INTRODUCTION AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
Schweitzer Water Company
1. Schweitzer Water is an Idaho corporation formed in May 2023 (under the original
name of Husky Water Company) to acquire the water distribution assets that provide water
service in and around the Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Boundary County, Idaho. On October
27, 2023, Husky Water Company filed Articles of Amendment with the Idaho Secretary of State

SCHWEITZER WATER COMPANY APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
ACQUISITION - 3
61730.0002.15845192.13
changing its name to Schweitzer Water Company. Schweitzer Water is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Alterra Mountain Company U.S. Inc. (“Alterra”). A copy of the Articles of
Incorporation and Articles of Amendment of Schweitzer Water is attached as Exhibit No. 0001.
2. On August 22, 2023, Alterra, through its wholly owned subsidiary Husky
Mountain Acquisition Inc., acquired the Schweitzer Mountain Resort assets from Schweitzer
Mountain LLC. Resort Water, a subsidiary of Schweitzer Mountain LLC, sold its water company
assets to Schweitzer Water as of the same date.
3. Alterra currently owns and operates 17 ski resorts in North America. More
information about Alterra can be found at its website: https://www.alterramtnco.com/. In
conjunction with Alterra’s ownership and operation of its various resorts, Alterra also operates
water systems and wastewater water treatment plants at various resort properties.
4. Alterra intends to retain the employees of Resort Water to continue to operate the
water utility assets at Schweitzer Mountain Resort that are being transferred from Resort Water
to Schweitzer Water. Alterra, and by extension, Schweitzer Water, has substantial experience in
operating resort water systems and wastewater systems. Alterra and its subsidiaries have
acquired water utilities in Vermont, California, Utah, and Washington. These acquisitions and
the continued operation of these water utilities were seamless, with no interruptions to
customers’ service. This experience has carried over to Schweitzer Water’s acquisition of the
Resort Water assets.
5. For additional information regarding Alterra’s water company operating
experience, as well as an explanation as to why this asset transfer from Resort Water to

SCHWEITZER WATER COMPANY APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
ACQUISITION - 4
61730.0002.15845192.13
Schweitzer Water is in the public convenience and necessity,2 please see the accompanying
prefiled testimony of Jennifer Brownlie, Alterra’s General Counsel and Vice President of
Schweitzer Water, and Tom Trulock, Vice President, Schweitzer Water, and former President of
Resort Water.
6. Alterra has financial resources and access to capital markets to sufficiently
capitalize Schweitzer Water to acquire Resort Water’s water systems and to provide sufficient
working capital to Schweitzer Water so that it can operate the water utility. Schweitzer Water has
the bona fide intent and financial ability to continue to provide safe and reliable water utility
service and to operate and maintain the water system in the public service,3 as is demonstrated
by the accompanying testimony and exhibits of Ms. Brownlie. As further discussed in the
testimony of Ms. Brownlie, Alterra will make additional cash infusions in Schweitzer Water in
order to finance the future construction and expansion of the Water Utility.4
Resort Water
7. Resort Water owns two water supply and distribution systems that serve more
than 550 customers in Bonner County, Idaho. The first system is owned and operated by Resort
Water under CPCN No. 445 issued by the Commission on June 16, 2005 (the “Resort System”).
The Resort System has 770 total ERUs, with 538 ERUs currently active, 89 inactive committed,
and 143 available. See T. Trulock Di, p. 2.

8. The second system that Resort Water owns and operates was originally owned
and operated by Acme Water Works, Inc. under CPCN No. 518 issued by the Commission on
February 18, 2015 (the “Ridge System”). Id. The Ridge System was acquired by Resort Water in
a federal tax sale in 2016 and quiet title action in late 2017. Id. It has been operated by Resort
Water since January 1, 2018, but without amendment to or transfer of Acme’s CPCN No. 518.
Id. The Ridge System has 118 total ERUs with 28 active, 60 inactive committed, and 30
available. Id.

a more detailed description of the rates for each water system, see the accompanying testimony
and exhibits of Mr. Trulock.
12. The cost of and rates for supplying water service by the Company will not be
increased by reason of the purchase of the assets of Resort Water.7 See J. Brownlie Di, p. 7.
Schweitzer Water will work with the Commission and Commission Staff to update tariffs to
reflect both the Resort System and the Ridge System existing tariff rates.
13. Schweitzer Water submits that the Transaction is in the public interest. Through
this Transaction, Schweitzer Water will come into full compliance with Idaho law regarding water
service to former customers of Resort Water and the Ridge System. The Transaction will provide
access to capital that is not currently available to Resort Water via Schweitzer Water’s parent
company, Alterra. Schweitzer Water will continue to maintain the current expertise in operating a
regulated water utility by retaining the same key employees, procedures, and licensed officials of
Resort Water. See J. Brownlie Di, pp. 6 - 7. Schweitzer Water also will maintain the existing
rates and other charges and will maintain or improve the level of services currently provided.
14. As noted above and as further explained in the accompanying testimony of Ms.
Brownlie, Schweitzer Water, via Alterra, has the financial resources and access to capital to
purchase the assets of Resort Water and to fund its future infrastructure needs.
15. Resort Water employees and associated contractors and operators will maintain
their same roles for Schweitzer Water. Id. Schweitzer Water will continue operations with the

