Dear Ms. Jewell:

The StoneRidge Water Company is submitting the enclosed tariff in compliance with IPUC
Order No. 30342. The tariff has been signed by Dean Allara, CEO of the StoneRidge Water
Company. The tariff has been changed from the final order in a few places to correct
typographical errors. The final order references Exhibit 112 and makes it a part of the final
order. The following were all a part of Exhibit 112.

The portion of Paragraph 2.4.1 that requires “a stop and waste valve on the company side of the
meter” has been omitted. The portion of Paragraph 8.3 that requires a “A stop and waste LOCK
valve will be installed on the company‘s side of the water meter as part of the water meter
installation.” has been changed as shown. The third paragraph of 2.17(B) has been changed to
show the meters serving the 5 buildings to be 1.5 inch meters rather than 2 inch meters. The last
paragraph of section 2.17 regarding seasonal disconnects has been omitted.
