PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were making the
improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control room, servers, database, and
historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a control room or associated amenities
and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water

PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were making the
improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control room, servers, database, and
historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a control room or associated amenities
and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water
portion of the costs does not have any overheads included.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2: Please identify and describe the escalation and/or
change in state and federal regulations mentioned on page 3 of Thompson testimony for the
years 2010 to present. Identify each agency or department requiring the regulation, and specify
whether each escalation/change in regulation is local, state, or federal in nature.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2:
The original intent of this referenced section from the Thompson testimony was to reflect
increased regulatory obligations that utilities such as SUEZ and the Eagle Water Company will
face in coming years. This includes, but is not limited to steps taken by the US Congress in 2018
regarding updates to portions of the Safe Drinking Water Act in America’s Water Infrastructure
Act of 2018, which was signed into law Oct. 23, 2018 by President Trump.
Rule making has yet to establish formal guidelines on this legislation. However, it is clear
that the recent legislative changes add to drinking water utility obligations in the following areas:
• stronger requirements for notification of contaminant spills to downstream water utilities
• encouragement to implement asset management practices
• codification that provision of Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) by electronic means are acceptable.
• Required publication of CCRs twice annually for systems of significant size.
• Revision of the format and content of CCRs
• Utilities must now show that they are updating security and resiliency provisions for their
facilities
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2 - PAGE 2 OF 3
Regarding lead and copper in drinking water, USEPA has indicated that a revised Lead
and Copper Rule will be proposed in 2019. The Revised Lead and Copper Rule is expected to
include new requirements for utilities to maintain inventories of distribution system materials,
select targeted sampling pools, and conduct public education. Existing state administration of
the current EPA rule set requires all drinking water utilities state-wide to sample for a growing
list of possible contaminants. The EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) is
in its 4th generation. A clear connection is being drawn between that rule and a recently revised
list of EPA Health Advisory Limits for common groundwater contaminants. EPA is also
proceeding with proposed regulations for some of the currently unregulated contaminants that
were included in previous rounds of the UCMR, such as perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS)
and 1,4-dioxane. Due to the relatively long timeline of USEPA rulemaking, State administrators
are under increasing pressure from the community to promulgate their own drinking water
regulations in advance of the federal initiatives. Regardless of system size, drinking water
utilities will be well served to plan ahead for increasingly stringent regulation of trace
contaminants.
Since 2010, changes have also been seen in utility account and tax regulation. In January
2018, the Idaho Public Utility Commission directed in its Order in PUC Case No. GNR-U-18-01
(“Generic Tax Order”) a series of requirements for utilities under its jurisdiction related to the
impacts of modifications to the Internal Revenue Tax Code by the implementation of The Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”).
TCJA reduced corporate income tax rates, which reduced current & deferred income tax
expense, accumulated deferred income tax and eliminated the exemption for water and sewer
utilities from recognizing CIAC as taxable income. SUEZ is currently in compliance with the
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2 - PAGE 3 OF 3
directives and requirements set forth in that order. The Company is not aware of any filing by
Eagle Water Company in response to this same order. It is not known what accounting or
procedural hurdles Eagle Water may need to overcome to come into compliance with this
directive.
Regardless of recent changes or new regulations on the horizon, SUEZ notes that Eagle
Water Company has had difficulty meeting certain current regulatory obligations.These
deficiencies can be found in the Company’s response to Staff’s production requests No. 9, No.
10, and No. 18. Excerpts from these responses will be summarized again here.
• As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the current Eagle Water system does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.07).
• The company’s response to request number 10 details several unaddressed material deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include leaks and structural issues with Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II licensure for the system’s lead operator.
• In response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a significant water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3 - PAGE 1 OF 2
SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3: In reference to page 8 of Thompson testimony,
please demonstrate how the Eagle Water system has “suffered from less than optimal capital
investment” including deficiency reports from regulatory agencies, outage locations and
durations, and complaints of inadequate service from Eagle Water customers. Please also
provide the number of Eagle Water customers that have requested service from SUEZ Water
Idaho due to the condition of the Eagle Water system.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3:
A review of Eagle Water Company’s history of owner investment in the system versus its
accumulated depreciation demonstrates a non-optimal capital investment strategy over many
years. The calculated negative rate base of $1,208,792 as of December 2017 indicates that the
long-term capital investment needs of the system are not being met under current conditions.
Further, the Eagle Water system’s reliance on emergency surcharges, most recently from
2009 through 2016, shows how stressful reactive repairs have been for this water system.
Responding to urgent repairs is part of utility operations, but it should not become an immediate
funding need to customers.
A list of existing Eagle Water system deficiencies can be found in the Company’s
response to production requests No. 9, No. 10, and No. 18. Excerpts from these responses are
summarized here.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3 - PAGE 2 OF 2
• As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the current Eagle Water system
does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.07).
• The company’s response to request number 10 details several unaddressed material
deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include leaks and structural issues with the Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II licensure for the system’s lead operator.
• Finally, in response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a significant
water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
In the Company’s due diligence efforts, no evidence was found indicating Eagle Water
maintains records of customer outages or complaints.
Since announcing its intentions to acquire Eagle Water Company assets, SUEZ received
and tracked numerous calls from current Eagle Water customers requesting information on the
PUC filing. We have not received any specific “requests for service from SUEZ Water Idaho due
to the condition of the Eagle Water system.” However, the call outlined below from January 4,
2019 highlights the perspective of one current Eagle Water customer who is optimistic for
improved water service.
Call Summary – January 4, 2019
A SUEZ employee spoke with a longtime Eagle resident and Eagle Water Company
customer who expressed his relief that SUEZ is seeking to purchase his water provider.
He has experienced many water service disruptions, including an outage that lasted 7 days. Eagle Water Company brought in potable water for his neighborhood, but it was still a hardship for his family.
This customer also complained of poor water pressure with Eagle Water, and mentioned
automated watering of his lawn is a challenge.
