Notice of Application to Increase Rates
Dear United Water Idaho Customer:
This is to notify you that on February 10 , 2006 United Water Idaho filed an Application with the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) asking for authority to increase the company s rates and charges.
In the Application , United Water is proposing a revenue increase of $5 921 691 , which represents an over-
all increase in rates of 17.91 %, to be applied equally to all classes of customers. The requested increase
would raise rates for a typical residential customer by about $4.90 a month , bringing the average annual
residential bill from $327 to $386.
The proposed increase is necessary so that United Water will have an opportunity to earn a return on its
investments in water facilities which are providing service to customers. United Water has invested more
than $14 million in source , treatment and distribution facilities that have not yet been allowed for recovery
in the company s rates. An increase in revenue is necessary to support these investments and to maintain
a sound financial position. Additionally, ongoing costs of operations have increased since United Water
last general rate case.
The proposed increase in rates is subject to review and a decision by the IPUC , which may accept, modify
or reject in whole or in part the proposed increase. A complete copy of the proposal is available at the
company s office at 8248 West Victory Road , Boise, Idaho, and at the Commission s office at 472 West
Washington , Boise, Idaho. It is also available on-line at the IPUC website:

You can also file a comment on the Application via the IPUC website at:
