Marshall Thompson. United Water ldaho, 8248 West Victory Road, Boise
ldaho.
What is your occupation?
I am the Manager of Operations at United Water ldaho lnc. ("United
Wate/'or "Company").
Please describe your educational background and other
qualifications.
I am a graduate of Central Washington University with Bachelor of Arts
degrees in both Geography and Earth Science. I completed my Masters of
Engineering and Technology Management degree at Washington State
University, where I also received a Graduate Certificate in Construction
Project Management.
O. Please describe your work experience.
A. I have been employed by United Water since January 2012. Prior to
assuming my current duties as Manager of Operations, I worked as the
Assistant Manager in Training for United Water. Prior to this ! was
employed by the City of Spokane Washington in a variety of utility focused
technical roles.

My duties are to oversee the daily operation of providing potable water to
the customers of United Water ldaho. I supervise the departments of
Prod uction, Transm ission & Distribution, a nd I nformation Tech nology.
My duties also include supervision of the Company's day-to-day
compliance with safety regulations, compliance with the Safe Drinking
Water Act, and other similar requirements. I oversee specialists for both
water quality and hydrogeology in support of these efforts.
O. What is the purpose of your testimony?
A. ln the following sections I will testify regarding the Company's proposed
language changes to its Rules and Regulations (Exhibit zNB). These
changes include specific tariff changes regarding Company operations
and miscellaneous formafting updates.
Tariff and Rules and Requlations
Please describe the Company's proposed rules and regulations
changes to SCHEDULE NO.2, PUBLIC HYDRANTS AND STREET
SPRINKLING (Exhibit 2A, Page. 8).
The Company proposes removing availability of the flat rate street
sprinkling rate from the City of Boise. Of the two listed agencies, Ada
County Highway District (ACHD) is currently the only one utilizing the
street sprinkling flat rate charge.

The City of Boise routinely fills from hydrants using an attached
meter under provision of the Company's franchise agreement with the
City. However, this is not for the purpose of street sprinkling, but rather
equipment maintenance for sewer operations. Further, through use of an
attached meter the City of Boise regularly reports their volume of water
use. They are not by definition a flat rate customer.
ln this schedule, the Company is also proposing removal of ACHD
as an agency with installation and maintenance responsibility to public
hydrants. ACHD has never assumed this responsibility, and is unlikely to
do so in the future. Currently, public hydrants in areas of unincorporated
Ada County served by the Company are maintained by the Company.
Please describe the Company's proposed rules and regulations
changes to SCHEDULE NO. 5, MISCELLANEOUS FEES AND
CHARGES (Exhibit 2A, Page. 11).
The addition of cross connection control to the description of reconnection
terms recognizes that customers may also request reconnection following
a physical turn off for cross connection control isolation. ln 2013, the
Company notified Commission Staff of a revised Cross Connection
Control Program recognized by the ldaho Department of Environmental
Quality. This program outlines termination of water service as an
enforcement measure where a cross connection poses a hazardous
conditions that threatens public health. ln such cases the Company must

PIease describe the Company's proposed rutes and regulations
changes to RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
RENDERING OF SERVICE APPLICATION FOR SERVICE, Rules 8 and
10 (Exhibit2A, Page. 15-16).
ln Rule 8, the Company proposes removing the line "Company right of
way line" from the description of service connection line placement
specifics. The correction is meant to limit confusion on where a customer's
service line originates for the purpose of ongoing maintenance. Company
responsibility spans from the mainline to the meter box, the customer is
responsible for maintenance from the meter box to the building or place of
consumption.
ln Rule 10, the Company proposes removing the sentence, "When the
meter is located outside the customer's building, a positive shut off valve
shall be located between the customer's building and the meter."
The language is in opposition to the Uniform Plumbing Code (Section
1320.5) which states that the main shut off valve for these configurations
shall be provided inside of the building being served.
Please describe the Company's proposed rules and regulations
changes to RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
RENDERING OF SERVICE APPLICATION FOR SERVICE, Rules 14,
15, and 16 (Exhibit 2A, Page. 16-18).