“Do I want my rates to go up? No, but I’m willing to take the risk with the sale that I’ll have better service,” he said.
He expressed support for the sale, believes SUEZ provides dependable service, and he wants that reliability for his community.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5 - PAGE 1 OF 2
SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila M. Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5: Please provide all financial analyses prepared by
or for SUEZ Water Idaho for estimating the value of Eagle Water’s system. If not clearly
labeled in the workpapers, please provide assumptions on the cost of capital and annual (or
quarterly, if applicable) expected revenue and costs, including book depreciation, tax
depreciation, income taxes, deferred taxes, property taxes, and other items typically included in a
discounted cash flow analysis.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5:
The Company did not determine the Eagle Water purchase price through a discounted
cash flow analysis because that valuation is highly dependent on regulatory treatment
assumptions. The negotiated purchase price and estimated value of the Eagle Water system to
SUEZ was substantiated by the avoided capital investment as outlined in Ms. Cooper’s testimony
starting on page 5. Including the $10M Eagle Water purchase acquisition price, SUEZ estimates
that $11.7M of additional planned capital investment would be avoided or deferred, while
addressing the supply needs in the northwest area of the SUEZ system sooner. In that respect,
the value of the Eagle Water system acquisition to SUEZ could be valued at as much as $21.7M.
Other factors in the valuation consideration included the City of Eagle’s 2007 attempt to
purchase Eagle Water at a proposed $6.3M price plus $900,000 in financing cost, for an
estimated total cost of $7.2M. At that time, Cooper Norman Certified Public Accountants firm
expressed an opinion that the proposed purchase price and financing cost “was reasonable and
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5 - PAGE 2 OF 2
fair” to the City of Eagle. Published on its website, the City of Eagle also provided information
regarding the proposed Eagle Water company purchase, which included reference to a 2002
valuation performed by JUB Engineers that estimated the value of Eagle Water company assets
at that time, based on the replacement cost depreciation method, to be $6,728,593.
The SUEZ acquisition price of the South County Water Company system in 1998 was
$761 per customer, not adjusted for inflation, as referenced in case UWI-W-98-2 Linam
testimony pages 6-8. In SUEZ’s 2015 general rate case no. UWI-W-15-01, SUEZ’s system
investment was approximately $1,924 per customer at that time. SUEZ’s $10M Eagle Water
proposed purchase price represents an approximate investment per customer of $2,380. In
comparison, recent SUEZ small system acquisitions in New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas
averaged between $3,000 and $5,000 investment per customer.
Exhibit 1 Schedule 1a - Eagle Water Company projected capital and operating costs
absent an acquisition, includes SUEZ assumptions for cost of capital, a 3% depreciation rate, and
operating and maintenance costs based on Eagle Water’s 2017 Commission annual report,
excluding any inflationary factors. The Company expects that with the acquisition of Eagle
Water, SUEZ’s costs to maintain and operate the Eagle Water system would be $54,603 lower
versus Eagle Water’s 2017 reported expenses, as outlined in Cary testimony pages 7-8.

Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4: Please quantify the monetary value of each item
included in the list of “Identifiable synergies and efficiencies” listed on pages 8-11 of Thompson
testimony. Please identify whether the benefit is to current Eagle Water customers or current
SUEZ Water Idaho customers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4:
1) Eagle Water customers would benefit from lower operating expenses and increased capital investment.
Ms. Cary’s testimony starting on page 7 discusses the minimum $54,603
projected operating expense decrease anticipated under SUEZ operation versus
Eagle Water’s 2017 reported operating and maintenance costs of $611,863. The
savings anticipated are the result of eliminating office space rental at a cost
savings of $10,450 per year, by using SUEZ’s existing company offices. A
$44,153 reduction in salary and benefit costs is anticipated by SUEZ operating the
Eagle Water system with the addition of three employees – a meter reader,
operator and customer service representative versus Eagle Water’s existing
owner’s salary, staffing levels and benefit costs.
2) 24-hour automated system monitoring
SUEZ recommends that the Eagle Water system be monitored around-the-clock
through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and operated
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 2 OF 6
by two licensed, qualified operators. Ms. Cary’s testimony on page 6 discusses
the projected operating costs for the Eagle Water system to add a dedicated
SCADA operator at an estimated cost of $60,000 in payroll expense, plus benefit
costs. Ms. Cooper’s testimony starting on page 10 discusses the anticipated
$532,000 cost for adding SCADA controls at each Eagle Water facility. $250,000
of this capital investment includes a SCADA control room, database, historian,
radio path survey etc. which Eagle Water would need that SUEZ already has in
place.
3) Numerous field personnel trained and certified in water distribution, water
treatment, and cross connection control that are able to respond quickly to any issues;
In the company’s response to production request No. 10, several unaddressed
material deficiencies from the Eagle Water system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary
survey were detailed. Notably, this included a lack of appropriate state drinking
water licensure for that system’s lead operator (IBOL Drinking Water
Distribution Class II).
As a fully licensed system in both water distribution and treatment, SUEZ can
provide a fully licensed workforce where every utility worker and operator holds
required Class II licensure as a condition of employment. These employees staff
fully equipped repair and maintenance teams with materials on-hand from local
inventory and guaranteed stock contracts with local vendors. SUEZ’s field
personnel are available 24 hours per day for critical event response and issue
correction.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 3 OF 6
4) Web site access for customers and electronic billing and payment options;
The estimated average cost of designing, developing, and launching a website can
range from $5,000 for a basic website to $100,000 or more depending on features
for secure payment and integration of metering system data. SUEZ’s estimate for
Eagle Water to develop a customer website with a similar level of customer
service and information functionality and features as MySUEZWater.com is
approximately $50,000, with additional on-going hosting and maintenance
expenses. SUEZ’s incremental cost to incorporate Eagle Water’s 4,000 estimated
customers into its online platform is estimated to be minimal.
