We are opposed to the rate increase request. Due to customers like us who have strived to
conserve water we are being punished for doing so. For United Water to ask for a 20% rate
increase is a slap in the face to its' customers.
They state due to the significant decline in water usage they have significantly lower
revenues. What about my significantly lower revenues in this economy? Why do we need to
tighten our belts and they don't? It's not the customers fault they spent too much money.
Thank you

For many years United Water Idaho has charged a seasonal increase for summer(May 1 thru
September 30) water consumption. When I contacted United Water Idaho I was told that the
reason for the seasonal increase was to encourage water conservation. Now that the water
consumption per metered customer is declining the water company is requesting an increase in
rates. It does not make any sense to grant this increase. Apparently United Water Idaho has
done a poor job managing their money and poorly prioritizing their projects. If the water
company drops their seasonally adjusted billing increase than they may possibly deserve a
small increase. Otherwise~ there should be no increase and they should manage their company
with the funds on hand.

Wish I had a 20% increase in my income, then I might consider their request almost
reasonable.
The cost of new equipment and systems should have been anticipated -there is no indication
there were any emergency scenarios that required these expenditures. This is a cost of doing
business and should have been anticipated and it is not an acceptable reason for a rate
increase.
A reduction in water usage causing a reduction in revenue - what a surprise. They asked for
it and they got it - Plan for it and reduce your expenses to accomodate the reduced revenue.
This cannot be an acceptable basis for the requested rate increase.
i fully expect that a thorough review of the information provided as the basis for this rate
increase will lead the members of the IPUC to reject this request. The profi tabily of United
Water and its parent company must be reflective of good business practices and well planned
capital investments - it is not the exclusive duty of the 'rate payers' to carry the entire
load through rate increases.
Yours truly
William J. Martin
