IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF
UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. FOR
AUTHORITY TO INCREASE ITS RATES
AND CHARGES FOR WATER SERVIGE IN
THE STATE OF IDAHO
cAsE NO. UW|-W-15-01
SETTLEMENT STI PULATION
SETTLEMENT STIPULATION_1
This Settlement Stipulation ("Stipulation") is entered into by and among United
Water ldaho Inc., ("United Water", "Company"), the Staff of the ldaho Public Utilities
Commission ("Commission Staff') and the Community Action Partnership Association
of ldaho ("CAPAI'), the sole intervenor in this case (collectively, "Parties").
INTRODUCTION
The Parties agree the Stipulation represents a fair, 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 Parties believe the
Stipulation and its acceptance by the ldaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission)
represents a reasonable resolution of the several issues identified in this matter. The
Parties, therefore, recommend that the Commission, in accordance with Rule of
Procedure (RP) 274, approve the Stipulation and all of its terms and conditions without
material change or condition.
BACKGROUND
1. On May 21,2015, United Water filed an Application seeking authority to
increase the Company's rates for water service in the State of ldaho by an average of
13.2%. lf approved, the Company's revenues would have increased by $5,881,308
annually. The Company requested the new rates become effective June 22,2015.
2. On June 9,2015, the Commission issued Order No. 33316, suspending
United Water's proposed effective date for a period of 30 days plus five (5) months or
until December 22,2015. On July 7, 2015, the Commission issued Order No. 33334,
granting CAPAI'S Petition for lntervention.
SETTLEMENT STIPU LAT!ON_2
3. On July 22,2015, the Commission issued Order No. 33344, establishing a
procedural schedule, including a technical hearing to commence on November 19,
2015. The Order also convened a Public Workshop for August 19,2015 and that
Workshop occurred as scheduled.
4. After the filing of the Application, Commission Staff conducted a thorough
investigation of the Company's Application. Commission Staff propounded numerous
Production Requests, to which United Water provided responses.
5. On September 15, 2015, representatives of the Parties met to engage in
settlement discussions in accordance with RP 272, with a view toward resolving the
issues in this case. Although an agreement was not reached at that conference the
Parties continued to discuss the matter by telephone and electronic correspondence
and have now reached an agreement.
6. Representatives of the Parties also met on September 23,2015 to discuss
revisions to United Water's Rules and Regulations.
7. Based on the settlement discussions, as a compromise of the positions in
this case, and for other considerations as set forth below, the Parties agree to the
following terms.
TERMS OF THE STIPULATION
8. Fair Resolution. The settlement is reached as a fair resolution to several
disputed issues between the parties, recognizing that no party was likely to prevail on
every issue at hearing. The settlement results in a revenue increase that is reasonable,
but without resolving specific issues which were in dispute between the Company and
Staff.
SETTLEM ENT STIPULATION_3
REVENUE REQUIREMENT AND RATE DESIGN
9. Revenue Requirement. Regarding United Water's revenue requirement,
the Parties agree that United Water should be allowed to implement revised tariff
schedules, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to recover $2,730,000 in additional
revenue effective December 22,2015, which is an overall annual increase of
approximately 6.00%, and to recover an additional $670,000 effective December 22,
2016, which is an additional annual increase of 1 .39%. The Parties have agreed to this
phased-in recovery of the total agreed increase to mitigate the rate impact on customers
that would othenarise occur in a single year, and spread the increase during the period
the Company is precluded from filing an additional rate case.
10. Rate Spread and Rate Desion. As reflected by Exhibit A, the Parties
agree that the additional revenue requirement should be recovered by implementing
tariffs, which increase rates and charges on December 22,2015 and December 22,
2016. The rates set forth in Exhibit A reflect a uniform percentage increase to all rate
elements.
11. Consumption Normalization Adiustment. United Water and the Staff
disagreed on an appropriate normalizing adjustment for water consumption. Without
specifically agreeing upon the methodology used to produce them, United Water has
agreed for the purpose of this case on the normalized values proposed by Staff.
STAY-OUT
12. Rate Case Moratorium. United Water agrees that it will not file a general
revenue requirement rate case that results in new rates with an effective date prior to
December 22,2017.
SETTLEMENT STI PULATION_4
DEFERRALS
13. Deferrals. The Parties agree that the Commission's Final Order in this
matter may also approve the following deferrals and amortization periods.
a. Deferred Power. 3-year amortization of deferred balance beginning
December 2015.
b. Rate Case Expense. 3-year amortization of deferred balance beginning
December 2015.
c. Tank Paintinqs. 20-year amortization of new Gowen Tank painting cost of
$208,040 beginning December 2015.
d. Pension. 3-year amortization of deferred balance beginning December
2015. The embedded pension expense is proposed to be $1,521,508 in
order to establish a new deferral threshold amount.
e. The AFUDC equity gross up amount will be amortized over a 3S-year
period.
f. Relocation Expense. S-year amortization of $70,627 beginning December
2015.
g. Conservation Expense. 3-year amortization of $35,000 beginning
December 2015.
RULES AND REGULATIONS
14. ln its Application dated May 21,2015, United Water proposed several
miscellaneous changes to its Rules and Regulations Governing the Rendering of Water
Service, which are on file with the Commission. The proposed revisions were set forth
in Exhibit No. 24 accompanying the testimony of Marshall Thompson.
