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

BOISE (March 22, 2024) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission has set an April 12 deadline
for parties to intervene in an application from Capitol Water Corporation to increase rates.

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

The utility provides water to residential, commercial and private fire protection customers in
Boise. Rates were previously changed fifteen years ago, and the utility is seeking approval from
the commission to increase monthly rates by $5.12. That amount represents an increase of 24.61
percent for customer bills. Capitol Water said the increase will help recover expenses related to
infrastructure maintenance, meter reading, customer service, administrative costs and other fixed
operational costs that do not vary with usage levels.

The commission can approve, deny or modify the utility’s application.

Those interested in becoming a party to the case and participate in proceedings have until Friday,
April 12, 2024 to do so. An e-mail can be sent to [e-mail] to request intervenor
status. If computer access is not available, a request can be mailed to:
