BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION
OF UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. TO
AMEND AND REVISE ITS CERTIFICATE OF
PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITYNO. 143.
CASE NO. UWI-O5-
COMMENTS OF THE
COMMISSION STAFF
COMES NOW the Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, by and through its
attorney of record, Cecelia A. Gassner, Deputy Attorney General, and in response to Order No.
29908, the Notice of Application and Notice of Modified Procedure issued on November 8
2005, respectfully submits the following comments.
BACKGROUND
On October 21 2005 , United Water Idaho Inc. (United Water; Company) filed an
Application seeking to amend and revise its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity in
order to expand its service territory. United Water seeks to expand the provision of its water
services to seven discrete parcels ofland. A map depicting United Water s current certificated
boundary and United Water s proposed certificated boundary was attached to the Company
Application as Exhibit A. For reference purposes, a copy of the same map is attached to these
comments as Attachment A.
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6, 2005
United Water states that none of the areas it is proposing to serve are within the
authorized territory of any other public utility water corporation under the jurisdiction of the
Commission. The Application states that there are no known public utilities, persons, or
corporations with whom the expansions are likely to compete. United Water proposes to provide
service pursuant to its Tariff No. 1 , General Metered Service, and in all respects will provide
service pursuant to its Rules and Regulations as approved by the Commission.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The authority of the Commission with regard to expansion of a water utility s certificated
areas is spelled out in the Idaho Code in pertinent part, as follows:
61-526. Certificate of convenience and necessity. No... water
corporation shall henceforth begin the construction of a. . . line, plant, or system or of
any extension of such.. .line, plant, or system, without having first obtained from the
commission a certificate that the present or future public convenience and necessity
require such construction: provided, that this section shall not be construed to
require such corporation to secure such certificate for an extension within any city
or county, within which it shall have theretofore lawfully commenced operation, or
for an extension into territory whether within or without a city or county,
contiguous to its.. .line, plant, or system, and not therefore served by a public utility
of like character,.. . and provided further, that if any public utility in constructing or
extending its lines, plant, or system, shall interfere or be about to interfere with the
operation of the line, plant, or system of any other public utility already constructed
or if public convenience and necessity does not require or will require such
construction or extension, the commission on complaint of the public utility
claiming to be injuriously affected, or on the commission s own motion, may, after
hearing, make such an order and prescribe such terms and conditions for the
locating or type of the line, plant or system affected as to it may seem just and
reasonable.. .
As provided in 961-526, United Water can expand its certificated area within Ada
County and to unserved areas contiguous to its existing system without explicit Commission
approval as long as the service meets the public convenience and necessity and will not interfere
with any other public utility. However, in accordance with past practice, United Water is
seeking Commission approval to continue serving in areas where it has already expanded and to
begin serving in areas where new customers have requested service.
Staff will describe and discuss each of the proposed expansion areas separately below.
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6, 2005
1. Cloverdale Road
This proposed expansion would extend United Water s service boundary approximately
V4 mile to the west of its existing location along Cloverdale Road, between Franklin Road and
Ustick Road (as described in further detail in Exhibit C to the Application). United Water has
already extended its lines and facilities into the area to serve residential development and is
currently providing domestic water service in the area pursuant to its standard rules and
regulations. As shown on Attachment B prepared by Staff, the expansion would extend the
Company s service territory boundary in this area to coincide with the area of impact boundary
for the City of Meridian. Staff is not aware of any objection to this expansion; therefore, Staff
recommends that it be approved.
2. Eagle McMillan
This expansion extends United Water s service boundary slightly west of its existing
boundary along Eagle Road near McMillan Road (as described in further detail in Exhibit E to
the Application). United Water has already extended its lines and facilities into the area to serve
residential development and is currently providing domestic water service in the area pursuant to
its standard rules and regulations. Also shown on Attachment B prepared by Staff, the expansion
would extend the Company s service territory boundary in this area to coincide with the city
limits of the City of Meridian. Part of the requested expansion would, however, encroach into
the area of impact of the City of Meridian. Because Meridian can control the pace and extent of
subdivision development within its area of impact, Staff believes that Meridian, rather than
United Water, should serve within the City s area of impact. However, Staff would be
supportive of United Water serving a small area within Meridian s area of impact ifthe two
parties can mutually agree.
3. Hidden Springs/Cartwright Ranch
This expansion would take in the Cartwright Ranch property, which is adjacent to United
Water s existing service territory encompassing the Hidden Springs planned community (as
described in further detail in Exhibit H to the Application). The developers of Hidden Springs
anticipate building between 1350 and 1450 new homes on the Cartwright Ranch property, and
have submitted a request to United Water for extension of water service into the area. Water
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6, 2005
service facilities will be extended into the area pursuant to United Water s Rules and Regulations
governing extensions. These line extension rules require a contribution by the developer of the
full cost of the onsite and offsite facilities necessary to provide service. The rules also include
provisions to charge the developer for special facilities (such as booster pumps and storage
reservoirs) should they be necessary. Because of the developer contribution provisions under the
Company s line extension rules, Staff believes that all other existing ratepayers are not harmed.
Thus, Staff recommends approval of expansion ofthe Company s certificate to serve this area.
4. LDS Church at Eagle Road
This expansion is located west of Eagle Road and south of Lake Hazel Road (as
described in further detail in Exhibit K to the Application). Water service facilities will be
extended into the area pursuant to United Water s standard Water Main Extension Agreement.