A. As a group, Rules 14,15, and 16 collectively describe the Company's
Cross connection control Program. Specifically these sections detailwhat
authority of public health regulation mandates the Company program, and
how that program relates to the IPUC Customer Relations Rules and
Regulations.
The proposed changes to Section 14 correctly identify the ldaho
Department of Environmental Quality as the state agency with regulatory
oversight on cross connection control policy related to public health.
Additionally, the changes in Rule 14 detail pertinent information from
IDAPA rules regarding installation and specification of approved backflow
assemblies.
The proposed changes to Section 15 describe the failure of any customer
to properly install, maintain, or test a required backflow device as a
dangerous condition to public health. This clarification provides the
Company with authority to discontinue service without prior notice when a
dangerous condition is present.
The Company proposes that Section 16 be deleted in full but be
intentionally left blank to minimize renumbering of the document. With
approval of the revisions to section 14 and 15, and reference to the
recognized cross connection control program document, section 16 is no
longer necessary.

A.
RENDERING OF SERVICE APPLICATION FOR SERVICE, Rules 22,
24, and 25 (Exhibit 2A, Page. 18-20).
The proposed change to Rule 22 compliments that clarification offered in
the Company's proposed change to Rule 8 of the same rules section. The
Company serves from the mainline to the meter box, and the customer is
responsible for maintenance from the meter box to the building or place of
consumption. Without a franchise agreement allowing utilities placement
in the public right-of-way, the customer should not be permitted to extend
a service line that they maintain outside the property they own rights to.
This correction clarifies any confusion on where a customer's service line
originates for the purpose of ongoing maintenance.
It is proposed that Section 24 be deleted in its entirety but
intentionally left blank to minimize renumbering of the document. The
Company believes that Section 23 provides sufficient accommodation for
instances where an internal meter installation is required. The details
related to remote readouts has become obsolete as all new meters come
equipped with remote radio readouts as part of the standard installation.
The addition to Section 25 has been proposed as clarification that
the customer is responsible for payment of costs, but not direct installation
of meter boxes and vaults for meters larger than 2-inch.
Please describe the Company's proposal for changes to the
placement of Rule 41 under RULES AND REGULATIONS

GOVERNING THE RENDERING OF SERVICE (Exhibit 24, Page. 22-

Rule 41 in the currently approved Master Tariff, is found to be out of
sequence with surrounding Rules. lt follows Rule 42 (Sheet 17) as Rule 41
(Sheet 17A). No modification is requested to the content of Rule 41. The
Company is merely proposing that the existing language in Rule 41 be
placed in the proper sequence between Rules 40 and 42 on Sheet 17, and
that Sheet 17Abe removed.
Please describe the formatting changes proposed by the Gompany
to Rule 42 under RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
RENDERING OF SERVICE (Exhibit 2A, Page. 23-241.
The Company proposes only that the bullet points A-E listed under Rule
42 be indented under the leading Rule. No language changes are
proposed.
Please describe the Company's proposal for changes to Rules 44
and 45 under RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
RENDERING OF SERVICE, FIRE PROTECTION (Exhibit 2A, Page. 26).
ln Rule 44, the Company proposes the addition of a clarifying statement
that all fire service line connections will be separate from potable service
lines. ln Rule 45, the company is clarifying who will bear the financial cost
of equipment installation on existing fire service connections that the
company deems necessary to meter.

Please describe the formatting changes proposed by the Company
to Rule 60 under RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
RENDERING OF SERVICE (Exhibit 2A, Page.28l.
The Company proposes a change to language regarding water main
sizing. This change states that the minimum size shall normally be 8-inch
inside diameter, rather than exclusively be 8-inch as the current language
reads. Further, the Company reserves the right to determine the size of all
water mains to be extended. Together, these changes recognize that an
8-inch inside diameter main is the effective minimum standard for
engineering fire flow capacity. lf the purpose of the mainline extension is
primarily service delivery, an inside diameter other than 8-inch may be
sufficient for fire flow demand to an individual premise.

to Exhibit D, RESIDENTIAL, MULTIPLE FAMILY HOUSING,
COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, OR MU NICIPAL DEVELOPMENT
WATER MAIN EXTENSION AGREEMENT, Section 11 (Exhibit 2A,
Page.47l.
This change would require the applicant for water main extension to
ensure adequate access and separation for buried water main lines. The
current agreement specifies a separation of two feet (2') horizontal
separation from other utilities. The Company is proposing the minimum
separation be extended to three feet (3') of horizontal separation. The

