Re: SUZ-W-20-01
Dear PUC Commissioners:
I am submitting these comments in opposition to the Contributions in Aid of Construction or CIAC.
When I learned about a new fee being charged by Suez and authorized by the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(Contributions in Aid of Construction or
•Contributions in Aid of Construction which is an additional 21.5% to the cost of the water system.
•The cost would increase the price of each home over $2,500 per home.
•The new CIAC fee creates a distinct competitive disadvantage to private systems. Since the CIAC charges
only apply to private water systems, the increased costs are inequitably charged to new development
depending on its water provider.
•If a new development is served by a private water system like SUEZ, the CIAC is charged; but the fee is
not charged if the development is served by a government owned water system.
Thank you for taking our comments into consideration.
Sincerely,
