Please describe your comment briefly:
My wife Kim and I appreciate the acquisition of the Troy Hoffman Water Corp. by the current
owners. We also acknowledge they replaced the pump and operating expenses have undoubtedly
increased over the last 14 years. We believe a fair rate increase may be warranted, however,
I would like to understand why so high, 142%. If their operating costs and a reasonable
profit could be managed for less, I would feel more inclined to support the proposal. As it
stands, it seems high in this economy.
We appreciate the sevice provided by Troy Hoffman Water Corp. and would like to see it
continue unattached to the City of Coeur d i
Alene. Thank you.

I do agree that after 14 Years the Troy Hoffman Warter Corp is due a rate increase. I am
just not sure 142% rate increese is justified. The previous owners would surly have
requested a rate inc reese if the water corp was not profitable. The new owners are stating
that this rate increese request is due in part becauce of having to replace the pump in 2009.
One of the owners told my husband they had planed to replace the main pump, but had to do it
sooner because the old one burnt up. I think the thing that upsets me the most is how the
new owner went about this.. .Making the original request on June 15, 2010 with a post in the
legal section of the local paper. Hoping to get it passed by July 1, 2010 without any
noticication to their customers or public hearings.