Companv Operations
a. Please describe the operations of the Company.
A. As of May 1 ,2015, United Water ldaho provided domestic water service
and fire protection to approximately 90,200 residential, commercia!,
private fire protection and public authority service locations within the City
of Boise and the immediate surrounding area. Currently our source of
supply is comprised of two (2) surface water treatment plants and eighty-
two (82) deep wells, which are located throughout a service area of
approximately 146 square miles.
At this time, well water treatment primarily consists of the addition
of chlorine for disinfection and system residuals as well as polyphosphate
for sequestration of iron and manganese. ln addition, green sand filtration
systems treat water at three well stations in the system, (Bali Hai, Maple
Hills and Hilton). Granular activated carbon filtration systems treat
production at the Swift and Fisk well sites. At the Marden Street surface
water treatment plant, the treatment ranges from direct filtration to full
coagulation, settling and filtration depending on the quality of the raw
water. At the Columbia surface water treatment plant, treatment is
accomplished using micro-filtration membranes.
During 2014, the maximum day production (demand) from all
sources was 84.45 million gallons. The projected nominal production
capacity on the same maximum day was 89.2 million gallons per day
(mgd). The2014 minimum day production was 18.2 million gallons; while
Thompson, Di 10
United Water ldaho lnc.
I
2
average day production was approximately 41.65 million gallons. The
historical maximum day demand was 94.1 million gallons in July 2003.
The distribution system consists of approximately 1,240 miles of
water main, varying in size from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter. The
distribution system also is supported by 36.16 million gallons of available
storage capacity contained in 37 ground-level reservoirs.
Due to differences in elevation within the coverage of the service
area, United Water ldaho has over 90 different pressure delivery zones.
These zones are necessary to maintain a reasonable range of pressure at
the customers' points of use. With 84 sources (points from which water
originates) distributed across the water system, customers generally live
within the area of influence of a particular source serving their water
needs. This is not to say that all pressure zones have dedicated
production. Many zones have no dedicated point of production within their
boundaries. ln such cases, connections from adjacent pressure zones are
required to allow transport of water between zones to satisff customer
demand.
O. Does this conclude your direct testimony?
A. Yes. I reserve the right to supplement my testimony as additional issues
arise during the course of this proceeding. Thank you.

customer's historicalwater consumption, the Company may at any time submit a
revised estimate to the customer and require that the customer pay the revised
monthly Budget Bill installment amount as a condition of continuation in the Budget
Bill Plan.

RULES AND REGUI-ATIONS GOVERNING THE RENDERING OF SERVICE (cont'd)
Budget Bil! Plan participants will receive monthly billing statements, though their
meters will continue to be read on a bi-monthly basis.
The levelized monthly payment will approximate the 12 month average of the most current
6 bi-monthly bills. Budget Bill Plan amounts will be recalculated annually at the 12-month
anniversary of the date the customer began paying the most current Budget Bill amount.
The new monthly payment will be the recalculated Budget Bill amount. A customer's
Budget Bill amount may decrease, increase, or remain the same from year to year.
Customers with a negative (underpaid) balance in their Budget Bill Plan account at the
time of recalculation will have new monthly Budget Bill Plan charges equal to the
recalculated Budget Bill amount plus one-twelfth of the negative balance. At the
customer's option, a negative balance may be paid in full and disregarded for purposes
of calculating the next period's Budget Bill amount. lf the negative balance exceeds 25%
of the estimated annual bill for the ensuing annual period, the Company may request that
the negative balance be paid in full. Customers with a positive balance exceeding $2S in
their Budget Bill Plan account at the time of recalculation may be refunded at the
customer's request. lf no request for refund is made, the monthly Budget Bill Plan charge
will be equal to the recalculated Budget Bill Plan amount reduced by one-twelfth of the
positive balance. Upon termination of the Budget Bill Plan agreement, after all charges
for services are paid, positive balances will be refunded at the customer's option.
Estimates of future costs based on historical charges furnished by the Company
with such Budget Bill Plan should not be construed by the customer as a guarantee
that the total actual charges will not exceed the estimates. ln the event of a
significant change in rates for water service or substantial deviation from the
customer's historical water consumption, the Company may at any time submit a
revised estimate to the customer and require that the customer pay the revised
monthly Budget Bill installment amount as a condition of continuation in the Budget
Bill Plan.
