditions
The PHD condition represents the average demand rate during the highest hour of water use
for the entire year. This is an extreme condition, but one that the system must be able to
supply. Since PHD has been estimated according to projected growth, the actual occurrence
in the system may be higher. It is also true that demands greater than MDD and approaching
the peak hour value will occur several times during a year.
The estimated 2008 PHD for the system is 495, 000 gpd. PHD can be provided in the
system with adequate pressures (Adequate means that pressures are maintained above 40
psi). Pressures under the current PHD can be maintained above 40 psi. As water demand
increases under peak conditions, pipeline velocity can begin to be a problem; however,
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 19
no pipes in the system exhibited velocities significantly greater than 4 fps. In summary,
no deficiencies were identified under current PHD.
Maximum Day Demand Under Normal Operating Conditions
The MDD condition represents the average demand rate over the highest day of water use
during the entire year. The water system must be designed to equal or exceed the MDD on a
firm capacity basis. When MDD is modeled under normal operating conditions, the distribution
system can provide water at adequate pressures.
The estimated MDD for 2008 is 412,500 gpd. No pipeline velocities greater than 4 fps were
identified and system pressures should remain above 40 psi.
Current System Evaluation
Current system demands have historically produced low pressures as shown by the pressure
survey and the numerous customer complaints. Based on the information given by the
operator and observation at the pump building the system appears to be capable of producing
the required flow at adequate pressures except during the irrigation season. It is
recommended to monitor pressures any location experiencing low pressure again during the
2009 irrigation season particularly after the installation of the water
meters.
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 20
CHAPTER 7
Water Quality and Regulations
This chapter includes relevant water quality regulation information for MVWC's reference,
with an accompanying description of how pertinent regulations affects the administration and
operation of the system. Surface water regulations are not discussed, as it is not anticipated
that Morning View will be utilizing surface water to meet current or future demands. As
discussed in previous chapters, the water system relies solely on groundwater as its source of
water. Generally, the quality ofthe groundwater is good, meeting current Federal- and State-
established regulatory limits for inorganic chemicals (lOCs), synthetic organic compounds
(SOCs), volatile organic chemical (VOCs), lead and copper, coliform, arsenic, and fluoride.
Sand in the water has been the primary water quality complaint and the only consent order
action item. Chapter 2 of this report identifies both DEQ's requirements and MVWC's
compliance with the consent order. With the installation of the current sand separator, the
sand problem appears to be taken care of. Continued monitoring as well as quantification of
sand in the production water should be completed. Quantifying the amount of sand produced
and determining the capacity of the sand separator wil likely reduce the amount of operator
maintenance required and provide tangible data for evaluation by the Company and
regulators.

CHAPTER 8
Capital Improvement Program
Recommended improvements from previous chapters are shown below and summarized in
this chapter, along with estimates of costs. Improvements are grouped chronologically
according to 3-year,and 20-year planning horizons.
Cost Estimating
Cost estimates for proposed improvements presented are Order-of-Magnitude cost estimates.
The American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) defines Order-of-Magnitude cost
estimates as estimates made without detailed engineering data. These estimates may be
developed using cost curves, scale-up or scale-down factors, or an approximate ratio. AACE
defines the accuracy for this level of estimate as plus 50 percent to minus 30 percent.
The cost estimates presented below have been prepared for guidance in project evaluation and
implementation from the information available at the time ofthe estimate. The final costs of
the project will depend on actual labor and material costs, competitive market conditions,
final project costs, implementation schedule and other variable factors. As a result, the final
project costs will vary from the estimate presented herein. Because ofthis, project feasibility
and funding needs must be carefully reviewed prior to making specific financial decisions to
help ensure proper project evaluation and adequate funding.
Water Meters
Purchase and installation of individual meters for each residence is based on a 3/4" meter,
meter base and meter box. Administrative, engineering, contingency, and legal fees are
expected to be an additional 25%. The anticipated cost of the installed meters for the MVWC
is $2,000 each x 100 customers = $200,000.
Variable Frequency Drives
The cost to purchase and install VFDs for both of the two wells is based on three phase power
and 10hp and 30 hp pumps for the wells~ Estimated cost for the VFD's is $10,000.
Backup Power Generator
Natural gas or diesel generated power to run the submersible pumps and controllers at the
pump building will require an 80 to 100 KW generator. Anticipated cost for purchase and
installation of the generator including concrete pad and weather enclosure is $40,000.
Dril Water Supply Well
The cost to drill a new well assumes 12-inch diameter open hole production weI 1 200 feet
Morning View Water Company
Final Facility Plan Page 22
deep, The estimate includes costs for a pilot hole and final production well, and assumes the
Company owns the well lot. A 30 percent allowance for contingency, engineering,
administration, and legal cost is included in the estimate. The estimated cost to drill a new
water supply well is $150,000.
