CASE NO. PIC.W-22-OI
COMMENTS OF THE
COMMISSION STAFF
STAFF OF the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, by and through its Attorney of record,
Riley Newton, Deputy Attomey General, submits the following comments.
BACKGROUND
On April 19, 2022, Picabo Livestock Company, Inc. ("Company") notified the
Commission that it had formed a new entity-Picabo Water System-with a separate set of books,
and a new Employer Identification Number, to provide water service under Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity ("CPCN") No. 220.' The Company requested Commission
authorization to amend CPCN No. 220 and related tariffs to reflect the name change. The
Company proposed an April 30,2021, effective date.
I Certificate of Convenience and Necessity No. 220 was granted to Picabo Livestock Company, Inc. in 1955 to supply
water to the residents of the unincorporated town or community of Picabo, Idaho.

ISTAFF COMMENTS MAY 25,2022
The Company is a Commission-regulated water corporation serving 35 residential
customers and four commercial customers in and around the city of Picabo in Blaine County,
Idaho.
The Company represented that the change to its name will have no impact on customers,
who will continue to receive water service under the same rates, terms, and conditions as are
currently in effect. The Company represented that it will make corresponding changes to bills,
reports, and other documents to reflect the name change.
STAFF REVIEW
Staff reviewed the Company's Application and other necessary documents to confirm that
the requested name change will not harm customers. Staff confirmed that the submitted tariffs
reflecting the name change have the same rates, terms, and conditions as the tariffs currently on
file with the Commission. Staff reviewed the Secretary of State website and noted2 the name
"Picabo Water System LLC," was adopted on December 15, 2021. Staff recommends the
Company use the name "Picabo Water System LLC" in the amended CPCN No. 220 and tariffs.
In the Company's last general rate case,3 Staff recommended the Company remove the
accounting function of the water system from the Parent Company's financial system and create a
stand-alone entity to improve the accuracy of the water system reports and records.4 Since then,
the Company has taken the necessary steps to create a stand-alone entity. Staff worked with the
Company to update the tariffs with the correct name, which are included as Attachment A. To
ensure consistency with other legal entities, Staff reviewed documents from the Internal Revenue
Service and the Idaho Secretary of State, which confirm the use of the full company name, Picabo
Water System LLC. See Attachment B. Staff recommends the Commission authorize the
Company's name change to Picabo Water System LLC and adopt the new tariffs included as
Attachment A.
As of May 25,2022, there have been no public comments submitted.
2 See website sosbiz.idaho.gov, which Staff used to validate name change with Idaho Secretary of State's Office.

5.1 Rates charged for water service and supply shall be those published
in the Company's tariff and approved by the Commission.
6. BILLING AND PAYMENT
6.1 All Customers shall be billed on a regular basis as identified on the
applicable rate schedule.
6.2 If the system is metered, the Company shall try to read the meters
prior to each billing unless specified differently on the applicable
rate schedule. If the Company's meter reader is unable to gain
access to the premises to read the meter, or in the event the meter
fails to register, the Company will estimate the Customer's water
consumption for the current billing period based on known
consumption for a prior similar period or average of several
periods. Subsequent readings will automatically adjust for
differences between estimated and actual. Bills based on estimated
consumption shall be clearly marked as "estimated".
6.3 All bills shall clearly indicate the balance due, and may be due and
payable no less than 15 days after the date rendered. All bills not
paid by due date may be considered delinquent and service may be
disconnected subject to the provisions of the UCRR.
6.4 A Late Payment Charge may be levied against any delinquent
account. All payments received by the next billing date shall be
applied to the Customer's account prior to calculating the Late
Payment Charge.

provided for less than one month.
6.6 Owners of premises with one or more condominiums, buildings,
stores, apartments or any other divisions of like or similar

desires that the occupant of each division will be responsible for her
or her respective bill, such transfer of responsibility will not be
accepted or recognized by the Company until the plumbing
arrangements of the building or premises are so changed by the
owner or his or her agent as to permit the Company, to its

property line or at any other reasonable location on the Customer's
premises that is mutually agreed upon.

Customer's premises at all reasonable hours for the purpose of
obtaining meter readings. In the event of recurring inaccessibility
the Company may, at its option and after notifying the customer,
relocate its metering equipment at the Customer's expense.
7.3 The Company shall be responsible for the maintenance of its
metering equipment. Meters are considered to be sufficiently
accurate if tests indicate that meter accuracy is within + 2 percent.
When for any reason a meter fails to register within these limits of
accuracy, the Customer's use of water shall be estimated on the
basis of available data and charges shall be adjusted accordingly.
Corrected bills shall then be sent out to the customer and additional
payment or refund arrangements shall be made in accordance with
the UCRR.
7.4 The Company reserves the right to test and/or replace any meter.
Upon deposit of a "Meter Testing Fee" by a Customer, the Company
will test the Customer's meter. If the test indicates that the meter
over-registers by more than 2 percent, it shall be replaced with an
accurate meter at no cost to the Customer and the "Meter Testing
Fee" shall be refunded and water bills shall be adjusted in
accordance with the UCRR. Meter Testing Fees shall require prior
approval by the Commission.
7.5 At the Company's discretion, un-metered Customers may be
converted to metered service if such transition occurs in a planned,
systematic manner without unreasonable discriminations and if the
Company has an approved metered rate.

by direct pressure from the Company's mains should install a
pressure relief valve, or other device to serve the same purpose, so

equip plumbing with a relief valve will be billed to the Customer.
8.5 The Company is not obligated to perform any service whatever in
locating leaks or other trouble with the customer's piping.

9.1 The service connection is the property of the Company and as such,
the Company is responsible for its installation and maintenance. It
consists of piping, curbstop and valve or meter box and a meter, if
the system is metered. The service connection transmits water
from the Company's water main to a valve or meter box generally
located near the Customer's property line. All piping, valves or
appliances beyond this point shall be the property and
responsibility of the Customer.
9.2 The Company reserves the right to designate the size and location
of the service line, curbstop, meter (if applicable) and meter or
valve box and the amount of space which must be left unobstructed
for the installation and future maintenance and operation thereof.
9.3 Where a service connection is desired for premises on which there
is no permanent structure, the Company will install a service
connection to said premises only upon payment by the applicant of
the estimated cost of said service connection. If within a period of
five (5) years from the installation of said service connection a
permanent structure is erected on the premises, the Company will
refund, with interest, the difference between any approved new
Customer charges in effect at the time of connection, and the
applicant's advance.
9.4 The extra costs of any out-of-the-ordinary circumstances requiring
additional equipment or special construction techniques involved in
the installation of a service connection will be agreed to in advance
by the Customer and the Company.
