SNB-W-22-01 NOTICE OF HEARING & ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER NO. 35619 This matter came before the Idaho Public Utilities Commission on the Commission Staff’s (“Staff”) request that we order Sunbeam Water (“Sunbeam” or “Company”) to appear and show cause why the Commission should not impose penalties for the Company’s continued, willful violations of its requirements under state law and the Commission’s rules that include failing to submit required annual reporting and fiscal documents to the Commission. Specifically, the Company has failed to submit five years of income statements beginning with 2017 and going through the available material for 2022. The Company has also failed to file its annual Gross Intrastate Operating Revenue (“GIOR”) reports for years 2017 through 2021. Finally, the Company failed to pay several years of regulatory fees, with interest, as required by Idaho Code §§ 61-1001 through 61-1005. See Exhibit A attached to Affidavit of Nancy Ashcraft, Exhibit 1. The Commission now provides this Notice of Hearing and orders the Company to appear and show cause as to why the Commission should not impose penalties as discussed below. JURISDICTION Sunbeam provides water service to the Garden Grove Estates Subdivision in Power County, Idaho. The Company operates a “Water system” as a “Water corporation” as defined by Idaho Code §§ 61-124 and 61-125. As such, the Company is a public utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. Idaho Code § 61-129. The Commission has jurisdiction over Sunbeam and the issues in this case under the Public Utilities Law, Idaho Code §§ 61-101 et seq., including Idaho Code § 61-501 (vesting the Commission with the “power and jurisdiction to supervise and regulate every public utility in the state and to do all things necessary to carry out the spirit and intent of” the Public Utilities Law), and Idaho Code § 61-701 et seq. (directing the Commission as to enforcement, penalties, and interpretation of Public Utilities Law). NOTICE OF HEARING & ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER NO. 35619 2 BACKGROUND On August 24, 2022, Staff communicated with the Company’s owner, Michael Parrish (“Mr. Parrish”), through email1 and scheduled a conference call with him to discuss how the Company might come into compliance with the Commission’s requirements. On August 25, 2022, Staff conducted a conference call (“Call”) with Mr. Parrish. Some of the contents of this Call were outlined in a subsequent letter from Staff. See Exhibit 2. During the Call, Staff discussed how neither the Company nor its preceding entity (Sunbeam Water Company, Inc.,) filed appropriate financial statements or statements that depict the Company’s GIOR for multiple years. Staff also heard Mr. Parrish’s concerns concerning the realities of coming into compliance with the Commission’s rules and regulations. Following the August 25, 2022, Call, several written communications were sent to Mr. Parrish. On August 30, 2022, Staff sent an email to Mr. Parrish. See Exhibit 3. This email gave a detailed account of what documents and fees the Commission needed from Mr. Parrish. It also provided a step-by-step process (including in-text hyperlinks) illustrating in clear terms not only what Mr. Parrish needed to do to come into compliance with the Commission’s requirements, but also how those steps could be taken. To that end, Staff’s August 30, 2022, letter also contained six relevant attachments in addition to the in-text hyperlinks that Staff felt would be helpful to Mr. Parrish. On September 1, 2022, Staff emailed the letter referenced above as Exhibit 2 to Mr. Parrish and sent the same to him via certified mail. See Exhibit 2. This letter reiterated which specific documents the Commission needed from the Company. It also referenced the problems which Mr. Parrish had outlined in the Call and proposed potential ways for the Company to come into regulatory compliance. Since sending the September 1, 2022, letter, Staff has continued to email Mr. Parrish reminders of his need to comply with the Commission’s regulatory requirements. More than one of these emails have included the instructions on becoming compliant included in Exhibit 3.2 1 All of Staff’s subsequent emails to Mr. Parrish were sent to the address that Mr. Parrish had responded from to coordinate the Call. 2 Staff sent Mr. Parrish emails requesting the Company come into compliance on September 26, 2022; October 11, 2022; and November 1, 2022. NOTICE OF HEARING & ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER NO. 35619 3 STAFF RECOMMENDATION According to Staff’s records, the Commission did not timely receive the Company’s verified GIOR reports for 2017 through 2021. Under Idaho Code § 61-1003, these reports are due by April 1st annually and cover a reporting period of the previous calendar year. Staff also needs five years of income statements beginning with 2017 and going through the available material for 