On July 31, 1995, United Water Idaho, Inc.

On August 29 and September 20, 1995 the Commission issued Notices of Application in Case No. UWI-W-95-2.  On October 10, 1995 United Water filed an amendment to its Application requesting authority to bill newly acquired customers in the North State Area and the Summer Hills Subdivision under the Company’s existing rate schedules, and requesting authority to include the consideration paid to Garden City under the Exchange Agreement in the Company’s rate base.
