CASE NO. VEO-W-22-03.

On August 18, 2022, Veolia Water Idaho, Inc. (“Company”) applied to amend the Brian
Water Surcharges and refund customers due to a computational error that produced an incorrect

Company proposes to amend the bimonthly surcharge to $138.48 and monthly Budget Billing
surcharge to $69.24. The Company proposes to refund current customers through bill credits and
former customers through checks mailed to their last known addresses. The Company requests its
Application be processed by Modified Procedure.

Procedure establishing an October 27, 2022, public comment deadline and a November 10, 2022,
Company reply deadline.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to issue a Notice of Application and a Notice of Modified
Procedure establishing a public comment deadline of October 27, 2022, and Company reply
