NEWS RELEASE: Commission extends deadline to submit comments and information in
water utility case.
BOISE(Aug. 21, 2024)—The Idaho Public Utilities Commission is giving a water utility
additional time to submit comments and other information as part of an investigation to
determine if the utility should be regulated by the commission.
Dry Creek Water Company, located northwest of Boise, provides water to the Dry Creek
Ranch Homeowners Association which then distributes water to homes that have been
built at Dry Creek Ranch. As of December of 2023, the utility was serving 381 connections.
Dry Creek Water is not currently regulated by the commission, and has not been granted a
certificate of public convenience and necessity.
Commission staff received informal complaints regarding how the utility is operating, and
determined a formal investigation was needed to determine if Dry Creek Water is operating
as a public utility that should be regulated by the commission.

Deadlines in June, July and August have been extended to give Dry Creek Water additional
time to work with commission staff and submit information as part of the investigation. In
an order issued by the commission on Tuesday, it agreed to vacate an Aug. 16, 2024, reply
comment deadline and grant the utility's request for an additional 60 days from a prior
reply comment deadline of July 24, 2024, to file reply comments.
