PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION
IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION )
OF MUY WATER WORK SYSTEMS) CASE NO. MU-W-1o-01
FOR THE AUTHORIY TO INCREASE ITS )
RATES AND CHARGES FOR WATER ) ORDER NO. 32105SERVICE )
On ~oveniber 2,2010, an order was set, tht the Muray Water Works was granted its
application for an increase in rates and charges. The due dilgence of the Idao Public Utilities
Coniission staf on this niatter has been thorough and appreciated.
Having fully reviewed all documentation available on this niattr, I request that an
iinediatepostponenient and subsequent reversal of ths ORDER ~O. 3210 be granted. Idaho
Public Utilties Coniniission Staff findings and records show that Mr. Arlen Lish known as
Murray Water Works, is not in conipliance with the rues of IDAPSA31.21.01 and should be
subject to fines and penalties. It is fuher noted that Mr. Arlen Lish has denionstrated a
reluctance to coniply with the rues. Integrity, reliability and quality of service should be at the
forefront of all public utilities.
Muray Water Works, according to IPUC Staff, has been found to exaggerate numbers,
services, labor and coniplaints. The co-niingling of records and accounts of a public utility with
other business and personal ventues is not an aceptble business practice. This should be
grounds for denial of a rate increase.
Being conipliant with all Federal, State and County laws, regulations, orders and licenses,
pertining to public utilities, should be niandatory before any consideration should be given to a
rate and fee increase.
Raising rates on individuals that are on fixed inconies in an infationar tinie, in an
econoniically depressed county, is not without personal coniplications. The existing rates are
prudent and reasonable based on the service and pedormance of Mr. Arlen Lish.
Respectfully subniitted ths /iR d day of~oveniber, 2010.
