Eagle ldaho,83616
Name of Utility Company: Eagle Water
Comment: The sale of Eagle Water to SUEZ Water is an example of a typical corporate entity trying to take advantage of
a local company/utility for nothing but a profit. As SUEZ stated in their letter to current Eagle Water users, they WILL be
increasing rates immediately. lt's been a blessing having Eagle Water as our water supplier here in Eagle, BECAUSE they
haven't had that corporate attitude of "stick to the consumer" or they would have raised our rates awhile ago. I have
stated to the office personnel "l would gladly pay any increase in rates to keep it a privately owned company". SUEZ
makes it out like it's a bad thing Eagle Water hasn't raised their rates. SUEZ is already claiming the increase in rates will
be for our lines that need repair. How will they pay for that, the same way Eagle Water would pay for it, raise our rates.
SUEZ will come in here and do nothing, even after raising our rates, because they are not from here and could care less
about a out of state consumer. Are the other big water utilities taking care of the sudden discovery of high lead contents
in an abundance of failed tests, I doubt it. Eagle water has done a great job with up front information on all tests
performed and keeping our water within all required specifications.
AGAIN I say " I would gladly pay ANY increase in rate to EAGLE WATER to keep the utility out of money grubbing, out of
state, heartless corporate greedy hands and to pay for any upgrades needed".
Don't do it commissioners, PLEASE! lt's a bad idea and it's wronB.
Thank you, a concerned resident of Eagle ldaho.
