Comment descriptIon: hope PUC really looks into this matter of asking the customers topay for this cost of $72,000.00 to change there billing cycle from bi-monthly to monthly.
The cost of water service from United Water is already very high. I recently moved into a
new house in Hidden Springs moving from the Eagle area. I had Eagle water service and my
monthly bills during the summer months ranged around $20 to $25 when I was using lots ofwater. During the winter months my bills were always under $10. With United Water my
bill in the winder months is over $40 bi-monthly. I called United water to see why my
water bill might be so much during the winter and to see if they could come check for
leaks. They told me they charge around $19.50 for there service and that doesn t include
any water. This is a ridicules amount of money to charge for not one drop of water. I
can now see why my water was so much higher than Eagle Water. When I asked the CS rep
about why there services are so much higher than Eagle Water she told me that there water
is a lot better and they do a lot more to the water. This is very untrue and I think the
PUC needs to look into this matter and should not accept this $72 000.00 request that will
increase my bi-monthly bill. I also think the PUC should also look into the reasoning of
this charge that does not include any water. I can t wait to see my water bill during the
June/July hot summer months when I will be using more water. Thanks a lot for your time
and I look forward to hearing more on this issue.

Comment=descriptIon: I am very much in favor of United Water being allowed to implement a
budget billing program. I have my electric and natural gas bills on level pay and have had
for many years. It's very convenient and also very reassuring to know that I don t have to
worry about what the cost will be during those high use months. This is especially
beneficial now that I am on a fixed income.
I understand that United Water wants to recover from its
will cost to implement this program. I am not opposed to
doesn t present a big bill to the customer. I don t know
customer, but perhaps it can be spread out over a period
Thank you.

Comment descriptIon: United Water continues to increase rates with little reguard to the
people that are forced to pay the bills. Monthly billing should provide early interest
bearing funds to united water offsetting any increases in costs. In addition to money
provided 30days earlier, the change would provide money as early as 6 to 9 months prior to
the use and normal billing cycle. I sugest that no increase in rates be allowed for thisadj ustment in billing options.

IPUC:
Regarding the proposal of United Water to start level pay and
monthly statements I feel that the people who use this extra service
should be the ones that pay for it. It is not fair to the people
such as myself who are fine with the current 2-month billing cycle to
be required to help pay for this extra service. Thanks for lettingme put -
