Comment: "I am writing in support of the Suez petition regarding the CIAC tax. This taxincreases the cost of providing infrastructure to new home communities. Specifically, we paid
over $67,000 in this tax for our Williamson River Ranch project in Eagle. This tax makes newhousing more expensive and seems to us to be a misguided program. Thanks. Jeff Stoddard"

Comment: " Our small community (Riverland Terrace) consists of 29 dwellings of which atleast 17 are owner occupied by retired seniors on fixed income. The project to connect with
the SUEZ water system and abandon three wells we own was necessitated by DEQ regulationswhen higher than normal arsenic levels were found in our water supply shortly after several
Harris Ranch subdivisions started bordering our community. Compliance with DEQregulations would have required expensive upgrades estimated in the hundreds of thousands of
dollars to our three wells, well beyond what the community felt it could afford. Optionsavailable to us were limited and it was felt that the better option was to hook up with Suez
water. Unfortunately, the cost of this transition is turning out to be higher than expected. Thisis due in part by high contractor costs quoted by Suez as well as a tax levied by the Idaho
Public Utility Commission on new developer projects. We feel that this is an unfair tax thatSuez intends to pass on to us. Furthermore our subdivision is not part of a new developer
project as we have been in existence since the 1970s. Since our residents are already burdenedwith the high costs related to this project, this seems to be an additional burden to pass on. We
respectfully request that you waive this fee that our community certainly cannot afford.Respectfully, 6600 GLACIER Josh Issac 208-440-4762 6601 GLACIER Charles, Cindy Barto
