Comment: "Hello, I am wri�ng to address the increase in u�lity rates across Ada county, as Veolia and all other u�li�es
have gone up in price. I wish to protest these increases and want to show concern for the elder who are on a fixed
income and also younger families that may be priced out of the area due to infla�on or the housing market flare. My 79
year old elder neighbor expressed to me how concerned she is with these increases as they may eventually price her out
of her home of 65+ years. If nothing else, please consider taking care of the elder and give discounts based on age. I
appreciate you addressing this issue and I am open to discussing more if necessary. Thank you in advance, Shannon
McElroy 208-270-8030"

Comment: "To Whom it may concern: I am 79 years old and have lived at 1614 W. Victory Rd, Boise, ID 83705, since
1964. I wish to protest any increase of rates for Veolia Water Idaho. Everything has gone up in price. Real estate taxes
have more than doubled. Electricity, Sewer and Trash have also increased. Soon, if infla�on doesn’t slow down, I will be
2

priced out of my house. My house is paid for, I have no car payments, no visa payments and I have to say that I can’t
handle anymore u�lity rate increases. I fear for the young families around me and how they can possibly afford them.
Yours truly, Mildred E Fackler"

Comment: "I would like to protest the proposed 24% rate increase Veolia Water is reques�ng. I realize with infla�on
everything goes up, but 24% is excessive. Veolia comparing the increase to a cup of coffee is insul�ng. Not all of us can
ra�onalize shelling out $7. just for a beverage. Why not compare it to a meatless spaghe� dinner with milk for a small
family?The company is ci�ng recent improvements to their infrastructure as a reason, but I think the upgrades should be
considered just part of the cost of doing business. Also, as the city expands outwards, I think the developers should help
fund a large part of the cost to extend u�li�es rather than place the burden on everyone else. I live in west Boise, my
neighborhood is 30 yrs old. The water that comes out of my tap smells of chlorine so strongly and tastes so bad that I
cant drink it. I have to buy botled water for drinking and use a Brita filter for cooking water. Also its very hard and
leaves calcium deposits. Its been like this for years (prev lived in Meridian, I dont know if their water quality has
degraded to the point of heavy chlorine dosing). I'm sure I wont benefit for the rate increase. Pay more for a sub-par
product? "
