It is my understanding these changes result in a $6.3MM project. However, Avimor is paying less than $2MM of those costs. The remaining financeial burden for the cost of improvements for the Avimor proj ect would be borne by United Water ratepayers. United Water ratepayers should not be required to share in the development costs forAvimor. Let those that will benefit from this infrastructure pay those costs. If the Commission is to approve this request. please add conditions that make Avimor responsible for 100% of the costs. Thank you for the opportunity to comment.

I feel the Avimore developers (Suncor) should be required to pay the full cost of the service. The Avimor development is an unreasonable distance from existing United Water services. Suncor should have considered this before beginning their development.

I thought that I s what developer impact fees are for. I have hear this in reference to the Avimore development in the Eagle Foothills. I am outraged that we will have to pay for 5 million dollars of new costs! This is totally wrong. The developer should have to pay for all new services to their development. There is nothing that says a developer is entitled to all these services for little cost. They should have to pay for the infrastructure necessary for a successful new development: roads water sewer electricity, firestations, etc. Existing residents should not have to pay for these expansions. What can l/we do to modify the rules to force developers to pay the applicable costs? am willing to take action. Please let me know what the next steps are. I can attend and testify at meetings but it seems to do little good.

We understand that, as proposed, the developers will pay only a third of the cost of the water pipeline, and that United Water customers will pay the balance. This is wrong; given property values in the area, the developers will have plenty of money to pay for their own improvements, and they should do that. Spreading the cost will lead to rate increases for the rest of us, regardless of how you I spin 'it.

This is ludicrous and should not be allowed as we can NOT set any sort of precedent where out of state developers come into the state because of our lax rules and not only rape the land, but take our water and ask for us to pay others to drink it. This state is going to be dry in 30 years, if not severely contaminated because of increased population and dropping water tables. As a native Idahoan , this whole situation makes me sick , but the real issue is that we need to take a stand now , so this doesn I t happen and the other 20+ 'planned communities I will actually have to be a 'planned community,' which is supposed to beI self-sufficient I and self -sustaining.' The developers NEED to be held accountable for their impact on our land and water , and pay for it themselves.
