RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 21:
Response prepared by Scott Bruce, General Manager. Witness at hearing will be Scott Bruce
lncluded on the CD accompanying the Company's response to the Third Production Request is the
Excel file "Revision L - Well L0 estimate comparison to Well 9 costs" as requested.
The Company anticipates that the well house will be a 30 foot by 30 foot building. Because it will
be located in a residential location, the building will be a wood frame construction with an architectural
shingle roof and vinyl siding. The cost of the structure, including plumbing, electrical, and mechanical
portions of the structure, is estimated until the final building design is completed.
The Company has requested a waiver for the stand-by generator for Well 10 (Exhibit 1). The well
house will be built to accommodate the use of a portable diesel generator that can operate either the
pump in Well 10 or the pumps in Wells 2,4, and 6. We are awaiting the response from the Department
of Environmental Quality. Should the waiver not be granted, the company estimates that it can find a
used generator for about 575,000 that would provide stand-by power for the well.
The sand separator is optional based upon how much sand the well produces after it has been
developed. The size of the separator listed in the costs is based on the well producing 2,200 gpm.
REQUEST NO. 22: The Company's response to Production Request No. 1 provided the electronic
spreadsheet showing the calculations supporting the deposits to Account No. 127.1- MXU Project
Depreciation and Savings for 2016. Please provide the same spreadsheets to support the calculations
for each year (by month) since the inception of the fund through 2077 as available.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 22:

the following requested Excel spreadsheet files:
o Meter Depreciation 2012

REQUEST NO.23: The Company's Response to Production Request No.4 provided the detailed

through 2077 as available.
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 23:
Response prepared by Scott Bruce, General Manager. Witness at hearing will be Scott Bruce.
The first deposit to Account 127.1. - MXU Project Depr Savings was made on March 25,20!3.
The requested reports for 2013 (Exhibit 2'l,2OL4 (Exhibit 3), and 2017 (Exhibit 4) are attached with
Company's response to the third production request.
REQUEST NO. 24: The Company's Response to Production Request No. 6 provided project
financing details. Please provide additional details for the owner funds:
a Are the short-term owner funds a request for debt authority?
b. Will the owner funds be temporarily treated as owner paid-in capital?
c. Will these funds be returned (reduced) once cash become available from operations?
RESPONSE TO REQUEST NO. 24:
Response prepared by Scott Bruce, General Manager. Witness at hearing will be Scott Bruce.
The Company is not requesting authority to incur debt to finance the Well 10 project. The funds
that the owner will put into the project will be treated as paid-in capital temporarily (estimating the
company will be able to pay back the investment in three to nine months). No interest will be paid on
the amount brought in by the owner. As payments to the owner are made to repay the amount
temporarily posted to paid-in capital, it will be removed from the paid-in capital account.

Grcgg,
We are requesting a waiver to the rule that we need a backup generabr br the nw well being built on
Telfud Road east of North Ammon Road. The reasoning br the request is that we cunenUy have badcup
genenators on two of our welts. Th6e uells can produce more than enough rrvater to supdy our cusbmefti
wth in-house use in an emergency.
We do want to install a backup genenabr on site in he fufure. The well house drarings will have electrical
rough-in to installa future generabrto the exteriorof frte building. The rough-in can be utilized to use a
portable backup generabr if needed. Falls Wabr Co., lnc.'s oflner, Brent Johnson, oirns a portable diesel
generatorthatuould be available b the company upon requestwhen additbnal pmping is necessary in an
emergency. The generator is bQ enough to proville porcr to eiher the three wells (wells 2, 4, and 6) at the
south end of the system orthe pump e<pected b be installed in well 10.
ln this rvay yue can prwide the adclitional pumping at the bcation that will best meet the needs of the
cusbmers.
