On December 1, 2025, CDS Stoneridge Utilities, LLC ("Company") applied to the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission ("Commission") requesting authorization to increase its rates and
charges for water service such that the Company would experience a 43% increase in revenues
("Application"). The Company requested an effective date of February 1, 2026.
On December 31, 2025, the Commission issued a Notice of Application, Notice of
Intervention Deadline establishing a 21-day intervention period, and Notice of Suspension
suspending the Company's proposed effective date. Order No. 36896. The Commission granted
intervention to Randolph Lee Garrison,pro se, and Stoneridge Property Owners Association, Inc.
(collectively"Intervenors"). Order No. 36922.
On March 11,2026,the Commission issued notice that the Application would be processed
under Modified Procedure with established comment deadlines. Commission Staff("Staff') and
both Intervenors filed comments. The Commission also received 28 public comments.
On April 20,2026,the Commission issued notice that it would hold an in-person customer
hearing regarding the Company's Application.
On May 20, 2026, the date of the Commission's customer hearing and prior to the
Company reply comment deadline, the Company filed notice that it was withdrawing the
Application. Because there was insufficient time to cancel the customer hearing after the
Company's notice, the hearing took place as scheduled.
At the Commission's June 23, 2026, Decision Meeting, Staff presented a Decision
Memorandum recommending that the Commission issue an order acknowledging the Company's
withdrawal of the Application and clarifying uncertainty with the Company's Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity ("CPCN").
Having reviewed the record, we issue this order (1) acknowledging the Company's
withdrawal of the Application and (2) directing that all future filings and communications
ORDER NO. 37090 1

accurately identify J.D. Resort,Inc. as the certificated utility or,if the Company intends to operate
under another legal entity, requiring the Company file an application requesting to amend CPCN
No. 395 to reflect the appropriate entity.
COMMISSION FINDINGS AND DECISION
The Commission has jurisdiction over this matter and the issues in this case under Title 61
of the Idaho Code. The Commission regulates "public utilities," including "water corporations"
that serve the public, or some portion thereof, for compensation.Idaho Code §§ 61-125, -129, and
-501.
Under Rule 68 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure, a notice of withdrawal is effective
14 days after filing unless otherwise ordered by the Commission. Because we did not issue any
orders regarding the Company's May 20, 2026, Notice of Withdrawal of Application within 14
days, the withdrawal is effective as of June 3, 2026. We note that the Commission expended
considerable state resources in arranging and conducting a customer hearing on the same day the
Company filed notice of its withdrawal. Many Company customers also took the time to attend
the hearing. For future reference, we encourage the Company to be more cognizant of the
procedural schedule of its proceedings before the Commission and the impact the timing of its
filings might have on the the parties to the case, its customers, and other interested persons.
The Commission approved the transfer of CPCN No. 395 from CDS Stoneridge Utilities,
LLC to J.D. Resort, Inc. on August 2, 2019. Order No. 34391. Inadvertently, we did not issue the
Third Amended Certificate No. 395, which formally transferred the CPCN to J.D. Resort, Inc.,
until June 25, 2026. Future Company filings and communications shall accurately identify J.D.
Resort, Inc. as the certificated utility or, if the Company intends to operate under another legal
entity, the Company shall file an application requesting to amend CPCN No. 395 to reflect the
appropriate entity.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Company's Application is withdrawn, effective June
3, 2026.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all future Company filings and communications shall
accurately identify J.D. Resort, Inc. as the certificated utility or, if the Company intends to operate
under another legal entity, the Company shall file an application requesting to amend CPCN No.
395 to reflect the appropriate entity.
ORDER NO. 37090 2

THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
reconsideration within 21 days of the service date of this Order regarding any matter decided in
this Order.Within seven days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person
may cross-petition for reconsideration.Idaho Code § 61-626.
DONE by Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this 71h day of
