Home My WebLink AboutDESHAZO.docxAugust 7, 1996 Eagle Water Company, Inc. Bob DeShazo PO Box 455 Eagle, ID 83616 RE: Bighorn Subdivision Roth & Sons, Inc. Dear Mr. DeShazo: It has been brought to the attention of Commission Staff that Eagle Water Company has notified Mary Preuit, Coldwell Banker, Aspen Realty, that Eagle Water will not sell water permits for Bighorn Subdivision until the developer has paid an outstanding bill (allegedly $31,487.80 plus interest) for work done in the subdivision. Upon receipt of the letter, we are informed that the broker for Bighorn immediately stopped marketing the subdivision. Although you apparently agreed to subsequently rescind your letter, it is our understanding that you have not done so. Staff is very troubled by your actions and your reluctance to comply with the Company’s tariffs and rules pending investigation of this matter by Commission Staff. Roth & Sons, Inc., as you are aware, alleges that the work performed has nothing to do with the work by or in connection with Eagle Water Company. It is not apparent from your June 12, 1996, breakdown of costs that the work performed was done for water service related purposes (as part of your regulated company) or was performed as part of your unregulated construction business. Please provide Staff with further documentation indicating which work (if any) is water service related. As you are most certainly aware, Staff has long contended that your two businesses must be separated. It does not seem sufficient that there has been no actual request for service if your actions have resulted in a cessation of marketing activities regarding lots in the Bighorn Subdivision. Please take appropriate affirmative steps to assure affected parties that your prior letter of July 9, 1996, is rescinded. Sincerely, Scott Woodbury Deputy Attorney General SDW/vld/L:deshazo.sw cc:JoAnn Butler Bob Aldridge Judy Stokes, Compliance Investigator, Commission Staff EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC.