5) Capital Funding Access
SUEZ’s available capital budgets are substantial, as documented in Responses 12
and 13. In addition, SUEZ tracks assets and capital spending in accordance with
regulated utility guidelines and does not use surcharges as a regular means of
funding needed capital improvements.
6) Economies of Scale: National Contracts for Materials and Services.
SUEZ uses national and global buying power to negotiate favorable terms on
items that can be purchased from service providers and manufacturers. These
contracts would be used in all aspects of SUEZ’s transition and maintenance of
the Eagle Water system. For items used in direct operation of the system, Suez
has contracts with manufacturers for meters, pipe, valves, hydrants, and lab
testing/sampling equipment. The lab testing equipment contract provides
discounts of 17% to 20% off list price. Our experience has shown that the
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 4 OF 6
contracts for meters, pipe, valves, and hydrants are typically 30% to 50% lower
than prices that a distributor provides to smaller water systems.
Suez has negotiated contracts for support services not directly used in the
operation of the water system. Examples of these contracts include fleet, telecom
services, uniforms, PPE products, and office supplies. Discounts will vary by
item and service type. For example, telecom contracts provide a 19% to 21%
discount of service and equipment.
7) Water conservation programs and no-cost conservation devices
SUEZ’s comprehensive conservation program, approved by the Commission,
includes customer education and outreach, xeriscape demonstration gardens,
conservation devices including hose timers, sprinkler irrigation rain sensors,
commercial kitchen sprayers, hose timers, etc. The cost in 2009 of designing and
implementing the conservation plan was $192k.
It is the Company’s position that a lack of ongoing capital investment in the Eagle
Water System has provided a false impression of affordability to its current
customers. When compared to usage patterns from adjacent SUEZ customers,
Eagle Water customers use 150% the average annual volume per customer on
record for SUEZ customers in the same period (2017). If Eagle Water residential
customers were to conserve water to a similar level as the average SUEZ’s
residential customer they could reduce usage, and associated volume billing
charges, by up to 66%.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 5 OF 6
8) The ability to maintain the water system in regulatory compliance;
SUEZ has noted elsewhere in our response to these request that Eagle Water has
had difficulty meeting its current regulatory obligations. Notably, these
deficiencies can be found in the Company’s response to production requests No.
9, No. 10, and No. 11. Excerpts from these responses will be summarized again
here.
As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the Eagle Water system
does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity
(IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA
58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section
501.07).
The company’s response to request No. 10 details several unaddressed material
deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include
leaks and structural issues with Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II
licensure for the system’s lead operator.
Finally, in response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a
significant water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right
shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
In conjunction with SUEZ’s standards for system maintenance, sampling, and
operation, the capital investment plan offered in our testimony would bring Eagle
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 6 OF 6
Water Company assets up to utility and regulatory standards enjoyed by its
neighboring utilities. Further, the reasonable and stable rate structure proposed by
SUEZ would ensures these investments are maintained in the future to the benefit
customers.
9) The ability to spread costs of Eagle area capital improvements over a large customer base and avoidance of future surcharges.
SUEZ tracks all assets and capital investments in accordance with typical
regulated utility practices and does not regularly use surcharges as a means to
fund needed capital improvements. One benefit of a large water system that
Eagle Water customers would gain by joining SUEZ is that required costs are
spread over a large number of customers. The Redwood Creek Pipeline project is
a good example of this opportunity (addressed in Production Response No. 9).
SUEZ customers need the Redwood Creek Pipeline to transmit additional supply
to SUEZ’ Hidden Hollow Tank. Simple pressure reducing connections from this
pipeline into the Eagle Water system will remedy their IDEQ pumping shortfall
deficiencies.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 6: SUEZ Water Idaho proposes a three year rate
phase-in for Eagle Water customers after the acquisition (Cary testimony page 12, lines 6-15).
Please break down the portion of the increase that will be recovered through basic service
charges and the portion recovered through consumption rates. Please explain the method and
rationale used and provide all supporting workpapers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 6:
The proposed three-year rate phase-in for Eagle Water customers would align rates into
the existing SUEZ tariff rate structure, at an anticipated impact of $1,768,304 to create
uniformity among rate payers.
Exhibit 2 to the testimony calculates the $1,768,304 impact of the rate phase-in assuming
3,500 Residential customers with an average monthly consumption of 16ccfs with 70%
summertime consumption and 500 Commercial Customers with a 2” meter and 75ccfs of
monthly consumption and 85% summertime consumption.
Using the same assumption as outlined above, the portion of the $1,768,304 increase
expected to be recovered through basic service charges is $167,640 or 9.48%, while the portion
expected to be recovered through consumption rates is $1,600,664 or 90.52%. These figures are
calculated in the attached workpaper Response #6 Break down of increase.xlsx which is a
condensed version of Exhibit 2.

CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 7: Thompson’s testimony on page 8 states, “Suez’s
standards for plant maintenance, upgrades and replacements indicate that some substantial
capital investments should be scheduled over the next several years.” Please provide supporting
evidence including reports, analysis, etc. that demonstrates that the current Eagle Water system is
not providing safe, reliable service.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 7:
Whether a utility is providing, or is can provide, adequate service pursuant to Idaho Code
61-302 requires a legal conclusion. Evidence of Eagle Water Company’s current noncompliance
with regulatory requirements in several critical areas as provided by SUEZ in response to staff
production requests No. 9, No. 10, and No. 18 and the Direct Testimony of Cathy Cooper may
bear on this issue.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8: Please provide the documentation that supports the
increase of $158,750 in operating expenses as shown in Exhibit No. 1, Schedule 1a in Cary’s
testimony.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8:
The $158,750 operating cost increase projection over Eagle Water’s 2017 year-end
reported Operating & Maintenance costs, is based on the associated maintenance anticipated or
as a result of the projected $13.4M capital investment discussed in Ms. Cooper’s testimony that
SUEZ believes will be needed for Eagle Water system over the next three years.
