Dear Utility Customer,
In the summer of2011, the Teton Springs Water & Sewer Company (TSWS) was required to replace the pumps
and motors in both ofthe deep water wells which provide the domestic water for the Teton Springs utilty
customers. The replacement was necessitated due to a failure of the pump and motor in Well #2, and the reduced
production capacity of Well #1. The ages ofthe pumps were 8 and 7 years, respectively.
The total expense incurred for this capital replacement work on the wells was approximately $26,000.

authorization to implement a one-time assessment for the utility customers. The assessment is to reconstitute the
capital reserve fund which was set aside for projects such as this as well as to repay the capital reserve fund
