Comment: "I vehemently object to the sale of Eagle Water Company to SUEZ. I am an Eagle resident and customer of Eagle Water Company, and have been for over 10 years. The planned
rate hikes by SUEZ on Eagle Water customers is ridiculous and causes an unnecessary burden on existing residents. Do you realize that SUEZ sent us a postcard outlining our 300%+ rate
increases if they purchase Eagle Water company? It makes NO sense why they would do that -their reasons were all based on their own overhead and nothing to do with our current water
use (a fancy website billing system, which I won't use... increased customer service/personnel, which I won't use... treatment of water that's already far better than anywhere else in the
Valley, which they plan to mix with Boise River water, then re-treat...) -- why create more work for themselves unless they're planning on stealing and redistributing our water to other
customers around the valley, then make us pay for it? Why would any of us be okay with that?I have a slew of retired neighbors on fixed incomes, and it's hard enough on them that they're
paying more and more each year for property taxes - it's so much worse that they'll now have to pay +300% more for water they've enjoyed for 40+ years. Do you realize what will happen?
Folks will stop watering their lawns; they'll let the weeds grow and landscape die due to unplanned, unwanted, excessive water costs, causing the most beautiful city outside of Boise
to decline. I fear our water quality will decline with this company takeover as well... not improve. I oppose this sale and recommend a renegotiation take place in regards to how our
water is treated, keep its use solely for the current residents, and rates remain at or near the levels they are right now. I could understand a 10% or even 20% rate hike, but over 300%?
Absolutely NOT."

I received an email from Suez water with the PUC agenda . Suez did not provide the correctnumber, other than an order number, to file a comment with the PUC and the PUC web sitewill not accept the order number. Thus making it impossible it seems to comment.
IN THE MATTER OF THE JOINT APPLICATION OF SUEZ WATER IDAHO, INC., TOACQUIRE EAGLE WATER CO.I oppose the purchase of Eagle Water company by Suez Water.Many residents are not on an irrigation system thus must utilize city water for lawn, garden, orlivestock needs. There is no question Suez will dramatically increase rates on those currentlyobtaining water from Eagle Water Co. The hardest hit will be senior citizens, those on fixedincomes, and those without access to canal irrigation waters. The PUC should never haveallowed this action knowing they are negatively affecting seniors and low income citizens .
