BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT APPLICATION OF SUEZ WATER IDAHO AND EAGLE WATER COMPANY FOR THE ACQUISITION OF EAGLE WATER COMPANY Case No. SUZ-W-18-02 EAG-W-18-01 SUPPLEMENTAL DIRECT TESTIMONY OF JARMILA CARY ON BEHALF OF SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC. June 8, 2021 1 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. BACKGROUND 1 Q. Please state your name and title. 2 A. Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance and Customer Service for SUEZ in Idaho 3 (“SUEZ” or “Company”) 4 Q. Are you the same Jarmila Cary who filed direct testimony in this proceeding 5 on November 15, 2018? 6 A. Yes, I am. 7 Q. What is the purpose of your supplemental testimony? 8 A. My supplemental testimony describes the financial revisions to the Company’s 9 filing as a result of the Settlement Agreement reached between Eagle Water 10 Company, H2O Eagle Acquisitions, LLC, SUEZ and the City of Eagle. The 11 agreement includes terms, as described in Witness Thompson’s supplemental 12 testimony, including a revised acquisition purchase price for the assets of the 13 Eagle Water Company (“Eagle Water”) water system, and a five-year phased-in 14 tariff increase for Eagle Water customers, if the proposed asset acquisition is 15 approved. 16 Q. Have you prepared updated Exhibits that show your analysis conclusions? 17 A. Yes. I am sponsoring Exhibit 1 Revised consisting of updated Schedules 1 18 through 3. The revisions from the original filing in 2018 for these exhibits reflect 19 the following changes: going from a three-year to a five-year phase-in; updated 20 capital project investments timing and amounts per Witness Cooper’s 21 supplemental testimony; and reflecting SUEZ’ most current approved tariff rates, 22 2 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. including a May 1, 2022 tariff rate change per Stipulation and Settlement for the 1 Company’s General Rate Case SUZ-W-20-02, Order 35030. 2 Schedule 1a Revised shows a revised five-year capital investment that would 3 benefit Eagle Water customers based on Witness Cooper’s supplemental 4 testimony. This schedule includes Eagle Water’s projected operating costs 5 (including recommended maintenance), and the resulting revenue deficiency. For 6 the sake of simplicity and comparability to the original 2018 filing, operating cost 7 assumptions remain generally unchanged as filed, with the exception of 8 deprecation calculated on the capital investments. 9 The financial analysis includes no inflation projections or subsequent operating 10 cost escalations in the ensuing years, utilizing Eagle Water’s 2017 reported 11 operating costs of $625,102 as the starting point, and projecting recommended 12 maintenance costs discussed in my 2018 testimony. For comparison the amount 13 reported by Eagle Water for their year ended 2020 operating costs is $662,509 per 14 their annual report to the Commission. The resulting revenue deficiency changed 15 from the original $1,922,839 as filed in 2018 to $2,087,657 based on the updated 16 capital investment costs calculated by Ms. Cooper. 17 Schedule 1b Revised calculates the percentage rate increase that the revenue 18 requirement deficiency would support for Eagle Water over its existing rates. The 19 original filing in 2018 for the revenue deficiency supported a 256% increase over 20 existing Eagle rates, and the updated schedule with revised capital investments 21 support a 268% increase. 22 3 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. Schedule 2 Revised is an analysis of the expected rate impact to Eagle Water 1 customers with a five-year rate phase-in starting with 50% of existing SUEZ 2 rates, then transitioning to 62.50% of SUEZ’ May 1, 2022 phased-in approved 3 rates, until rates are 100% of SUEZ approved tariff rates in year five. The analysis 4 uses an average bill calculation which approximates Eagle Water’s 2017 reported 5 revenues of $760,105 with year-end average customers of 3,834 and a reported 6 470,737,003 thousand gallons sold, which appears to be an error. The 2020 year-7 end revenues reported on Eagle Water’s annual report to the Commission total 8 $683,036, with an average of 4,403 customers using year end reported numbers, 9 and 771,879 thousand gallons of water sold. 10 Schedule 3 Revised summarizes the proposed phased-in tariff rates and 11 incorporates SUEZ’ most recent approved rates and the impact of the May 1, 12 2022 phase-in rate change. 