NEWS RELEASE: Schweitzer Water Company submits application to acquire assets and service
area of Resort Water Co.

BOISE (March 11, 2024) – Schweitzer Water Company has submitted an application to the
Idaho Public Utilities Commission to acquire the Resort Water Co. Inc.’s assets and service area.

Resort Water Co. owns two water supply and distribution systems that serve more than 550
customers in Bonner County. Schweizer serves customers in and around the Schweitzer
Mountain Resort in Boundary County.

In its application to the commission, Schweitzer Water said the proposed acquisition would
provide access to capital that is not currently available to Resort Water via Schweitzer Water’s
parent company, Alterra. The utility also said in its application that it would 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.
