On September 15, 2025, Dry Creek Water Company, LLC, ("Company") filed an
application ("Application") with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("Commission")
requesting authority to increase rates and charges for water service in the State of Idaho.
On April 15, 2026, the Commission issued Order No. 37002, authorizing a total revenue
requirement of $1,024,038, with rate increases to be implemented annually over a three-year
period. The Commission directed the Company to submit tariffs in compliance with the rates and
charges approved in Order No. 37002 within 30 days of the Order. On April 24, 2026, the
Commission issued an errata to Order No. 37002,noting a correction to the Year 2 Sewer Company
Monthly Customer Charge. Errata to Order No. 37002 at 1.
On April 24, 2026, the Company filed tariffs reflecting the rates approved in Order No.
37002 and the errata. Commission Staff("Staff')reviewed the Company's tariffs and discovered
a difference between the Commission authorized and Company tariff hookup fee for both 3/4-inch
and 1-inch meters. On April 27, 2026, the Company submitted corrected tariffs reflecting the
hookup fees authorized in the Commission's order. At that time, Staff recognized that further
revisions to the tariff could improve clarity and consistency with other approved water tariffs and
worked with the Company to effect these changes. In addition to separating monthly recurring
charges by customer type,the Company updated the header and footer to meet PUC requirements
and formatted non-recurring charges for consistency with other approved water tariffs. The
Company also added text to the recurring schedules to clarify when approved rate increases would
take effect in 2027 and 2028.
On April 30, 2026, the Company submitted corrected tariffs reflecting the changes
recommended by Staff to the April 27 tariff. At the Commission's Decision Meeting on May 5,
2026, Commission Staff presented a Decision Memo indicating it had reviewed the April 30 filing
and verified that the updated tariffs were consistent with Order No. 37002.