existing management structure of Resort Water, including the former President of Resort Water,
Tom Trulock, and without any known or expected turnover in the personnel who maintain the
operations of the Water Utility.
16. Robert Lesniewski, the current licensed water system operator for Resort Water,
will continue to serve as the licensed water system operator for the water systems once
transferred to Schweitzer Water. Id. Robert Lesniewski holds license numbers DWT2 – 21755
and DWD2 – 22079, and his business address is: 165 Village Lane, Suite A, Sandpoint, ID
83864. Id.

jurisdiction of the Commission.
18. Schweitzer Basin Water LLC, and Spires Water Company, two unrelated and
regulated water utilities, also provides water service in an around the service area of Resort
Water.8 If there is an expansion of the water distribution system of the Schweitzer Water, this
expansion may compete with a future expansion of Schweitzer Basin Water LLC and/or Spires
Water Company.
19. Maps and a legal description showing the distribution systems of Resort Water,
Schweitzer Basin Water and Spires Water are attached as exhibits to the testimony of Mr.
Trulock.9

9 Commission Rule 112.04.

SCHWEITZER WATER COMPANY APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
ACQUISITION - 8
61730.0002.15845192.13
this expected investment in rate base, Schweitzer Water will consider the future filing of a
general rate case to recover rates that are fair, just and reasonable, both to customers and to
Schweitzer Water. Schweitzer Water will work with Commission Staff before and during future
rate proceedings to also consider possible consolidation of rates, rate structure, rate design and
other tariff charges as reasonable and appropriate.
REQUEST TO ISSUE NEW CPCN
21. Schweitzer Water requests that the Commission grant a new CPCN to Schweitzer
Water that authorizes service to the area previously served by Resort Water and the Ridge
System. The issuance of a new CPCN that covers the area served by the Company is necessary to
effectuate the Transaction and to realize the public benefits discussed above. The issuance of the
CPCN is in the public interest for the same reasons as the Transaction.
REQUEST FOR TARIFF APPROVAL
22. Schweitzer Water requests that the Commission approve new Tariffs for water
service to former customers of Resort Water, a draft copy which is attached hereto as Exhibit
0002 and shows Tariff changes in legislative format. The proposed Tariff changes the name from
Resort Water Company, Inc. to Schweitzer Water Company, and adds a new Schedule 6 for
customers of the former Ridge System.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
23. Additional information that may facilitate the Commission’s consideration of the
Transaction is identified below.
24. Transaction-related costs related to the acquisition have been incurred by Alterra,
not by Schweitzer Water. These costs are related to activities including due diligence,

SCHWEITZER WATER COMPANY APPLICATION FOR APPROVAL OF
ACQUISITION - 9

environmental and water consultants, research, legal, travel and negotiations. The costs will not
be passed to Schweitzer Water and will not be included in any future rate case filings.
25. Physical records, such as accounting, financial, and customer records will be kept
in the local office of Schweitzer Water, which shall be the same local office formerly held by
Resort Water, dba Mountain Utility Company, at 165 Village Lane, Suite A, Sandpoint, Idaho
83864. Schweitzer Water’s local office also will be the location for Resort Water’s former
customers to make requests, and otherwise correspond with Schweitzer Water. Financial and
accounting operations moved to Alterra’s Denver office, located at 3501 Wazee St., Ste 400,
Denver, CO 80216-3787, so accounts payable and accounts receivable operations, including bill
pay are provided by the Shared Services team of Alterra Mountain Company as Schweitzer
Water’s parent. See Trulock Di, p. 5.
26. Schweitzer Water currently intends to maintain the same billing schedule for
customers as used by Resort Water.
27. As described further in the testimony of Mr. Trulock, Schweitzer Water will
continue to provide 24-hour response to repairs or water quality issues. Id. Customers can call
the Schweitzer Water’s office phone number, 208-255-3045 / 208-255-3046, and the call will be

No. 0003. Schweitzer Water will also publish a notice to customers in the local newspaper,
regarding the Transaction and the Application.

presented in this Application and respectfully requests that it be processed by modified
procedure, using written submission rather than a hearing, under the Commission’s Rules of
Procedure 201 through 210.
