and Communty Action Parership Association of Idaho (CAPAI), the sole intervenor in ths

SETTLEMENT STIPULATION i
INTRODUCTION
The Paries agree the Stipulation represents a fai, just and reasonable compromise of
the issues raised in United Water's Application for an increase in water service rates, and the
Stipulation is in the public's interest. The Paries believe the Stipulation and its acceptace
by the Idaho Public Utilties Commssion (Commission) represents a reasonable resolution of
the several issues identified in ths matter. The Paries, therefore, recommend that the
Commission, in accordace with Rule of Procedure (R) 274, approve the Stipulation and all
of its terms and conditions without material change or condition.
BACKGROUND
.
1. On August 3, 2011, United Water filed an Application seekig authority to increase the
Company's rates for water service in the State ofIdaho by an average, of 19.89%. If
approved, the Company's revenues would increase by $7,616,015 anualy. The
Company requested the new rates become effective September 2, 2011.
2. On August 18,2011, the Commission issued Order No. 32333, suspending United
Water's proposed effective date for a period of30 days plus five (5) months from
September 2,2011. On the same date, the Commssion issued Order No. 32334, granting
CAP AI'S Petition for Intervention.
3. On October 5, 2011, the Commission issued Order 32376, establishing a procedural
schedule, including a techncal hearng to commence on Febru 1, 2011.
4. After the filing of the Application, Commssion Sta conducted a thorough audit and
investigation of the Company's Application. Commssion Sta propounded numerous
SETTLEMENT SlIPULA TION 2
Audit Requests and Production Requests, to which United Water provided timely
responses.
5. On November 16, 17 and 18,2011, representatives of the Paries met to engage in
settlement discussions in accordance with RP 272, with a view toward resolving the
issues in this case.
6. Based on the settlement discussions, as a compromise of the positions in this case, and
for other considerations as set fort below, the Paries agree to the followig terms.
TERMS OF THE STIPULATION
7. Fair Resolution. The settlement is reached as a fair resolution to several disputed issues
between the paries, recognzing that neither par was likely to prevail on every issue at
hearng. The settlement results in a revenue increase that is reasonable, but without
resolving specific issues which were in dispute between the Company and Sta.
8. Revenue Requirement. Regarding United Water's revenue requirement, the Paries agree
that United Water should be allowed to implement revised taff schedules, in the form
atthed hereto as Exhbit A, to recover $3,050,000 in additional revenue effective
Februar 1,2012, which is an overall increase of 7.96%, and to recovér an additional
$950,000 effective Februar 1,2013, which is an additional increase of2.48%. The
Paries have agreed to ths phased-in recovery of the tota agreed increase, to mitigate the
rate impact on customers tht would otherwse occur in a single year, and spread the r
increase durng the period the Company is precluded from fiing an additional rate case.
SETTLEMENT STIPULATION 3
9. Rate Spread and Rate Design. As reflected by Exhbit A, the Pares agee that the
additional revenue requirement should be recovered by implementig taffs which
increase rates and charges on Febru 1,2012 and Febru 1,2013.
10. Rate Case Moratorium. United Water agrees that it will not fie a general revenue
requiement rate case that results in an effective date for new rates prior to Janua 1,
2014.
11. Deferrals. The Paries agree that the Commssion's Final Order in ths matter may also
approve the following deferrals and amortization periods.
a) Deferred Power Expense: There remains an unamortized balance of deferred Idaho
Power Company PCA electrc power expense from the deferral and amortization

as of Janua 31,2012, which shal be re-amortized over a period of thirty-six (36)
months, commencing Febru 1, 2012. It is estimated that the pending deferred
power balance as of Janua 31, 2012, will be approximately $185,000, which
balance shall be amortzed over a period of thiry-six (36) months, commencing
Februar 1,2012. The Company shall continue to defer for later amortization all
amounts biled by Idaho Power Company under its PCA. The carng charge on the

interest rate on customer deposits pursuat to Rule 106 of the Commission's
Customer Relations Rules, IDAPA 31.01.21.
b) Rate Case Expense: There remais an unamortized balance of deferred rate case

SETTLEMENT STIPLA nON 4

d) Pension Expense: The actu cash contrbutions to the Company's ERISA pension
plan for the plan year 2010 was $1,300,769. In subsequent plan years, should the
actu cash contributions exceed, or be less than, the 2010 plan year contrbution, the
Company is authorized to record a deferred asset or liabilty for the difference
between the actu cash contrbution in each of the subsequent years and the 2010
plan year amount. Such amounts so deferred will be presented by the Company for
amortization in its next general rate proceeding and, if prudently made as determined
by examination by the Commssion, United Water can expect, in the ordinar course
of events, to amortize the deferred asset or liabilty over a period not to exceed three
(3) years in its next general rate filing. The Company is also authorized to apply the
Commission authorized interest rate on customer deposits, pursuant to Rule 106 of
the Commission's Customer Relations Rules, IDAP A 31.01.21, as a caring
chage/accrued interest to the deferred asset or liabilty until such time as the deferral

12. Depreciable Life of Customer Care and Biling System (CC&B). For the purose of
calculating book depreciation expense on the CC&B system, the usefu life of the system
shall be considered to be a period of ten (10) years, commencing November 1, 2011.
13. Per Meter Charges and Cost of Service Study. The adjustments to the Company's Bi-
Monthy Per Meter Charge as shown on Exhbit A does not reflect a unform percentage
increase to all rate elements. Instead the adjustments reflect a movement toward
recovering appropriate customer costs in the Per Meter Charge, as supported by the Cost
of Service Study sponsored by Company witness Herbert. In its next general rate
proceeding, the Company will not seek fuer adjustment to the Per Meter Charge,
SETTLEMENT STIPULATION 6
except on a uniform percentage increase basis. Accordingly, with respect to its next
