Comment:As a water consumer,I understand the need for the water company to operate at a
profit,and thus and increase to the monthly water charge is reasonable.
According to an article appearing in the Coeur d’Alene Press,August 17,2013,“The company
proposes no change to its charge of 12 cents for every 100 gallons above 9,000 gallons per
month,but to encourage water conservation,IPUC staff proposes to set the charge at 22.4
cents for every 100 gallons of use above 6,000 gallons per month.”
The staff proposal is not reasonable.The water company’s proposal is geared to promote
conservation,while the IPUC staff proposal appears punitive in the extreme.