13 The average monthly bill components remain unchanged from the 2018 Exhibit 14 for comparability with the exception of updated customer numbers. A Residential 15 customer’s average monthly bill using a ¾” meter and 16 hundred cubic feet 16 (CCF) of consumption produces a bill of $12.35 at current Eagle Water Company 17 rates. At 50% of existing SUEZ rates, that amount would be $19.48. In year two 18 after SUEZ’ approved May 1, 2022 rate change, at 62.5% of SUEZ rates, the 19 Residential customer’s average monthly bill would be $25.55, at year three at 20 75% the average bill would be $30.66, at year four at 87.5% the average bill 21 would be $35.77, and in year five at 100%, the average monthly bill would be 22 $40.88. 23 4 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. A Commercial customer’s average monthly bill using a 1 and ½” meter and 75 1 hundred cubic feet (CCF) of consumption produces a bill of $38.96 at current 2 Eagle Water Company rates. In year one under SUEZ’ approved May 1, 2022 3 rate change, with a phase in of 50% of SUEZ rates that bill would be $79.19. In 4 year two, at 62.5% of SUEZ rates that bill would be $103.87. In year three at 75% 5 of SUEZ rates that bill would be $124.64. In year four at 87.5% that bill would 6 be $145.42, and at 100% in year five that bill would be $166.19. If actual 7 consumption is higher or lower than the average calculated, the overall bill would 8 also be lower or higher. 9 Q. Please discuss your financial analysis supporting the updated purchase price. 10 A. As derived from the most recent Eagle Water annual report to the Commission, 11 Eagle Water’s calculated level of rate base as of December 31, 2020 was 12 ($1,719,415). This is a reduction in rate base of $510,623 from the 2017 13 calculated rate base level of ($1,208,792). The 2020 rate base figure is 14 represented by the Eagle Water Plant In Service of $3,296,681, less Accumulated 15 Depreciation & Amortization of $1,716,405 less $3,411,319 booked as 16 Contributions in Aid of Construction (“CIAC”), plus a working capital amount of 17 $82,814 representing one-eighth of $662,509 Operating and Maintenance 18 expenses (including regulatory commission fees). 19 The Company is aware from discussions with Commission Staff and its own 20 review of past Eagle Water filings with this Commission, that Eagle Water books 21 and records may not accurately reflect its current rate base and capitalized assets 22 due to prior accounting inconsistencies. The Company’s assumption for purposes 23 5 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. of analysis discussed in my testimony is that the Eagle Water rate base would be 1 set to zero. 2 SUEZ is asking the Commission to recognize the full $10.5M updated purchase 3 price plus reasonable and customary acquisition costs as an acquisition adjustment 4 for rate making purposes. This treatment will allow SUEZ to recover the full 5 purchase price, transaction and closing costs in rates. Furthermore, this treatment 6 will allow SUEZ to make the capital improvements necessary to meet existing 7 regulatory requirements and modernize the Eagle Water system, providing 8 customers with 24-hour emergency response by trained qualified professionals, 9 conveniences such as electronic billing and notifications, access to conservation 10 resources, website monitoring with hourly consumption data for advanced AMI 11 installed meters, and variety of payment options including electronic payments. 12 The asset purchase agreement makes SUEZ’ obligation to close the purchase 13 contingent upon, among other things, a favorable rate treatment of the purchase 14 price. The $10.5M purchase price represents an approximate investment per 15 customer of $2,534 based on a March 25, 2021 updated customer list of 4,144 16 active Eagle Water customers. 17 For comparison, SUEZ’ investment per customer is approximately $3,720. This 18 calculation is based on the April 2021 balance of Gross Plant in Service of 19 $525,739,045 less Advances in Aid of Construction of $3,944,164 and less 20 Contributions in Aid of Construction of $15,962,325 for a plant investment of 21 $370,832,557. The $370,832,557 plant investment divided by the April 2021 22 number of SUEZ Active Service Agreements of 99,675, produces an estimated 23 6 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. investment of $3,720 per SUEZ customer. Additional justification for the 1 purchase price is discussed in Mr. Thompson’s supplemental testimony and is 2 based on an estimated capital cost investment avoidance of $11.2M as described 3 in Ms. Cooper’s supplemental testimony. 