NEWS RELEASE: Intervention deadline set in water utility’s application to increase rates.

BOISE (March 21, 2024) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has set an April 3
intervention deadline for an application submitted by CDS Stoneridge Utilities to increase the
rates it charges for water service.

Intervenors are allowed to participate in the proceedings for the application.

CDS Stoneridge serves approximately 384 residential and commercial customers in the
Blanchard, Idaho, area. The utility said it has invested more than $900,000 in its system since
2018. To recover the investment, it is asking for commission approval to increase monthly user
fees, increase the disconnection and reconnection fees and increase other non-recurring fees. The
amount of the increase depends on the meter size customers have and the amount of water they
use. The increase would apply to residential customers in the Stoneridge and Happy Valley
subdivisions, commercial customers at SR Resort/Timeshare and MCV & Golf Course, and
irrigation customers.

The commission can approve, modify or deny the application.

Those interested in becoming a party to the case and participate in proceedings have until April
3, 2024 to do so. An e-mail can be sent to [e-mail] to request intervenor status.
