Comment: "Suez just lies. It says it has good customer service and timely responses, etc. All garbage. I'm an appriaser who who has talked to between 50-100 homeowners ( mostly United
) that have been stuck with suez and not one, NOT ONE, has any thing good to say about suez. They lied to United Water users when they took it over years age. There customer service is
non existent, you can't get ahold of representatives if you have a problem. They will treat customers like a necessary evil if the PUC allow's them to get a foot in the door. Take pity on
Eagle Water users and don't let the fox in the hen house. Somebody has to take a stand against these conglomerates."

Comment: "Eagle Water Company’s water is the best around. It’s healthy, clean, and tastes great. Our neighbors in Boise have posted pictures on Nextdoor of odious colored, foul
smelling muck that Suez has a history of providing. Selling Eagle Water Company to Suez could potentially jeopardize our health. The increase costs that Suez will enact will have
negative impacts on our community. If approved, homeowner rates will increase by over 230% within 4 years, and that’s only the beginning isn’t it? Our business community will
suffer even higher increases, and be forced to pass on increased costs of doing business to us, their customers. Nowhere does Suez state that the 2025 rates will satisfy their greed. Suez has
agreed to pay Eagle Water Company many times over what it’s actual worth. Why should the residents of Eagle be forced to pick-up this tab? Eagle Water Company should not be sold to a
foreign entity of ill repute that has no vested interest in the welfare of our community or our country. Approval of this purchase furthers the enrichment of a corporation to the degradation
of our community. "

Comment: "The proposed purchase of the Eagle Water System by Suez Water reminds me of what has happened in the drug industry. Recently a company bought out another and
drastically raised the price of a critical drug. The only change was the company name. But the tripling of the price was justified by the need to pay back the new owners investment. The
consumer got nothing out of this and had no choice but to continue buying, just like the water users in Eagle. Let the City buy the company."