4 Q. Please discuss the update to the anticipated acquisition closing costs. 5 A. The Company is requesting that all of its acquisition costs through closing of the 6 purchase be capitalized and amortized as part of the requested acquisition 7 adjustment. These costs would include legal fees, costs for obtaining surveys and 8 extended coverage title insurance for the acquired real property assets, preparation 9 and prosecution of the Joint Application and SUEZ’ share of closing/escrow 10 costs. SUEZ’ acquisition costs as of April 2021 total approximately $565k 11 consisting predominantly of legal fees, ALTA (American Land Title Association) 12 surveys, notices and communication costs, and an estimated $6,000 for extended 13 coverage title insurance for the acquired real property assets. The Commission 14 has previously allowed recovery of such prudent acquisition costs in prior case 15 filings. 16 Q. Please discuss the updated projected capital investment that will directly 17 benefit the Eagle Water system customers. 18 A. Ms. Cooper’s supplemental testimony includes the projected capital investment 19 that would directly benefit Eagle Water system customers, which totals $14.626 20 million. These investments are included in Exhibit 1, Schedule 1a at line 43 at 21 column F. 22 7 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. Q. Based on the projected capital investment and Eagle Water operating costs, 1 what would Eagle Water’s revenue requirement and the impact on Eagle 2 Water Customer tariff rates be assuming those investments were made and 3 costs were incurred by Eagle Water? 4 A. Exhibit 1, Schedule 1a Revised details my analysis of the anticipated financial 5 impact over the five years with anticipated capital investments, normalized 6 depreciation expense, and operating costs Eagle Water would be expected to incur. 7 The result for Eagle Water is a projected revenue deficiency of $2,087,657 which 8 is $164,818 higher than the $1,922,839 included in the 2018 testimony & original 9 exhibits, with all other factors remaining unchanged from original filing exhibits. 10 As summarized in Exhibit 1, Schedule 1b Revised, that Revenue deficiency would 11 support a 268% rate increase for Eagle Water Company over its existing rates. The 12 actual impact of an increase in rates on a customer bill would be highly dependent 13 on the actual quantity of water used and the meter size. Applying that increase to a 14 calculated average Eagle Water customer and using Eagle Water’s current tariff 15 structure, the average customer bill would result in a projected average monthly 16 increase of $34.27 for Residential customers, going from a $12.35 average monthly 17 bill at existing rates to a $46.62 monthly bill. The impact to Commercial customers 18 under Eagle Water Company tariff rates would be an estimated average monthly 19 increase of $108.08, going from a $38.96 average monthly bill at existing rates to 20 a $147.04 monthly bill. 21 Q. Please explain how the average monthly bill was calculated? 22 8 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. A. The calculations for the average monthly bill remain unchanged from the 2018 1 testimony and exhibits. The average Residential monthly bill is calculated using a 2 3/4” meter fixed charge and a 30% winter / 70% summer consumption pattern based 3 on Eagle Water’s 2017 water sold data with an estimated 16 ccf (hundred cubic 4 feet) of monthly water usage. 5 The average Commercial customer monthly bill is calculated using a 1-1/2” meter 6 fixed charge with a 15% winter / 85% summer consumption pattern based on Eagle 7 Water’s 2017 water sold data with an estimated 75 ccf (hundred cubic feet) of 8 monthly water usage. 9 Q. What would the revenue requirement and the impact on Eagle Water 10 customer tariff rates be with the proposed SUEZ acquisition and five-year rate 11 phase in? 12 A. SUEZ projects that Eagle Water would experience an increased revenue 13 requirement of $2,087,657 requiring a related rate increase of approximately 268% 14 if it were to continue operating the system and make the recommended system 15 upgrades. Though it is expected that Eagle Water operating expenses may grow as 16 commodity prices, wages and other costs may go up from year to year, for the sake 17 of simplicity the analysis does not factor in any consumer price index annual cost 18 increases. 