Re: Case No. UWI-06-
Dear Commissioners:
On April 26 2006, United Water Idaho Inc. filed an Application with the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission (Commission) seeking to amend and revise its Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity No. 143 , as amended. The referenced Application seeks to add an
area known as the Trailhead Community to UWI's service territory. UWI stated at paragraph VI.
that "There are no known public entities, persons or corporations with whom the expansion is
likely to compete.This is incorrect. The defined area of expansion includes an area and a
development that will be served by the City of Eagle municipal system. The developer, Kastera
Homes, has already contacted the City of Eagle regarding annexation into the City, and the City
is taking steps to accommodate the developer s request. (See attached copy of letter from Kastera
Homes.) Under existing City ordinances the development will be served by the City. Therefore
the City objects to extension ofthe UWI certificate to this area.
Sincerely,
MOORE SMITH BUXTON & TURCKE

Dear Mayor Merrill and Eagle City Council Members:
Kastera Homes has recently purchased 660 acres of land north of the
City of Eagle near Willow Creek Road. We have also acquired an
additional 278 acres along State Highway 55 north of Brookside Lane
near the Shadow Valley Golf Course. Kastera Homes is considering
annexation of these lands into the City of Eagle.
Is it possible that we could be invited to attend a work session with
the City Council to discuss the possible annexation of our properties?
Thank you for your assistance in evaluating future annexation of our
land. Keep up your good work!
Respectfu lIy,
