To Our Utility Customers,
Teton Springs, like the region, has experienced a rapidly increasing growth of new homes, as well as
significantly greater use of all facilities in the last few years. With that growth, we have seen increases in the
overall demand on both water and sewer systems as well as increases in repairs and replacement.
In20l9, demand, specifically water demand, increased significantly over prior years. This growth in demand
was enough to have the Company accelerate our timeline for capital projects. Then, with the events of 2020
and202l, growth accelerated at an even more rapid rate. 2022 appears to be a continuation of that trend.
As many of you know, we have been planning for the addition of a new water well or wells to meet both our
current and future demand as well as provide for redundancy in the event we have a failure of either of our 2
existing wells, both of which were drilled approximately 20 years ago. Many of you have also seen water leak
repairs being conducted throughout the community over the past few years.
On February 25,2022, the Company filed an application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
("Commission"), Case No. TTS-W-22-02, requesting permission to increase its water rates to aid in construction of a
new well or wells as well as provide for funds for repair and replacement of ffiastructure going forward.
Following is a chart showing the rates that have been requested for current and future anticipated expenditures:
