Name of Utility Company: Suez, now owned by Veolia
Case ID: VEO-W-22-02
Comment: "Veolia, a French owned company, just purchased Suez in March of 2022. Our water, a public utility, is now owned by a for profit publicly traded company. The letter
announcing this stated that "Your rate for water service will remain the same. There are no changes to rates as a result of the merger." In September, just 6 months later, Veolia is seeking
a 24.1% increase in our rates. ***Veolia says that they updated, improved, etc the water situation BUT they said they would not be raising rates AND they are a private company
owning our Public water system. Please block this rate increase and monitor this private company for breaking their promises. WHY does a non-USA company own our water system
- change this and do what is necessary to support the citizens against this money increase grab. Thank you."

Comment: "Because inflation is so high, some people can’t even afford to live in their houses anymore or their apartments, and are forced to live on the street. And please tell me that these
improvements are not to support the new subdivisions and apartment complexes that are popping up all over the treasure valley, and you’re expecting the good people of the cities to
pay for that. This cost should be done and covered by the developers builders and the people purchasing the homes and properties. please do not vote this increase in right now. Once
inflation gets under control, then, maybe yes. I realize improvements need to be made in all utility infrastructures. Thank you. "

Name of Utility Company: Veolia North America
Case ID: VEO-W-22-02
Comment: "Dear Commissioner Eric Anderson, Commissioner John Chatburn, and
Commissioner John R. Hammond, Jr., I find Veolia North America's request for a substantial
24.1% rate increase concerning, given their claim just 7 months ago that the Suez merger
would not result in a rate increase. Veolia had a 9.1% increase in revenue from 2020 to 2021
(26 billion to 28.5 billion) I strongly believe they did the necessary calculations to ensure
continued profit from their Boise operations, despite their investment costs, without resorting
to extreme price hikes. This is a time of economic uncertainty for all Idahoans. I urge the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission to stand against any price hikes beyond the rate of inflation.
Sincerely, Lane Genovese "

Comment: "Commissioners Eric Anderson, John Chatburn and John Hammond- Veolia North Americas request for a whopping 24.1% rate increase is concerning given seven months ago
they said the Suez merger would not result in a rate increase. We are already stretched with food, and gas prices. Please stand against this price hike. "
