6 FERC on behalf of FERC Trial Staff.
7 Q. What is the purpose and nature of your testimony in this proceeding?
8 A. The purpose of my testimony is to 1)provide a cost-of-service overview and describe the
9 methodology and results of the Cost of Service Study (COSS)prepared for this
10 proceeding; 2)provide an overview of the data analysis the Company conducted
11 regarding rate classes as they relate to a Load Study; 3)present the Company's proposal
12 regarding future Load Studies; and 4) discuss the Company's rate proposal.
13 Q. Please list the Exhibits that you are sponsoring in this rate case.
14 A. I am sponsoring Exhibit No. 13 with the following schedules:
15 Exhibit No. 13, Schedulel summarizes the COSS and compares the cost of service,
16 by customer class, with revenues under existing and proposed rates. The schedule also
17 presents the COSS increase by customer class.
18 Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 2 summarizes the allocation of test year operation and
19 maintenance (O&M) expenses, depreciation expense, taxes, return, and rate base to the
20 customer classes.
21 Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 3 presents the allocation of O&M, depreciation, taxes,
22 return, and rate base to the functional cost components.

I Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 4F illustrates the allocation of demand-related fire
2 service costs to private and public fire customers.
3 Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 5 (A-Q presents the development of charges for the
4 5/8"meter,billed consumption, and private fire service.
5 Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 6 (A-M presents the allocation factors used in the
6 COSS.
7 Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 7 presents materials from the Company's August 5,
8 2024 Load Study discussion.
9 COST OF SERVICE STUDY
10 Q. Please briefly address the purpose of a cost of service study.
11 A. After the revenue requirement has been established, a COSS is developed to determine
12 how to allocate the revenue requirement across a utility's various customer classes, or to
13 state another way, estimate the actual cost of serving each rate class. This allocation is
14 based on how each customer class causes the utility to incur costs in the provision of
15 service. Costs incurred to provide service to a customer class can be estimated utilizing
16 factors such as number of customers, annual water consumption, and class contributions
17 to peak demand. A COSS utilizes groups, or classes of customers, with similar water-use
18 characteristics for cost allocations because it is not practical, nor often possible due to the
19 nature of utility costs, to determine cost responsibility or rates for each individual
20 customer. The COSS output, or the estimated cost of service for each customer class, can
21 be used to develop cost-based rates, which can be an informative element of cost
PAGE 3 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I causation to be considered when designing customer rates that produce necessary
2 revenue.1
3 Q. Is the Cost-of-Service Study in this proceeding consistent with generally accepted
4 industry guidelines?
5 A. Yes. The Company's cost-of-service analysis is based on the guidance provided in
6 AWWA's M1 Manual, titled Principles of Water Rates, Fees, and Charges, Manual of
7 Water Supply Practices ("M1 Manual").
8 Q. Has the Company relied on the recommendations made in the AWWA MI Manual
9 in conducting its cost of service study submitted in this case?
10 A. Yes. The Company's cost of service study was conducted using a widely used and
11 accepted methodology known as the Base-Extra Capacity method, which can be found in
12 the M1 Manual. This method allocates the cost of providing service across customer
13 class in relation to each class's use of the base, extra capacity, customer and fire
14 protection functions. It is also consistent with the methodology used before this
15 Commission in previous proceedings.
16 Q. Please provide a brief overview of the Base-Extra Capacity method.
17 A. The Base-Extra capacity allocator is a two-part allocator, consisting of"Base" component
18 and an"Extra" component. The Base component for each class is the average daily
19 consumption for the year. The "Extra" component is the difference between the
20 maximum daily consumption for a given class and the average daily consumption for that
21 class.
1 Principles of rate design,in addition to cost causation,may for example include gradualism,efficiency,
affordability,revenue stability,and avoidance of discrimination.
PAGE 4 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I The first step of this methodology is cost functionalization, or identification of
2 each cost element as one of the basic utility service "functions", e.g., source, pumping,
3 treatment, storage, and distribution that are then allocated, or distributed into certain cost
4 groupings pursuant to the Base-Extra Capacity method: Base, Maximum Day, Maximum
5 Hour, Meters, Services, and Billing &Meters. This can be seen in Exhibit No. 13,
6 Schedule 3.
7 The second step is cost allocation to the customer classes, such as residential,
8 commercial, industrial, public authority, sales for resale, and fire protection, based on
9 which customer class causes the expense to be incurred. Allocation of"functionalized"
10 costs across the customer classes can be seen in Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 2.
11 If done properly, the resulting calculations should provide a reasonable
12 assessment of the cost of providing water service to each class of customers, and thus
13 should provide reasonable cost-based rates.
14 Q. Please provide an overview of how costs were allocated to the various customer
15 classes.
16 A. The development of the allocation factors can be found in Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 6 (A-
17 D), and their application to the revenue requirement can be found in Exhibit No. 13,
18 Schedules 2 and 3. Of note, Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 3 shows how costs are allocated
19 across the various "cost functions"under the Base-Extra methodology. Keeping in mind
20 that the Base-Extra method is a two-part allocator, Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 2 shows how
21 costs are functionalized and allocated to the various customer classes. An overview of
22 the cost allocation methodology is provided below; for brevity, some, but not all the cost
23 groupings in the study are discussed.
PAGE 5 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I Turning to cost allocation to the various customer classes, costs that tend to vary
2 directly with the amount of water consumed are considered base costs; examples included
3 purchased water, purchased electric power, and chemicals. These types of costs are
4 allocated across the customer classes relative to the average daily consumption of each,
5 with is directly based on volumetric use. Factor 1 in the COSS allocates these costs.
6 Costs incurred by the Company to meet maximum day requirements, which are in
7 excess of average use, are allocated based on a combination of base costs, maximum day
8 extra capacity costs, and for some pumping stations, in part as fire protection costs. Such
9 costs are allocated using average daily consumption and maximum daily capacity (with
10 and without fire). Examples of these types of costs include water supply, treatment, and
11 pumping facilities. Factors 2 and 3 in the COSS allocate these costs.
12 Storage and mains facilities are designed in large part to meet maximum hour and
13 fire demand needs. Because of this, these costs are allocated based on a combination of
14 the average consumption and maximum hour extra demand, including the demand for fire
15 protection service. Factors 5 and 6 in the COSS allocate these costs.
16 Costs that tend to vary based on number of customers, cush as customer
17 accounting,billing and collecting costs, are allocated based on the number of customers
18 in each customer class. Factor 12 in the COSS allocates these costs. Other shared costs,
19 cush as administrative and general costs are allocated based on how total operation and
20 maintenance costs, excluding general and administrative,purchased water, power, and
21 chemicals, were allocated to the various customer classes. Factor 14 in the COSS
22 allocates these costs.
PAGE 6 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I Q. Does the COSS reflect the actual Test Year and Test Period data presented in the
2 filing?
3 A. The COSS reflects a blend of data. The COSS utilizes the revenue requirement, namely,
4 revenues, rate base and expenses presented by Company witness Njuguna, as well as the
5 number of meters and volumetric consumption consistent with the actual Test Year and
6 Test Period data presented in this filing by Company witness Michaelson. The peaking,
7 or capacity factors, i.e., maximum day and maximum hour ratios, used in the instant
8 COSS are the same as those developed in the Load Study conducted in the 2022 Rate
9 Case and used in the COSS in the 2022 Rate Case proceeding.2 Factors that are being
10 adopted from the 2022 rate case can be found in Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 6(A-D), and
11 are used in the development of allocators the allocators applied in Exhibit No. 13,
12 Schedules 2 and 3.
13 Q. Does the COSS reflect the Company's proposal for Private Fire Hydrants.
14 A. Yes. Consistent with the proposal to recover costs of Private Fire Hydrants from all
15 customers found in the testimony of Company witness Johns, the COSS allocates the
16 costs of Private Fire Hydrants to all customers.
17 Q. Please discuss Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 1, which summarizes the results of the
18 COSS.
19 A. Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 1 shows that for the test year ending December 31, 2024, the
20 total revenue requirement reflects a 19.8%revenue increase. The COSS suggests that, if

I cost-based rates were adopted, the overall average revenue increase by customer class
2 would be:
3 • Residential—an increase of 24.7%
4 • Commercial—an increase of 16.9%
5 • Public Authority—a decrease of 3.8%
6 • Private Fire—a decrease of 66.1%
7 LOAD STUDY
8 Q. What is a Load Study?
9 A. A load study determines each customer class's contribution to the water utility's peak
10 load, which is used to develop allocators (an input) to be used in the COSS. More
11 specifically, these allocators are based on peak usage of each class (maximum-day and
12 maximum-hour factors)that can be used to allocate costs that cannot be directly assigned
13 to the customer classes because they are shared system costs. Examples of such costs
14 include plant and equipment, operation, and maintenance expenses ("O&M"), and some
15 administrative costs. The load study identifies each classes' relative contribution to peak
16 day and peak hour demand, which is informative from a cost-causation standpoint
17 because water utility systems are designed to meet peak usage requirements.
18 Q. Did the company conduct a new Load Study for this rate case?
19 A. No. Based on both data analysis and data limitations, it is the Company's position that
20 the Load Study from the 2022 Rate case can be used in the instant COSS to render
21 reasonable cost-based rates. Development of a new load study for this proceeding likely
22 would not render materially different results and would be time and cost consuming with
PAGE 8 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I little customer benefit. The Company does, however, propose a longer term solution,
2 which is discussed below.
3 Q. Were the peaking factors developed in the 2022 Load Study at issue?
4 A. No. Based upon a review of the 2022 Rate Case record, the accuracy and validity of the
5 peaking factors that were developed as a result of the 2022 Load Study were not at issue.
6 The primary criticism of the Load Study in the 2022 Rate Case was that the Company
7 "did not consider new sampling methodologies, customer class definitions, nor data
8 sources in its analysis," and that it examined data only within the context of"typical
9 water utility customer classes,"relying upon"preconceived assumptions as to the
10 correctness of those classes."3
11 Q. What customer classes were used in the 2022 Load Study?
12 A. The 2022 Load Study used the following rate classes: Residential, Commercial, and
13 Public Authority.4 These customer classes are consistent with the Company's billing
14 system, tariff, and what other water utilities typically use. All of these customer classes
15 are served under(or feed into) a single general service rate.
16 Q. Is it reasonable for all of Veolia Water Idaho Inc.'s (VWID) customer classes to be
17 served under a single general service rate?
18 A. Yes. First, as discussed in more detail below,based on currently available data, there are
19 not discernable factors that suggest Veolia Water Idaho's different customer classes
20 cause costs to be incurred by the company differently, negating the need for separate rate
21 classes, and therefore different rate schedules. Currently available data suggests that, at
3 Idaho PUC Order No. 35762 at p.20
4 These customer classes,plus Private Fire,were used in the 2022 COSS.
PAGE 9 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I this juncture, meter size may be the best indicator of cost causation, consistent with
2 Veolia Water Idaho's General Service Metered rate, which includes a meter charge that
3 increases with meter size. Second, Veolia Water Idaho's use of a general service rate is
4 consistent with water utility practices in other jurisdictions.
5 Q. Please discuss the analysis the Company undertook to evaluate its customer classes.
6 A. Heeding the concerns raised in the 2022 Rate Case, the Company sought to determine if
7 meaningful patterns could be found in customer(or other) data to 1) support alternative
8 customer classifications and 2) identify irrigation customers with alternative sources.
9 The Company examined
10 • Advanced Metering Infrastructure ("AMI") data for the Veolia Water Idaho
11 system, which provides hourly consumption reads;
12 • billing data, which provides bi-monthly readings; and
13 • Ada County parcel data, which is maintained by the Ada County Assessor's office
14 and includes over two-hundred property descriptors.
15 The analysis utilized data analytics to determine the explanatory power of the data by
16 performing regression analyses (linear and tree) and cluster analyses (simple and multi-
17 dimensional).
18 Q. Why did the Company seek to identify irrigation customers with alternative
19 sources?
20 A. Based on secondhand knowledge, my understanding is that it has been suggested by
21 Idaho Public Utilities Commission(IPUC) staff that perhaps customers that that use non-
PAGE 10 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I Company water for irrigation could be identified for rate-class identification and billing
2 purposes.
3 Q. Why did the Company utilize Ada County parcel data in the analysis?
4 A. Over the course of the 2022 Rate Case proceeding it was suggested by IPUC staff that for
5 load study purposes, customers could be grouped together based on a variety of factors
6 such as single and multi-family housing and lot size. Based on secondhand knowledge,
7 my understanding is that IPUC staff suggested that perhaps Ada County parcel data could
8 be used.
9 Q. What were the findings of this data analysis?
10 A. In summary, there is insufficient data at this juncture to indicate that the reclassification
11 of customers is necessary or supportable. Additionally, there is insufficient data to
12 identify customers with alternative irrigation sources and use it. This is because strong
13 trends/clusters simply do not manifest in the data. However, some very weak clustering
14 can be observed, suggesting that Meter Size may be the best predictor of customer
15 behavior, consistent with Veolia Water Idaho's current tariff design. A summary of the
16 analysis and conclusions were shared with IPUC staff on August 5, 2024. The materials
17 shared are provided in Exhibit No. 13, Schedule 7.
18 Q. You mentioned that the findings are based on limited data available at this juncture.
19 Why is that?
20 A. Veolia Water Idaho does not have full AMI saturation. As discussed in the direct
21 testimony of Company witness Johns, currently only about one-third of Veolia Water
22 Idaho's service territory has AML The Company's analysis suggests that the AMI data is
23 more representative of certain groups than others, and that customer groupings or clusters
PAGE 11 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I do not manifest in the AMI data. It could be possible, however, that the descriptive
2 capability of the AMI data for customer classification purposes may improve over time as
3 saturation increases.
4 Q. Does the Company have a proposal to address IPUC staffs concerns about rate
5 classifications?
6 A. Yes. The Company believes that the most effective way to address staff s questions
7 about appropriate customer rate classifications is to use AMI data to determine customer
8 types that have similar usage patterns. Given current AMI limitations, as discussed
9 above, the company proposes:
10 • to review data and the possibility of identifying alternative customer groups with
11 similar usage patterns as AMI saturation increases in, for example, 10%
12 increments; and to
13 • work with staff to develop a list of criteria, to be finalized within 6 months of the
14 final Order issued in this proceeding, that can be used to identify and or
15 differentiate various customer classes, based on practically available data, in order
16 to provide a framework that enables efficient meaningful examination of customer
17 classes for possible use in future rate-making endeavors.
18 RATE PROPOSAL
19 Q. How do the proposed rates set forth in Exhibit No. 5, Schedule 9 differ from those
20 calculated in the COSS?
21 A. The cost-based rates that result from the COSS can provide a foundation for rate design,
22 though other factors should be considered in rate design including, but not limited to, bill
23 stability, equity, simplicity, and price signal efficiency. The rates presented by Company
PAGE 12 OF 14
M.HATCH,DI
VEOLIA WATER IDAHO,INC.
I witness Michaelson takes the cost-based rates and these other elements into
2 consideration.
3 The Company's approach concerning General Service rates is consistent with the
4 "across the board"methodology utilized in the 2011, 2015, 2020, and 2022 rate
5 proceedings. The exception to this methodology relates to Private Fire which, as noted
6 above, is above the cost to serve and therefore, the approach maintains Private Fire rates
7 at their current levels. This approach is also discussed in the testimony of Company
8 witness Michaelson. The proposed overall increase of 19.84% is comparable across the
9 customer classes, which is why the Company proposes the same approach in this rate
10 proceeding.
11 As noted in the testimony of Company witness Johns, the Company proposes to
12 add a Bi-Monthly per Meter Charge for a 12-inch meter. Due to lack of operational
13 information, the proposed meter charge reflected in the rates presented by Company
14 witness Michaelson is based on the 10-inch meter charge, increased based on the
15 proportional capacity difference between a 10 and 12-inch meter.5
16 Q. Please discuss why you believe the proposed revenue increase allocation is fair.
17 A. As discussed in the testimony of Company witness Johns, VWID continues to make
18 considerable infrastructure and operational improvements to the water system. The
19 overall revenue increase requested by the Company reflects the significant nature of these
20 investments and is distributed to all customers in the same, fair manner.
21 Q. Are any changes to the rate structure being proposed in this filing?