15. During the course of the proceeding, Staff propounded to United Water
several Production Requests regarding the proposed changes and United Water
answered the requests in writing.
SETTLEM ENT STI PULAT!ON_s
16. On September 23,2015, representatives of the Company met with
members of Staff and counsel for CAPAI to discuss the proposed revisions.
17. Based thereon, the Parties have agreed to modifications of the changes to
the Rules and Regulations as initially proposed by United Water. Those modifications
are shown on the attached Amendment 1 to Exhibit 24.
LOW INCOME
18, Backqround. lnitiated in 2005, United Water Cares is a program by which
United Water provides financial assistance, in the form of bill reductions, to low-income
customers experiencing difficulty paying their bills for water service from United Water.
Eligible participants are certified to United Water by El-Ada Community Action
Partnership, a non-profit corporation and a member of the Community Action
Partnership Association of Idaho (CAPAI).
19. Operation. The program is funded by United Water plus a one-time
contribution from unclaimed developer deposits of $95,656. None of the program costs
are included in customer rates. Since inception, total contributions to the program are
approximately $146,000. Although there is no cap or upper limit on United Water's
annual contribution to the program the amount of per customer assistance is currently
capped at $65, which was established in 2011.
20. Agreed Proqram Enhancements. After reviewing program operation and
customer need, CAPAI and United Water agree that the cap on per customer
contribution should be increased to $75, effective January 1,2016, an increase of
approximately 15%. Thereafter, the per-customer cap amount would be increased by
the same percentage (rounded up to the nearest dollar) as the percentage increase in
SETTLEMENT STIPULATION-6
revenue awarded by the Commission to United Water in subsequent general rate
proceedings. The percentage increase mechanism does not apply to the agreed upon
increase on December 22,2016.
21. Rationale. CAPA! and United Water believe the increase to occur January
1,2016 is appropriate since the cap has not been adjusted in five years. Further, the
mechanism for subsequent increases provides stability and predictability to the
program.
22. Support of Rate Case Settlement. CAPAI supports the terms the
agreement between Staff and United Water with respect to increased revenue
requirement and its recovery.
FURTHER COOPERATION
23. The Parties will file written testimony supporting this Stipulation on or
before November 6, 2015.
24. Meet and Confer. As noted above, the Commission Staff and United
Water have agreed, for the purpose of this case, on values to be used for normalizing
water consumption, but have not agreed on the methodology to produce them. Staff
and United Water representatives will confer with a view toward resolving those
disagreements for the purpose of future cases.
25. Just and Reasonable: Best Efforts. The Parties agree that this Stipulation
is in the public's interest and that all of its terms and conditions are fair, just and
reasonable. The Parties agree to use their best efforts to obtain Commission approval
of the Stipulation in order to have new rates implemented by December 22,2015.
SETTLEM ENT STIPULATION-7
26. No Acknowledqement. No Party shall be bound, benefited or prejudiced
by any position asserted in the negotiation of this Stipulation, except to the extent
expressly stated herein, nor shall this Stipulation be construed as a waiver of the rights
of any Party unless such rights are expressly waived herein. Execution of this
Stipulation shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgement by any Party of the
validity or invalidity of any particular method, theory or principle of regulation or cost
recovery. No Party shall be deemed to have agreed that any method, theory or
principle of regulation or cost recovery employed in arriving at this Stipulation is
appropriate for resolving any issues in any other proceeding in the future. No findings
of fact or conclusion of law other than those stated herein shall be deemed to be implicit
in this Stipulation.
27. Commission Approval. The obligations of the Parties under this
Stipulation are subject to the Commission's approval of this Stipulation in accordance
with RP 274-276.
28. Confidentiality. The Parties agree that this Stipulation represents a
compromise of the positions of the Parties. Therefore, other than any testimony filed in
support of the approval of this Stipulation, and except to the extent necessary for a
Party to explain before the Commission its own statements and positions with respect to
the Stipulation, as directed by RP 272, all statements made and positions taken in
negotiations relating to this Stipulation shall be confidential and will not be admissible in
evidence in this or any other proceeding.
SETTLEMENT STIPU LATION_8
29. Best Efforts. The Parties submit this Stipulation to the Commission and
recommend approval in its entirety. Parties shall support this Stipulation before the
Commission, and no Party shall appeal a Commission Order approving the Stipulation
or an issue resolved by the Stipulation. lf this Stipulation is challenged by any person
not a party to the Stipulation, the Parties to this Stipulation reserve the right to file
testimony, cross-examine witnesses, and put on such case, as they deem appropriate
to respond fully to the issues presented, including the right to raise issues that are
incorporated in the settlements embodied in this Stipulation. Notwithstanding this
reservation of rights, the Parties to this Stipulation agree that they will continue to
support the Commission's adoption of the terms of this Stipulation.
30. Risht to Withdraw. If the Commission rejects any part or all of this
Stipulation, or imposes any additiona! material conditions on approval of this Stipulation,
each Party reserves the right, upon written notice to the Commission and the other
Parties to this proceeding, within fourteen (14) days of the date of such action by the
Commission, to withdraw from this Stipulation. ln such case, no Party shall be bound or
prejudiced by the terms of this Stipulation, and each Party shall be entitled to seek
reconsideration of the Commission's Order, file testimony as it chooses, cross-examine
witnesses, and do all other things necessary to put on such case as it deems
appropriate.
31. Counterparts. This Stipulation may be executed in counterparts and each
signed counterpart shall constitute an original document.
