Re: Corporate Name Chanqe of the United Water lnc. Companies
Dear Secretary Jewell:
SUEZ Group ('SUEZ') is the ultimate corporate parent of United Water lnc. and the public
utility subsidiary providing service in ldaho is United Water ldaho lnc. SUEZ is a global
enterprise with over 80,000 employees operating in 70 countries under 50 different brands.
Earlier this year, SUEZ announced that it intended to operate its various businesses under a
single brand: SUEZ. Consistent with that effort, United Water ldaho lnc. is undergoing a
name change. The purpose of this letter is to advise the ldaho Public Utilities Commission (the
"IPUC") that the name change set out below became effective on November 9, 2015 with the
Secretary of State of ldaho:
COMPANY NAME
United Water ldaho lnc.
NEW COMPANY NAME
SUEZ Water ldaho lnc.
Corresponding changes will be made to bills, signage, vehicles and uniforms during the
remainder of this year and early next year. SUEZ Water ldaho lnc. will notify its customers of
the name change through an outreach program beginning in November, which will employ
digital and print advertising, bill inserts, website and social media postings, and outdoor
advertising. The name changes will have no impact on the ldaho customers, who will continue
to receive water service under the same rates, terms and conditions as are currently in effect.

ldaho lnc., enclosed are copies of various materials filed with, and received from, the ldaho
Secretary of State effectuating the name change as well as a copy of the bill insert that will be
sent to customers. Additionally, also attached is a complete copy of SUEZ Water ldaho tariff
which indicates the name changes and the effective date.
Based upon discussions with Staff, the attached Tariff also reflects the stipulated rates to
become effective December 22,2015. Please feelfree to contact me if you have any questions
regarding the name change or any of the attached materials.