Background
Previous Rate Case: VEO-W-22-02
PUC Finding Summary: VWID did not consider new sampling methodologies, customer class
definitions, nor data sources in its analysis. Rather, the Company collected and analyzed its data only
in comparison to "typical water utility customer classes" and relied upon its preconceived assumptions
as to the correctness of those typical classes.
• Other Issues
• Irrigation
• AMI data availability/infrastructure roll-out

Key Preliminary Findings
and Insights
• Insufficient Data
o Reclassification of customers
o To identify customers with access to irrigation and that use it
o At this juncture Meter Size may be the best predictor of customer behavior, consistent with tariff design
• Current Tariff Design
o Is not inconsistent with water rate designs throughout Idaho and in other Veolia rate-regulated jurisdictions
o The more a customer uses, the more the customer pays.
o Those who use more water pay more toward fixed costs through the commodity charge than customers that
use less water
• Potential Implications of Reclassification
o More granular load study and rate schedule refinements will impact G&A/customer costs.
o Tariff re-design
o Administrative burden of administering more rate schedules
o Recoding current billing systems
o Labor and IT resources needed for future analysis.
• Full AMI Rollout
o Long-term effort
OAugust 2024 o Cost impacts

Data
CCB Data (Billing System)
• Purpose is to facilitate accurate billing of customers.
• CCB Data
o Challenge: Bi-monthly readings, fidelity of peaking behaviors not available
■ How far the meter has spun between readings?
■ Only able to calculate daily/monthly averages
■ Unable to identify actual usage behaviors. E.g., periods of"peaking" behavior.
o Challenge: Matching billing cycle data to months
o Strength: Billing grade data = usage is accurate
• Includes:
o Revenue Class
o Meter size
o Consumption
o Rate code

Irrigation Data Availability
• VWID does not collect data that indicates whether a customer
o Is an irrigation district member.
o Said irrigation district member has access to irrigation.
o Said irrigation district member is using irrigation or VWID resources.
• Could Ada County Parcel be Used?
o The Ada County Assessor's Office maintains comprehensive property records on all real and personal
property within the county.
• Over two hundred descriptors, some of potential interest, e.g.
o Parcel Attributes
■ Property Code (R= residential, C =commercial, F =farm, L= land, M = Manufactured)
■ Acres
o Residential Attributes of possible interest
■ Number of dwellings on the parcel (duplex= 2, triplex= 3, etc.),Year built, Number of bedrooms,
Number of Bathrooms, Pool sq.ft, Design (1=Single Level; 2=Two Story; 3=Split Entry;4=Tri-Level;
5=Other; 6=Condo;7=Townhome; 8=Three Story)
o Commercial Attributes of possible interest
■ Group number,Type number, State Category code, number of stories

Data Analysis
Summary Findings
• Insufficient Data
o Reclassification of customers
■ Strong trends/clusters do not currently manifest
■ AMI data challenges
• Partial system saturation
• AMI was more representative of certain customer groups than others.
• Verification of data quality to CCB data
• Missing values
• Data quality validation with CCB
o To identify customers with access to irrigation and that use it.
• At this juncture Meter Size may be the best predictor of customer behavior, consistent with current Tariff design.
• Customer re-classification warrants a broader policy discussion

Other Considerations
• Costs
• G&A associated with: Tariff redesign, re-coding of billing system, customer class audit or
other informational audit would be time and labor intensive, data analytics staffing and
hardware.
• Full AMI rollout: millions of dollars over long time-horizon
• Additional meters for those that use VWID for irrigation = additional customer costs.
• Customer Acceptance
• Customer acceptance of a private company using public data to assess bills is unknown.
• Without definitive information on irrigation, would customers accept "estimates" used to be
placed on a specific rate schedule?
• Precedent

Recommendations &
Discussion
• Utilize current customer classes for load study and Cost of Service purposes.
o VWID's General Metered rate schedule and separate fire protection schedules tempers
concern about customer classifications.
• M-1 described Base-extra capacity method remains reliable.
• Next Steps?
