Hi Brad and Cole,

Based on Rick Keller’s review of Veolia’s tariff, his discussions with Brad, and our conversaon this morning with both
Cathy Cooper and Sco# Pierce, we believe Veolia is following the requirements of the Company’s tariff. During our
meeng with the Company we discussed your proposal. Veolia believes the cost of your proposed roung might be just
as expensive as running the new 12” main line in N. Mcleod Way. Veolia suggested procuring two bids while working
through the details with the Company for verificaon. However, Veolia will not deviate from its posion.

The Company’s tariff can be found at the following link:

Since no Veolia Main fronts the property, a Main Extension is required per the Company’s tariff.
o Rules and Regulaons Governing The Rendering of Service.
 Sheet No.28
 7. The Company will make all connecons to its exisng mains which front the property
to be served and will furnish, install, and maintain all service lines from the main to and
including the meter box or vault, meters and service se>ng. The meter box or vault shall
be placed inside the curb line or Company right-of-way. All service lines shall be
property of the Company and shall be accessible to and under its control. In instances
where the exisng mains do not front the property to be served, the Applicant shall
enter into the appropriate main extension agreement as provided under Company's
Rules and Regulaons Governing Main Extensions.
o Rules and Regulaons Governing Water Main Extensions
 Sheet No. 37
 61. The normal roung for water main extensions shall be in dedicated streets. The
Company may, but will not be required to, make extensions under this rule in
easements or rights-of-way where final grades have not been established or where
street grades have not been brought to those established by public authority. If
extensions are made when grades have not been established and there is a reasonable
probability that exisng grade will be changed, the Company shall require the
Applicant(s) to deposit the esmated cost for altering the facilies installed.
 Sheet No. 38
 62. Company shall design and be the sole judge as to the adequacy of any water main
extension and appurtenances.
 Sheet No. 39
2
 69. A water main extension must extend to the extreme property lines of the building
lot to be served.

In summary, Veolia is unwilling to change its posion and accept your proposal. Staff is unable to Order the Company to
accept your proposal. You have the opon to file a formal complaint to challenge Veolia’s posion. A favorable
outcome for your proposal is unknown.

I will be out of the office for the rest of the day. If you have any quesons please contact Rick (208-334-0348).

Thanks,
