On November 26, 1996, the Building Contractors Association of Southwest Idaho (Contractors) filed a Motion in Case No. UWI-W-96-4 for an extension of time to file testimony.  The reason for the requested extension is delayed and incomplete responses to Contractor discovery requests by United Water.  Pursuant to previous Notice dated October 7, 1996, the date for simultaneous prefile of direct testimony by all parties was scheduled for December 5, 1996.  The Contractors request an extension of the prefile date to January 6, 1997.  All other parties have communicated their consent to the requested extension either in writing or orally, but have recommended that a similar extension be granted to all parties of record.  United Water additionally requests that the second prehearing conference previously scheduled for December 19, 1996, be vacated and reset to a date after the filing of direct testimony.
The Commission has considered the Contractors’ Motion for an Extension of Time, the Answers of the other parties and United Water’s request to reschedule the second prehearing conference.  The Commission finds it reasonable to grant the respective requests and adopts the following changes to dates for scheduling and second prehearing conference in Case No. UWI-W-96-4.