The operating and maintenance costs projected for Eagle Water are based on SUEZ’s
own experience, cost history for similar items, and through an evaluation of the Eagle Water
system and its facilities during the due diligence investigation process. The costs are
conservative estimates without inflationary adjustments. SUEZ Operator wages avg. $60,000
per year, plus benefits. Based on the wage information provided by Eagle Water, SUEZ
anticipates that a licensed Operator at the level required by IDEQ for the Eagle Water system
would also warrant higher pay.
The $2,000 estimated annual power expense for adding SCADA monitoring equipment at
Eagle Water’s facilities, chemical feeds pumps, analyzers, RTU’s and pressure regulating valves
is based on SUEZ’s operating cost for similar type of equipment. The approximate $24,000 for
disinfection is based on SUEZ’s disinfection cost of $26.50 per million gallons based on Eagle
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8 - PAGE 2 OF 2
Water treating 895 million gallons annually. The cost of chlorine detector CL-17 reagents and
facility maintenance is also based on SUEZ’s cost history and through the evaluation of Eagle
Water facilities during the inspection. Well cleaning maintenance estimate is based on SUEZ
history of costs for this type of work with a variety of well depths and various methods. SUEZ’s
subcontractor costs for SCADA and GIS support, licenses and maintenance fees are the basis for
Eagle Water’s $5,000 anticipated cost. Generator maintenance needs and recommended testing
is based on SUEZ’s experience with similar equipment, and similar costs experienced by SUEZ
for landscaping upkeep and backflow device testing.

CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Cathy Cooper, Director of Engineering, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10: Please provide the regulatory requirements and
standards for the “disinfection needs” of Eagle Water Company as stated in Cary testimony page
5 line 12. Please include in your response the deficiency letters Eagle Water Company has
received as a result of water testing, or any other evidence supporting these needs.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10:
Providing a chorine residual in the distribution system of a water system is typical and
considered a best practice, although for systems supplied only by groundwater, chlorination is
not required by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). Chlorination is a
requirement for water systems that have any surface water supply, so at a point where the SUEZ
and Eagle Water systems are connected, chlorination will be required.
Chlorination has many benefits for any system, even those supplied only by groundwater.
Chlorine maintains sanitary conditions by neutralizing any bacterial contamination that may
enter a water system from a potential backflow or leak. It is also an indicator for system
operators of potential contamination. Chlorine residual is easily and quickly measured in the
field, making it a useful tool for operators. For example, if a chlorine residual of 0.5 mg/l is
expected at a system location, but a residual of 0.1 mg/l is measured instead, the measurement
results can be used to narrow in on a potential backflow or leak location.
To our knowledge, Eagle Water has not had bacterial contamination issues in their water
quality sampling results. The most recent IDEQ sanitary survey, however, flagged unsanitary
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10 - PAGE 2 OF 2
conditions at Well 2 due to “numerous leaks observed along the side walls of the tank” and the
tank “concrete roof is flat and pools water in low spots. Numerous cracks in roof were
observed”. There is no question the leaks and pooling issues should be fixed, but a chlorine
residual would provide an extra level of protection to customers against these types of potential
contamination.
Most water systems in the area provide chlorination for their water systems, even those
that are solely supplied by groundwater. Examples include the nearby water systems owned by
the City of Eagle and Garden City.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 11: Please provide the source documents for the
closing costs incurred to date. Did SUEZ Water Idaho competitively bid the ALTA survey? If
so, please provide the bids. If not, please explain why it was not competitively bid.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 11:
SUEZ Water Idaho did not competitively bid the ALTA survey work. At the time the
work was starting, the potential acquisition was confidential, making a bid process infeasible. In
addition, the work needed to be completed in a short timeframe by a surveying company with
prior experience doing ALTA surveys and prior experience coordinating with the TitleOne title
officer issuing title commitments for the numerous properties being surveyed and to be acquired.
The Land Group was selected for the work based on these requirements, and the scope of work
with The Land Group was authorized and signed by SUEZ’s counsel. SUEZ inquired with
another surveying company about completing the work, but they were unable to meet the
required timeline.
The closing costs incurred to date are in the following attachments:

CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15: Please provide the cost-benefit analysis
supporting the installation of new automated meters for Eagle Water Company customers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15:
SUEZ adopted its standards for automated meter reading on new and replacement meters
in 2015. This change from a manual meter reading standard made sense for many reasons.
Automated meters are a more efficient form of meter data collection. In response to
increased development demands and system growth (avg. 1,700 meters per year), SUEZ sought
automation of new meter connections as a way to contend with growth demands without
increasing the headcount for manual meter readers substantially. There is no expectation that
gains in meter reading efficiency will lead to any near-term headcount reductions from current
staffing levels, but the company is able to contend with growth. It is notable to mention that as a
result of these investments, meter reading personnel are beginning to shift from reading tasks to
more data-driven field service visits for leak investigations, water usage audits, and automated
system maintenance.
Automated meters improve customer service by providing a more complete record of
customer consumption patterns. With an average 60-day billing period for existing SUEZ
customers, manual meter reading will capture six (6) readings per customer meter annually.
Meters on the automated system collect a more complete profile of customer demand with hourly
readings totaling 8,760 per customer meter in the same period. This frequency greatly assists
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15 - PAGE 2 OF 3
engineers with demand analysis, and informs common customer service requests for move in/out
transfer readings, customer-side leak adjustments, and conservation improvements. In addition,
these meters provide unique functionality for automated reversal of flow alarms to augment the
Company’s backflow protection program.
These benefits of automated metering would extend to current Eagle Water customer as
they transfer service to SUEZ.