19 If the Eagle Water assets are acquired, upgraded and operated by SUEZ consistent 20 with the plans described in Ms. Cooper’s testimony, a transition to full SUEZ rates 21 as proposed in the Application would produce estimated revenues of $2,028,636 22 using an updated March 25, 2021 active customer count of 4,144 provided by Eagle 23 9 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. Water Company showing 3,629 Residential and 515 Commercial customers. This 1 would be an approximate 261% increase over Eagle Water’s existing rates as shown 2 in Exhibit 1, Schedule 2 Revised at row 10-12, column AL. 3 With a five-year rate phase-in and using the same average customer bill 4 determinants as above, SUEZ projects that Eagle Water Residential customers 5 would see an approximate monthly increase of $7.13 in their billings in year one, 6 in which their rate would be at 50% of SUEZ’ existing rates. In year one, the 7 average Eagle Water Residential customer would see their bill increase from a 8 current monthly cost of $12.35 to $19.48, a 58% increase. In year two, they would 9 see an approximate monthly increase of $6.07 or 31% increase for an average 10 monthly bill of $25.55 based on 62.5% of SUEZ’ May 1, 2022 phased in rates. In 11 year three through five, they would see an approximate monthly increase of $5.11, 12 with an average monthly bill of $30.66 with a 20% increase, then $35.77 with a 13 17% increase and finally $40.88 for a 14% increase in year five at 100% of SUEZ’ 14 existing rates. 15 Eagle Water Commercial customers would realize an approximate monthly 16 increase of $40.23 in year one, going from Eagle Water’s existing rates and a 17 current average monthly bill of $38.96 to $79.19 at 50% of SUEZ’ existing rates, 18 an increase of 103%. In year two, they would see an approximate monthly increase 19 of $24.68 for an average monthly bill of $103.87 based on 62.50% of SUEZ’ May 20 1, 2022 phased in rates, an increase of 31%. In year three through five, they would 21 see an approximate monthly increase of $20.77, with an average monthly bill of 22 $124.64 for a 20% increase, then $145.42 after a 17% increase, and finally $166.19 23 10 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. based on 100% of SUEZ’ existing rates, a 14% increase. These proposed rates are 1 summarized in Exhibit 1, Schedule 3 Revised and reflected in the table below. 2 3 4 5 The overall increase over the full five-year phase-in period to SUEZ’ rates using 6 the average bill calculations would result in an approximate increase of 231% for 7 Residential customers and an increase of 327% for Commercial customers, both 8 are dependent on level of consumption and meter size. 9 Additionally, as described in Mr. Thompson’s November 2018 Direct testimony on 10 page 9 and my February 2019 response to Second Production Request of the 11 11 CARY, SUPPLEMENTAL DI SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. Commission Staff to SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. No. 46, the Company is proposing 1 that new customers moving into the former Eagle Water Company service territory 2 after acquisition, would not be included in the phase-in. Post-closing any newly-3 established customer accounts would commence service at regular SUEZ rates. 4 This is consistent with the Commission’s prior order concerning this issue. 5 Commission Order 27798 in UWI-W-98-2, regarding United Water Idaho Inc.’s 6 acquisition of South Water Company stated on page 10, “We find that new 7 customers in the South County area, whether new by the result of new construction 8 or sale/purchase, are not subject to rate shock and cannot be perceived as having 9 any reasonable expectation of lower South County rates.” 10 Q. What would the impact be to Eagle Water customer rates should SUEZ’ tariff 11 rates change during the five year phase-in period? 12 A. Should a Commission approved rate change take place for SUEZ during the five 13 year Eagle Water rate phase-in period, Eagle Water customer rates would be phased 14 in at the corresponding percentage of SUEZ’ new rates rather than existing rates 15 reflected in Exhibit 1 Schedule 2 Revised. Once Eagle Water customers are at 100% 16 of SUEZ tariff rates, they would also be subject to any future tariff changes 17 approved by the Commission. 18 Q. Does this conclude your testimony? 19 A. Yes it does. 20 Case No. SUZ –W-18-02 SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC. Direct Testimony of Jarmila Cary EXHIBIT 1 Schedules 1a, 1b, 2 and 3 (4 PAGES) Exhibit No. 1 Revised Case No. SUZ-W-18-02 J.