2022. Finally, Staff notes that the Company has failed to pay several years of regulatory fees, with interest, as required by Idaho Code §§ 61-1001 through 61-1005. See Exhibit A attached to Affidavit of Nancy Ashcraft, Exhibit 1. As detailed above, Staff has made numerous attempts to contact Mr. Parrish. However, due in part to Mr. Parrish’s failure to communicate with Staff, Staff now recommends a Show Cause Hearing so that Mr. Parrish can account for his failure to continue working with Staff and explain to the Commission why Sunbeam has failed to comply with the Commission’s rules and regulations. COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND FINDINGS 1. Idaho Code §§ 61-401 and 61-406 Idaho Code § 61-401 states, “[e]very public utility shall furnish to the commission, in such form and such detail as the commission shall prescribe, all tabulations, computations and all other information required by it to carry into effect any of the provisions of this act and shall make answers to the best of their knowledge, to all questions submitted by the commission.” Further, Idaho Code § 61-406 states, “[e]very public utility shall obey and comply with each and every requirement of every order, decision, rule, or regulation made or prescribed by the commission in the matters herein specified, and shall do everything necessary or proper in order to secure compliance with and observance of every such order, decision, direction, rule, or regulation by all of its officers, agents and employees.” As outlined above and detailed in Exhibit A, the Company has repeatedly failed to meet its statutory duties and violated the Commission’s rules and regulations by failing to timely file GIOR and annual reports, and failing to regularly and fully pay its utility assessments on time. 2. Idaho Code §§ 61-1001 and 61-1003 Idaho Code § 61-1003 requires the Company to file annual verified returns showing gross operating revenues from its utility business in Idaho for the preceding calendar year. Idaho Code § 61-1001 requires the Company to pay the Commission an annual regulatory fee based on the Company’s annual verified return. NOTICE OF HEARING & ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER NO. 35619 4 The Company failed to file timely annual verified returns beginning in 2017 and going through the available material for 2022. The Company has also failed to file its annual GIOR reports for years 2017 through 2021. See Affidavit of Nancy Ashcraft, Exhibit 1. Each failure to file creates a distinct and unique cause of action. Idaho Code § 61-707. Also, the Company has failed to timely fully pay its annual regulatory fee for several years detailed in Exhibit A. The Commission assessed $50 per year because Staff could not calculate an accurate assessment amount due to the Company’s failure to submit annual verified returns. This amount could be adjusted once Staff obtains copies of Sunbeams verified returns based upon the information contained therein. 3. Idaho Code § 61-701, et seq. The Company may be liable for civil penalties for violations of the above-referenced statutes. Specifically, Idaho Code § 61-706 states: Any public utility which violates or fails to comply with any provisions of the constitution of this state or of this act, or which fails, omits or neglects to obey, observe or comply with any order, decision, decree, rule, direction, demand or requirement or any part or provision thereof, of the commission, under this act, in a case in which a penalty has not hereinbefore been provided for, such public utility is subject to a penalty of not more than $2,000 for each and every offense. Furthermore, Idaho Code § 61-707 states: Every violation of the provisions of this act or of any order, decision, decree, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission, under the provisions of this act, or any part or portion thereof, by any public utility, corporation or person is a separate and distinct offense, and in case of a continuing violation each day’s continuance thereof shall be and be deemed to be a separate and distinct offense. Accordingly, failure to comply with its statutorily enumerated duties exposes Sunbeam to up to $2,000 per day for each of Sunbeam’s numerous late filings. The exact amount of any penalty is within the discretion of the Commission as discussed above. 4. Communication and Contact Information The Commission is disappointed by the Company’s lack of communication with Staff. Accordingly, the Company must provide the Commission with reliable contact information (phone number(s), fax number(s), email addresses, mailing addresses, and physical addresses) by December 30, 2022. The Company is also directed to provide the Commission with updated NOTICE OF HEARING & ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE ORDER NO. 35619 5 contact information for the Company’s owner, Michael Parrish, including, telephone numbers, email addresses and a physical address by December 30, 2022.