The Eagle Water system location makes extension of the SUEZ automated meter
collection system very practical. Radio collection towers read meters in the adjacent Floating
Feather and Island Woods areas. No additional radio collectors are anticipated for reading meter-
radio sets in the Eagle Water service area. Production Response No. 17 provides a detailed
breakdown of the planned transition for Eagle Water Customer meters from 2019 to 2021.
Similar to this technology’s application to support organic system growth, automated
meters can provide SUEZ with the capability of supporting meter reading and field service
activities to the Eagle Water System monthly with minimal head-count changes, including the
addition of one meter reading service person to SUEZ staff, for a total of 6 meter reading Service
persons per 100,000 customers. The system will also provide flexibility for SUEZ to read EWC
monthly accounts while existing SUEZ customers remain on bi-monthly billing.
Finally, an accurate and complete consumption history will be key to any current Eagle
Water customer concerned with managing affordability via conservation. While automated
meters are not required for online billing or consumption totals, customers with automated
meters and SUEZ’s online billing tools can link directly with hourly reading data and voluntary
conservation surveys to help manage consumption patterns. With the 2017 estimated average
annual per customer usage by current Eagle Water Residential Customers calculated at 218ccf
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15 - PAGE 3 OF 3
(hundred cubic feet), these tools may help customers reduce usage, and associated volume billing
charges, by up to 66% as compared to SUEZ residential customers whose 2017 average annual
usage for 2017 was just 145ccf.

CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Cathy Cooper, Director of Engineering, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 18: Please provide all workpapers supporting the
analysis of Eagle Water Company’s current portfolio of municipal water rights identified in
Cooper’s direct testimony page 5, lines 10-11. Please include schedules of the expected costs to
resolve Eagle Water’s standalone system of the water right issues.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 18:
The current water right portfolio for Eagle Water Company is deficient. Matching up the
authorized water right diversion rates with individual well capacities results in a total maximum
allowable flow rate of 5,023 gpm, which is 1,877 gpm short of Eagle Water’s peak hour flows of
6,900 gpm. The current water right portfolio for Eagle Water Company includes six licensed
water rights, summarized in the following table.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 18 - PAGE 2 OF 3
The following table matches up authorized municipal water right diversion rates with
available well capacities. This analysis shows that a total 5,023 gpm is available.
Eagle Water Company’s current maximum day demand is 4,600 gpm. The Eagle Water
production meters are read once daily, therefore no record of actual peak hour flows is available.
In the Treasure Valley area, peak hour demands are typically estimated at 1.5 times maximum
day demands, but in reality are often higher than that. Conservatively estimating peak hour
demand at 1.5 times maximum day demand results in a peak hour demand of 6,900 gpm. This
leaves a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
If Eagle Water Company were to resolve its water right shortage issues as a standalone
system, SUEZ anticipates that it would need to seek a water right transfer to make each Eagle
Water Well an Alternate Point of Diversion (APOD) for each existing water right. This action
could allow for the full 6,228 gpm current municipal water right limit to be utilized. In addition
Eagle Water would need to acquire additional water rights to cover the shortfall between 6,900

gpm and 6,228 gpm (672 gpm) through purchase or appropriation. The anticipated cost for
making each Eagle Water Well an APOD is estimated at approximately $25,000 in legal and
technical fees (as detailed in Response 19). The cost of acquiring additional water rights is
difficult to pinpoint, but could range from $25,000 (applying for a new water right) to hundreds
of thousands of dollars (purchasing an existing water right).

CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Cathy Cooper, Director of Engineering, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20: Please reconcile the charts shown in Cooper’s
testimony on pages 7, 8 and 11.
a. Are there projects listed on pages 7 and 8 that are duplicated on page 11? Please
explain.
b. Is the total cost actually the $30.141 million as shown on page 8 plus the $13.358
million shown on page 11 for a total of $43.499 million? Please explain.
c. Please identify which capital investments the Company would make with the
acquisition of the Eagle Water system and which capital investments the
Company would make without the acquisition of the Eagle Water system.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20:
a. Yes. The charts were prepared for very different purposes and therefore some of
the projects (or portions of projects) appear in multiple charts.
The charts on pages 7 and 8 are an analysis comparing only the costs of providing
approximately 12.5 MGD of additional and redundant supply. These charts
support the benefit of the acquisition to current SUEZ customers by
demonstrating that approximately 12.5 MGD of future supply can be provided for
$11.7M less “with the Eagle Water Acquisition” than “absent the Eagle Water
Acquisition.”
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20 - PAGE 2 OF 4
The chart on page 11 of the Cooper testimony shows project costs (or the portion
of project costs) that would directly benefit Eagle Water Customers. These costs
were used in the Eagle Water rate calculation presented in Cary’s testimony.
b. No. As explained in section (a) of this response, the charts were prepared for
different purposes. Adding the chart totals together would duplicate some project
costs.
c. The projects in the following table would be constructed absent the Eagle Water
Acquisition to provide additional and redundant supply to current SUEZ
customers.
Table from Page 7 Cooper Testimony:
If the Eagle Water Company acquisition is completed, the projects in the following table
would be constructed to provide additional and redundant supply to current SUEZ customers

repeaters if Eagle Water constructed the improvements, no OH on this portion.
Water Right Transfers to
add APODS to Eagle Water
and SUEZ Rights 56$
These transfers would allow the two delivery systems to be integrated in the future,
enhancing the reliability and flexibility of both. In addition, shared Eagle rights and
SUEZ rights would fill the current shortfall in Eagle Water rights to meet peak
demands. These transfers would eliminate the need for Eagle Water to appropriate
new water rights to fill its current shortfall.
Map Eagle Water System
into GIS and create
Hydraulic Model 27$
Provides the benefit of crews being able to rapidly locate buried infrastructure.
Inclusion in the model will allow for system optimization and targeted pipeline
replacement planning. This will also include the Eagle Water facilities into
Aquadvanced Energy, an energy-saving system operations platform.
