PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION )
OF MURRY WATER WORK SYSTEMS) CASE NO. MU-W-1o-01
FOR THE AUTHORIY TO INCREASE ITS )
RATES AND CHARGES FOR WATER ) ORDER NO. 32105SERVICE )
On November 2,2010, an order was set, that the Muray Water Works was granted its
application for an increase in rates and charges. The due diligence of the Idao Public Utilities
Commission staff on this matter has been thorough and appreciated.
Having fully reviewed all documentation available on this mattr, I request that an
irnediate postpnement and subsequent reversal of ths ORDER NO. 3210 be granted. Idao
Public Utilities Cornission Sta findings and records show that Mr. Arlen Lish known as
Muray Water Works, is not in compliance with the rues of IDAPSA3 1.2 1.01 and should be
subject to fines and penalties. It is furher noted that Mr. Arlen Lish has demonstrated a
reluctance to comply with the rules. Integrity, reliability and quaity of service should be at the
forefront of all public utilities.
Muray Water Works, according to IPUC Staff, has been found to exaggerate numbers,
servces, labor and complaints. The co-mingling of records and accounts of a public utility with
other business and personal ventures is not an acceptable business practice. This should be
grounds for denial of a rate increase.
Being compliant with all Federal, State and County laws, reguations, orders and licenses,
pertaining to public utilities, should be mandatory before any consideration should be given to a
rate and fee increase.
Raising rates on individuals that are on fixed incomes in an infationa time, in an
economically depressed county, is not without personal complications. The existing rates are
prudent and reasonable based on the servce and pedormance of Mr. Arlen Lish.
Respectfully submitted ths day of November, 2010.