BOX 399 Rockland, ID 83271 Dear Mr. Parrish: Eric Anderson, President John Chatbum, Commissioner John R. Hammond, Jr., Commissioner On August 25, 2022, you had a conference call with Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") regarding Sunbeam Water ("Company"). During the conference call, we outlined how neither Sunbeam Water (465708) nor its predecessor Sunbeam Water Company Inc., (180320) had filed financial statements or statements relating to Sunbeam's Gross Intrastate Operating Revenue ("GIOR") for several years. In turn, you outlined various barriers-including some unique problems the Company faces with its customers-that stand in the way of the Company becoming compliant with Commission requirements in an economically viable way. Commission Staff may recommend to the Commission that representatives from the Commission visit the service area and meet with the Company's owners and customers. Commission representatives would be able to gather feedback from the Company's customers, inspect the physical property including the Company's defective equipment, and relay to the customers the realities of their options for water service going forward. At this point, the next step for the Company is to provide the documentation requested in the August 30, 2022, email from Travis Culbertson. Specifically, the Commission needs five years of income statements starting with 2017 and going through what is currently available for 2022. The Commission also needs the GIOR for 2017 through 202 I. Failure to submit the necessary documents may result in civil penalties under Idaho Code§§ 61-706 -707, or other actions deemed appropriate by the Commission. cc: Travis Culbertson Maria Barran-Riley �/JfvvJ Michael Duval Deputy Attorney General I •LqµJ•WATERIL !us re 1oaula110n.Sunb<am\2022090I _Sunbcom_GIOR.docx 11331 W.

I look forward to assisting Sunbeam Water Company ("Sunbeam") in complying with the Idaho Statutes and Rules and Procedures. I am available to provide further answers should questions arise. As discussed during the meeting, I have attached some instructions about how to file Sunbeam's Gross Intrastate Operating Revenue ("GIOR'") for 2021. See Idaho Code § 61-1001. We have attached five GIOR forms for 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2021. Please fill them out and send them to Nancy Ashcroft or to me. There are some assessment fees that have not been paid. Idaho Public Utilities Commission ('"IPUC") will be sending a separate email that will include the balance due. Assessment fees are due May I 5th and any remaining balance not paid shall be paid on or before November 15111 of each year. If you need further information or have questions, please contact Nancy Ashcroft at (208)334-0325. To get Sunbeam in compliance with IPUC, Sunbeam needs to submit five years of financial statements, or income statements. We need 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. We would also like to see financial statements for 2022 as of July 31. They can be mailed to PO Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0074 or you can email the documents to me. Also I would like to encourage you to review our website. It is a great resource to get more information on utility regulation. Puc.idaho.gov. Our website contains applications from utilities who operate in various sectors (electric, natural gas, telecom, railroad, water. etc.). The one area that I would recommend is the "Water" paL!c. If you select Cases then select Water. you will be taken to a page similar to the one below. Here is where you can research open cases that are in process of being considered by the Commission. as well as closed cases that have been fully decided. You can also look at public information and also see the approved water tariffs of other water utilities. It is a great resource. Additionally, on the '·Water" page, if you select Small Water Company Information Packet, see red arrow and yellov.· highlight below, it will take you to another page that provides additional information. There you will find copies of rules, policies, Uniform System of Accounts, just lo name a few of the reference materials. The one that I would encourage reviewing is the link about rate case applications. It is found under the Rate Case section. There is a link titled, "Example of Rate Case Application" and other documents that provide more information and include instructions. The information there may help you file Sunbeam's next general rate case. As always. Staff is here to assist if you have questions. Here is a link to a general rate case that was submitted by a small water utility last year. It is worth noting that this utility has been regulated for a very long time; I have been involved reviewing their Tariffs and recent filings. I recommend looking at it, as it can be a good resource. Last note, just want to remind you that the Idaho Public Utilities Commission. through the Attorney General's Office. will be sending a letter to Sunbeam reflecting items that still need to be submitted to the Commission for Sunbeam to be in compliance. Those items include five years of annual reports (income statement starting in 2017 to 2021, plus 1 current information for 2022), and filing GIOR's (fill out the documents attached). If you would like some help with anything, please reach out, as I am more than willing to help. I hope that covers it. If you have any questions, please reach out.