PRV at Well 8 528$
PRV and portion of piping will interconnect the Eagle Water system with the Suez
system. Will provide access to fire storage volume in Hidden Hollow Tank for Eagle
Water customers. Benefit of supply and storage from Suez system.

PRV and portion of piping will interconnect the Eagle Water system with the Suez
system. Will provide access to fire storage volume in Hidden Hollow Tank for Eagle
Water customers. Benefit of supply and storage from Suez system.
Redwood Creek Pipeline 2,133$
The Redwood Creek pipeline will be the interconnection between the Eagle Water
system and the Suez system. This pipeline being in place will provide Eagle Water
customers with the benefit of being able to access source and storage from the Suez
system. The benefit is calculated on making up the redundancy shortfall in fireflow
for Eagle Water (1375 gpm). This would also cover the shortage in peak hour
redundancy (1175 gpm) and the emergency standby shortage (429 gpm). It won't be
available to EWC customers until the PRV at Well 8 is in place, which is why it has
been included in 2020. Cost calculated as a portion of the total pipeline cost, 1375
gpm / 7750 gpm (ultimate pipeline capacity with 1000 gpm being used locally in
Floating Feather and Eagle Water area to support current customers and growth
through 2021).

PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were
making the improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control
room, servers, database, and historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a
control room or associated amenities and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were
constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water portion of the costs does not have any overheads included.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2: Please identify and describe the escalation and/or
change in state and federal regulations mentioned on page 3 of Thompson testimony for the
years 2010 to present. Identify each agency or department requiring the regulation, and specify
whether each escalation/change in regulation is local, state, or federal in nature.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2:
The original intent of this referenced section from the Thompson testimony was to reflect
increased regulatory obligations that utilities such as SUEZ and the Eagle Water Company will
face in coming years. This includes, but is not limited to steps taken by the US Congress in 2018
regarding updates to portions of the Safe Drinking Water Act in America’s Water Infrastructure
Act of 2018, which was signed into law Oct. 23, 2018 by President Trump.
Rule making has yet to establish formal guidelines on this legislation. However, it is clear
that the recent legislative changes add to drinking water utility obligations in the following areas:
• stronger requirements for notification of contaminant spills to downstream water utilities
• encouragement to implement asset management practices
• codification that provision of Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) by electronic means are acceptable.
• Required publication of CCRs twice annually for systems of significant size.
• Revision of the format and content of CCRs
• Utilities must now show that they are updating security and resiliency provisions for their
facilities
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2 - PAGE 2 OF 3
Regarding lead and copper in drinking water, USEPA has indicated that a revised Lead
and Copper Rule will be proposed in 2019. The Revised Lead and Copper Rule is expected to
include new requirements for utilities to maintain inventories of distribution system materials,
select targeted sampling pools, and conduct public education. Existing state administration of
the current EPA rule set requires all drinking water utilities state-wide to sample for a growing
list of possible contaminants. The EPA’s Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR) is
in its 4th generation. A clear connection is being drawn between that rule and a recently revised
list of EPA Health Advisory Limits for common groundwater contaminants. EPA is also
proceeding with proposed regulations for some of the currently unregulated contaminants that
were included in previous rounds of the UCMR, such as perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS)
and 1,4-dioxane. Due to the relatively long timeline of USEPA rulemaking, State administrators
are under increasing pressure from the community to promulgate their own drinking water
regulations in advance of the federal initiatives. Regardless of system size, drinking water
utilities will be well served to plan ahead for increasingly stringent regulation of trace
contaminants.
Since 2010, changes have also been seen in utility account and tax regulation. In January
2018, the Idaho Public Utility Commission directed in its Order in PUC Case No. GNR-U-18-01
(“Generic Tax Order”) a series of requirements for utilities under its jurisdiction related to the
impacts of modifications to the Internal Revenue Tax Code by the implementation of The Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”).
TCJA reduced corporate income tax rates, which reduced current & deferred income tax
expense, accumulated deferred income tax and eliminated the exemption for water and sewer
utilities from recognizing CIAC as taxable income. SUEZ is currently in compliance with the
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 2 - PAGE 3 OF 3
directives and requirements set forth in that order. The Company is not aware of any filing by
Eagle Water Company in response to this same order. It is not known what accounting or
procedural hurdles Eagle Water may need to overcome to come into compliance with this
directive.
Regardless of recent changes or new regulations on the horizon, SUEZ notes that Eagle
Water Company has had difficulty meeting certain current regulatory obligations.These
deficiencies can be found in the Company’s response to Staff’s production requests No. 9, No.
10, and No. 18. Excerpts from these responses will be summarized again here.
• As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the current Eagle Water system does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.07).
• The company’s response to request number 10 details several unaddressed material deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include leaks and structural issues with Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II licensure for the system’s lead operator.
• In response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a significant water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3 - PAGE 1 OF 2
SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3: In reference to page 8 of Thompson testimony,
please demonstrate how the Eagle Water system has “suffered from less than optimal capital
investment” including deficiency reports from regulatory agencies, outage locations and
durations, and complaints of inadequate service from Eagle Water customers. Please also
provide the number of Eagle Water customers that have requested service from SUEZ Water
Idaho due to the condition of the Eagle Water system.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3:
A review of Eagle Water Company’s history of owner investment in the system versus its
accumulated depreciation demonstrates a non-optimal capital investment strategy over many
years. The calculated negative rate base of $1,208,792 as of December 2017 indicates that the
long-term capital investment needs of the system are not being met under current conditions.
Further, the Eagle Water system’s reliance on emergency surcharges, most recently from
2009 through 2016, shows how stressful reactive repairs have been for this water system.
Responding to urgent repairs is part of utility operations, but it should not become an immediate
funding need to customers.
A list of existing Eagle Water system deficiencies can be found in the Company’s
response to production requests No. 9, No. 10, and No. 18. Excerpts from these responses are
summarized here.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 3 - PAGE 2 OF 2
• As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the current Eagle Water system
does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.07).
