YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that on April 26, 2006, United Water Idaho Inc.
(United Water; Company) filed an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission
(Commission) for authority to amend and revise its Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity No. 143 , as amended. Reference Idaho Code ~ 61-526; IDAPA 31.01.01.112. United
Water seeks to add an area known as the Trailhead Community to its certificated service
territory. The area of expansion is located in Ada County north of the City of Eagle in an area
more particularly described as: a parcel of land being all of the West 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of
Section 27 and all of Section 28, Township 5 North, Range 1 East, Boise Meridian, Ada County,
Idaho.
The developer of the Trailhead Community has requested that United Water extend
water service facilities to the area. United Water contends that the Trailhead Community area is
not within the authorized service territory of any other public utility water corporation under the
Commission s jurisdiction nor, it contends, will the extension interfere with the operations of any
other water utility under the Commission s jurisdiction. United Water further contends that there
are no known public entities, persons or corporations with whom the expansion is likely to
compete.
YOU ARE FURTHER NOTIFIED that the Commission has reviewed the filings of
record in Case No. UWI-06-4. The Commission has preliminarily determined that the public
interest regarding the Company s Application, amendment of Certificate and extension of service
to the Trailhead Community area may not require a hearing to consider the issues presented and
