This proposal of doubling our rates is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. I want to first point out a
couple of things before any decisions are made from the PUC.
(1) Meter Readings. I received a letter from Morning View Water a few days ago with our meter readings. It
listed readings for the past year on the letter. I found this to be very odd since my meter was not installed
until Nov 2015 and yet there was meter readings listed for several months before that. How is that
possible? Fake numbers? It was interesting to see how much each month was different. It showed my usage
was more than double for June than it was for May of this year and yet I ran my sprinklers the exact same
each day both months since we had an early spring. Some how I used an extra 75,000 gallons
though. Weird. I also took my meter readings letter and compared it with several of my bordering
neighbors. This is where it got interesting. There were some months that my neighbor and I had the exact
same readings right down to the very gallon. How coincidental? Also, I have a family of 5. My neighbors are
families of 2 people with no children and yet their water usage was higher than mine on some months.
Interesting!
(2) Pressure. When the new well was finally up and running, it was very noticeable the difference in
pressure. I had HOPE at this time. It was finally functioning like it should have for the past 20 years. Since
then, the pressure is back to crap. I have personally called Nolan and Dawn several times and complained
about the issue. They always assure me that both wells are running which is very hard to believe. It seems
like we are back to square one with low pressure and lots of air in the lines. I can sit outside and watch my
sprinklers go from shooting 5 ft out and other times they shoot 30 ft out. The pressure fluctuates every 5 min
it seems. Also, I have noticed 3-4 new mobile homes being placed in the Morning View community. It is sad
to see that the problem with pressure will just continue to get worse with over 110 homes now using the
same well.
(3) Real Estate. When I bought my home in the Morning View subdivision almost 10 years ago, I was told by
my realtor that there were 5 homes per well. This was acceptable to me. But not 100+ homes on one
well. This is out of hand and ridiculous. I have asked many of my neighbors the same question and they were
all told the same when the bought their homes as well. I have no idea why all of the realtors have been told
this. Seeming like some bad lying or miscommunication has taken place over the years.
I would dare say that most people living within the Morning View Subdivision are barely getting by in life as it
is. Not a single one of us 100+ residents have the extra money to pay more for water. The current rates are
already out of hand and almost double compared to what people in town are paying. I feel that it should be
1
the responsibility of Nolan and Dawn to figure out a way to pay for the $530,000 loan . We as customers
should not be punished for something that should have been fixed years and years ago. Oh ya, what about
that contingency fund? Where does that extra $500+ go every month? Obviously not to the maintenance
and upgrades to the well and water system.

Comment: My family moved into the morning view subdivision in February of 2016. prior to moving into our new home
we put together a detailed budget that included everything we needed in order to live in our new home. we found that
our expenses almost perfectly matched our income, so we moved in. prior to our move in, we were not informed of the
proposed increase in the water rates. Now if the water bill does increase to the proposed amount, the money will have
to come from elsewhere in the budget, and we will have to go without something else. with this in mind we will not be
able to afford to live in this area if the water bill does increase so drastically. however we are trapped in our loan for the
next 9 years and cannot move out without paying a heavy tax penalty, which we also cannot afford. it is a most
worrisome problem indeed