• The company’s response to request number 10 details several unaddressed material
deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include leaks and structural issues with the Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II licensure for the system’s lead operator.
• Finally, in response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a significant
water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
In the Company’s due diligence efforts, no evidence was found indicating Eagle Water
maintains records of customer outages or complaints.
Since announcing its intentions to acquire Eagle Water Company assets, SUEZ received
and tracked numerous calls from current Eagle Water customers requesting information on the
PUC filing. We have not received any specific “requests for service from SUEZ Water Idaho due
to the condition of the Eagle Water system.” However, the call outlined below from January 4,
2019 highlights the perspective of one current Eagle Water customer who is optimistic for
improved water service.
Call Summary – January 4, 2019
A SUEZ employee spoke with a longtime Eagle resident and Eagle Water Company
customer who expressed his relief that SUEZ is seeking to purchase his water provider.
He has experienced many water service disruptions, including an outage that lasted 7 days. Eagle Water Company brought in potable water for his neighborhood, but it was still a hardship for his family.
This customer also complained of poor water pressure with Eagle Water, and mentioned
automated watering of his lawn is a challenge.
“Do I want my rates to go up? No, but I’m willing to take the risk with the sale that I’ll have better service,” he said.
He expressed support for the sale, believes SUEZ provides dependable service, and he wants that reliability for his community.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc. PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4: Please quantify the monetary value of each item
included in the list of “Identifiable synergies and efficiencies” listed on pages 8-11 of Thompson
testimony. Please identify whether the benefit is to current Eagle Water customers or current
SUEZ Water Idaho customers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4:
1) Eagle Water customers would benefit from lower operating expenses and increased capital investment.
Ms. Cary’s testimony starting on page 7 discusses the minimum $54,603
projected operating expense decrease anticipated under SUEZ operation versus
Eagle Water’s 2017 reported operating and maintenance costs of $611,863. The
savings anticipated are the result of eliminating office space rental at a cost
savings of $10,450 per year, by using SUEZ’s existing company offices. A
$44,153 reduction in salary and benefit costs is anticipated by SUEZ operating the
Eagle Water system with the addition of three employees – a meter reader,
operator and customer service representative versus Eagle Water’s existing
owner’s salary, staffing levels and benefit costs.
2) 24-hour automated system monitoring
SUEZ recommends that the Eagle Water system be monitored around-the-clock
through supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system and operated
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 2 OF 6
by two licensed, qualified operators. Ms. Cary’s testimony on page 6 discusses
the projected operating costs for the Eagle Water system to add a dedicated
SCADA operator at an estimated cost of $60,000 in payroll expense, plus benefit
costs. Ms. Cooper’s testimony starting on page 10 discusses the anticipated
$532,000 cost for adding SCADA controls at each Eagle Water facility. $250,000
of this capital investment includes a SCADA control room, database, historian,
radio path survey etc. which Eagle Water would need that SUEZ already has in
place.
3) Numerous field personnel trained and certified in water distribution, water
treatment, and cross connection control that are able to respond quickly to any issues;
In the company’s response to production request No. 10, several unaddressed
material deficiencies from the Eagle Water system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary
survey were detailed. Notably, this included a lack of appropriate state drinking
water licensure for that system’s lead operator (IBOL Drinking Water
Distribution Class II).
As a fully licensed system in both water distribution and treatment, SUEZ can
provide a fully licensed workforce where every utility worker and operator holds
required Class II licensure as a condition of employment. These employees staff
fully equipped repair and maintenance teams with materials on-hand from local
inventory and guaranteed stock contracts with local vendors. SUEZ’s field
personnel are available 24 hours per day for critical event response and issue
correction.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 3 OF 6
4) Web site access for customers and electronic billing and payment options;
The estimated average cost of designing, developing, and launching a website can
range from $5,000 for a basic website to $100,000 or more depending on features
for secure payment and integration of metering system data. SUEZ’s estimate for
Eagle Water to develop a customer website with a similar level of customer
service and information functionality and features as MySUEZWater.com is
approximately $50,000, with additional on-going hosting and maintenance
expenses. SUEZ’s incremental cost to incorporate Eagle Water’s 4,000 estimated
customers into its online platform is estimated to be minimal.
5) Capital Funding Access
SUEZ’s available capital budgets are substantial, as documented in Responses 12
and 13. In addition, SUEZ tracks assets and capital spending in accordance with
regulated utility guidelines and does not use surcharges as a regular means of
funding needed capital improvements.
6) Economies of Scale: National Contracts for Materials and Services.
SUEZ uses national and global buying power to negotiate favorable terms on
items that can be purchased from service providers and manufacturers. These
contracts would be used in all aspects of SUEZ’s transition and maintenance of
the Eagle Water system. For items used in direct operation of the system, Suez
has contracts with manufacturers for meters, pipe, valves, hydrants, and lab
testing/sampling equipment. The lab testing equipment contract provides
discounts of 17% to 20% off list price. Our experience has shown that the
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 4 OF 6
contracts for meters, pipe, valves, and hydrants are typically 30% to 50% lower
than prices that a distributor provides to smaller water systems.
Suez has negotiated contracts for support services not directly used in the
operation of the water system. Examples of these contracts include fleet, telecom
services, uniforms, PPE products, and office supplies. Discounts will vary by
item and service type. For example, telecom contracts provide a 19% to 21%
discount of service and equipment.
7) Water conservation programs and no-cost conservation devices
SUEZ’s comprehensive conservation program, approved by the Commission,
includes customer education and outreach, xeriscape demonstration gardens,
conservation devices including hose timers, sprinkler irrigation rain sensors,
commercial kitchen sprayers, hose timers, etc. The cost in 2009 of designing and
implementing the conservation plan was $192k.
