Comment: "All the information I have on the rate increase request is from Falls Water. It is
incomplete because it doesn't attach any cost to the TIER 1 allowance change, currently 11.
Changes to that allowance will drastically affect my bill, and not calculating the cost of that change
and including it in the percentage increase is misleading.The most recent change lowered the
allowance from 17 to 11 and this one appears to lower even more, 11 to 6.That is nearly a 65%
reduction to the allowance and that is excessive and costly. I think we should be aware of the full
cost of this rate increase before it is passed.Telling me that my rate will increase 27%without
including that cost is incorrect, incomplete, and misleading.While I don't know for sure, I tend to
believe that Falls Water shared this notice with the PUC before sending it to consumers.At this
point, I'm opposed to any rate increase.Thank you for your time:'

Comment: "I received the notice for the proposed increase for water on the Case number listed
a bove.
The information provided is very unclear as to the proposed rate increases without more
information. For example,Three of the Morningview larger lots do not have a estimated median
usage rate but reflects a proposed bill based on the median useage rate.What does that mean?
Also,why would the median useage rate for a Morningview 1 acre lot with a 5000 gallon useage be
cheaper than less water useage on a 1.5" supply in Falls Water and Taylor Mountain.The increases
are disproportionately aimed at Falls Water and Taylor Mountain lots with a 3/4" meter size.This
need to be equalized across the entire water system proposals for all three areas to be fair."