The LDS Church at Eagle Road, along with the LDS Church at Linder Road and the Iron
Horse proposed expansions discussed later in more detail, all lie outside of the city limits of the
cities of Meridian and Kuna. They are also outside of the current area of impact boundaries of
both cities. Attachment C is a map prepared by Staff showing the location of the Meridian and
Kuna area of impact boundaries in relation to the proposed expansion areas sought by United
Water.
The LDS Church has requested service to a 10-acre site in the area, but United Water is
seeking to add 320 acres to its certificated area. Even though the Company s requested area is
much larger than the Church's property, Staff believes the request reflects a logical expansion
that encompasses the Church property and surrounding area defined by quarter section lines.
It is Staff s understanding that the City of Meridian, despite not currently having
facilities to provide service, has a desire to extend its facilities to this area. In Case
No. UWI-05-, Order No. 29785 , United Water was granted authority to add 1280 acres
located immediately north and west of this area to its certificated area in order to serve the Black
Rock, LLC proposed development. Even though United Water was granted the authority to
serve the Black Rock area, the City of Meridian instead appears to be extending its facilities to
serve this area. The same thing could happen to the LDS Church at Eagle Road requested area.
Neither United Water nor the Commission has any authority to prevent the City of Meridian
from serving any areas it desires to serve.
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6, 2005
If the Commission grants approval to United Water to serve an area that ultimately
becomes served by the City of Meridian instead, an inefficient duplication of facilities could
occur. Staff recommends that United Water attempt to negotiate a settlement with the developer
and the City of Meridian on who will serve this area. If United Water emerges as the preferred
provider, Staff recommends approval ofthe Company s certificate expansion in this area.
5. LDS Church at Linder Road
This expansion is located west of Linder Road and south of Columbia Road (as described
in further detail in Exhibit L to the Application). It is adjacent to United Water s existing non-
contiguous Danskin service area. The LDS Church has requested service to a 10-acre site in the
area, but United Water is seeking to add 160 acres to its certificated area. Even though the
Company s requested area is much larger than the Church's property, Staff believes the request
reflects a logical expansion that encompasses the Church property and surrounding area defined
by quarter section lines. Water service facilities will be extended into the area pursuant to
United Water s standard Water Main Extension Agreement.
This area, along with another proposed expansion identified as Iron Horse, lies within the
corridor south of the city of Meridian and north of the city of Kuna. These areas are shown on
Attachment C prepared by Staff. Neither of these areas is located within the area of impact
boundaries of either city. There are no other regulated water utilities providing service in any of
these areas, thus there is no opportunity for interference. Moreover, Staff does not believe that
service by United Water to these areas would interfere with any existing unregulated or
municipal water service providers.
Staff is uncertain as to whether either city is likely to be able to provide service to these
areas in the near future. If neither city is immediately able to provide service and if the
Commission were to deny United Water s Application to serve these three areas, it would
effectively deny water service for an indefinite period of time. Staff believes the Commission
would satisfy the public convenience and necessity by approving the Company s request to
expand its certificate in the LDS Church at Linder Road and Iron Horse areas.
6. Lexington Meadows Subdivision
This expansion is west of McDermott Road and south of Overland Road in Canyon
County, Idaho (as described in further detail in Exhibit N to the Application). It is adjacent to
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6 , 2005
United Water s existing non-contiguous Belmont Heights service area. The proposed expansion
would encompass only the boundaries of the Lexington Meadows subdivision, which consists of
26 building sites. Water service facilities will be extended into the area pursuant to United
Water s standard Water Main Extension Agreement.
The requested expansion area lies within the City ofNampa Area of Impact as shown on
Attachment D prepared by Staff. However, the nearest Nampa municipal water facilities are
located along Happy Valley Road, approximately 1-Yz miles west of the proposed Lexington
Meadows subdivision. The City ofNampa appears unlikely to extend water service to this area
for several years in the future; therefore, Staff recommends that United Water be permitted to
extend service to this area.
7. Iron Horse
This expansion would extend the boundaries of United Water s Danskin non-contiguous
service area to include a proposed subdivision known as Iron Horse, located at W. Columbia
Road and S. Black Cat Road (as described in further detail in Exhibit R to the Application). The
expansion would add approximately 240 acres to the Danskin non-contiguous area. The
developer of Iron Horse has requested service from United Water.
As discussed previously, this area is located between the area of impact boundaries of
Meridian and Kuna. For the reasons stated above, Staff recommends approval of the Company
request to expand its certificate in this area.
The cities of Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Kuna, and Eagle have been notified of the
Application and comment deadline. Staff understands that Meridian has filed a protest in this
matter and has requested a hearing, and also that N amp a has submitted a comment stating some
concerns with the Company s requested changes.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that United Water be granted approval to expand its certificated area to
include those areas identified in its Application, with the exception of the small area at Eagle
Road and McMillan where United Water s requested area encroaches into the City of Meridian
area of impact. For the requested expansion to serve the LDS Church at Eagle Road, Staff
COMMENTS DECEMBER 6 , 2005
recommends that United Water try to negotiate a settlement with the developer of the property
and the City of Meridian by January 10 2006 regarding who will serve the area. If United Water
and Meridian are unable to reach a settlement by that date, Staff recommends that United
Water s Application to serve the LDS church at Eagle Road be approved. Staff further
recommends that the Commission direct the Company to prepare and file an Amended
Certificate No. 143 to include those expansion areas approved by the Commission.
Respectfully submitted this . JA--day of December 2005.