It is the Company’s position that a lack of ongoing capital investment in the Eagle
Water System has provided a false impression of affordability to its current
customers. When compared to usage patterns from adjacent SUEZ customers,
Eagle Water customers use 150% the average annual volume per customer on
record for SUEZ customers in the same period (2017). If Eagle Water residential
customers were to conserve water to a similar level as the average SUEZ’s
residential customer they could reduce usage, and associated volume billing
charges, by up to 66%.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 5 OF 6
8) The ability to maintain the water system in regulatory compliance;
SUEZ has noted elsewhere in our response to these request that Eagle Water has
had difficulty meeting its current regulatory obligations. Notably, these
deficiencies can be found in the Company’s response to production requests No.
9, No. 10, and No. 11. Excerpts from these responses will be summarized again
here.
As noted in the Company’s response to request No. 9, the Eagle Water system
does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire pumping capacity
(IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA
58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section
501.07).
The company’s response to request No. 10 details several unaddressed material
deficiencies from the system’s most recent IDEQ sanitary survey. These include
leaks and structural issues with Well 2 facility, and a lack of appropriate level II
licensure for the system’s lead operator.
Finally, in response to request No. 18, Company analysis has determined a
significant water rights issue leaves Eagle Water with a peak hour water right
shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
In conjunction with SUEZ’s standards for system maintenance, sampling, and
operation, the capital investment plan offered in our testimony would bring Eagle
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 4 - PAGE 6 OF 6
Water Company assets up to utility and regulatory standards enjoyed by its
neighboring utilities. Further, the reasonable and stable rate structure proposed by
SUEZ would ensures these investments are maintained in the future to the benefit
customers.
9) The ability to spread costs of Eagle area capital improvements over a large customer base and avoidance of future surcharges.
SUEZ tracks all assets and capital investments in accordance with typical
regulated utility practices and does not regularly use surcharges as a means to
fund needed capital improvements. One benefit of a large water system that
Eagle Water customers would gain by joining SUEZ is that required costs are
spread over a large number of customers. The Redwood Creek Pipeline project is
a good example of this opportunity (addressed in Production Response No. 9).
SUEZ customers need the Redwood Creek Pipeline to transmit additional supply
to SUEZ’ Hidden Hollow Tank. Simple pressure reducing connections from this
pipeline into the Eagle Water system will remedy their IDEQ pumping shortfall
deficiencies.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila M. Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5: Please provide all financial analyses prepared by
or for SUEZ Water Idaho for estimating the value of Eagle Water’s system. If not clearly
labeled in the workpapers, please provide assumptions on the cost of capital and annual (or
quarterly, if applicable) expected revenue and costs, including book depreciation, tax
depreciation, income taxes, deferred taxes, property taxes, and other items typically included in a
discounted cash flow analysis.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5:
The Company did not determine the Eagle Water purchase price through a discounted
cash flow analysis because that valuation is highly dependent on regulatory treatment
assumptions. The negotiated purchase price and estimated value of the Eagle Water system to
SUEZ was substantiated by the avoided capital investment as outlined in Ms. Cooper’s testimony
starting on page 5. Including the $10M Eagle Water purchase acquisition price, SUEZ estimates
that $11.7M of additional planned capital investment would be avoided or deferred, while
addressing the supply needs in the northwest area of the SUEZ system sooner. In that respect,
the value of the Eagle Water system acquisition to SUEZ could be valued at as much as $21.7M.
Other factors in the valuation consideration included the City of Eagle’s 2007 attempt to
purchase Eagle Water at a proposed $6.3M price plus $900,000 in financing cost, for an
estimated total cost of $7.2M. At that time, Cooper Norman Certified Public Accountants firm
expressed an opinion that the proposed purchase price and financing cost “was reasonable and
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 5 - PAGE 2 OF 2
fair” to the City of Eagle. Published on its website, the City of Eagle also provided information
regarding the proposed Eagle Water company purchase, which included reference to a 2002
valuation performed by JUB Engineers that estimated the value of Eagle Water company assets
at that time, based on the replacement cost depreciation method, to be $6,728,593.
The SUEZ acquisition price of the South County Water Company system in 1998 was
$761 per customer, not adjusted for inflation, as referenced in case UWI-W-98-2 Linam
testimony pages 6-8. In SUEZ’s 2015 general rate case no. UWI-W-15-01, SUEZ’s system
investment was approximately $1,924 per customer at that time. SUEZ’s $10M Eagle Water
proposed purchase price represents an approximate investment per customer of $2,380. In
comparison, recent SUEZ small system acquisitions in New Jersey and Pennsylvania areas
averaged between $3,000 and $5,000 investment per customer.
Exhibit 1 Schedule 1a - Eagle Water Company projected capital and operating costs
absent an acquisition, includes SUEZ assumptions for cost of capital, a 3% depreciation rate, and
operating and maintenance costs based on Eagle Water’s 2017 Commission annual report,
excluding any inflationary factors. The Company expects that with the acquisition of Eagle
Water, SUEZ’s costs to maintain and operate the Eagle Water system would be $54,603 lower
versus Eagle Water’s 2017 reported expenses, as outlined in Cary testimony pages 7-8.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 6: SUEZ Water Idaho proposes a three year rate
phase-in for Eagle Water customers after the acquisition (Cary testimony page 12, lines 6-15).
Please break down the portion of the increase that will be recovered through basic service
charges and the portion recovered through consumption rates. Please explain the method and
rationale used and provide all supporting workpapers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 6:
The proposed three-year rate phase-in for Eagle Water customers would align rates into
the existing SUEZ tariff rate structure, at an anticipated impact of $1,768,304 to create
uniformity among rate payers.
Exhibit 2 to the testimony calculates the $1,768,304 impact of the rate phase-in assuming
3,500 Residential customers with an average monthly consumption of 16ccfs with 70%
summertime consumption and 500 Commercial Customers with a 2” meter and 75ccfs of
monthly consumption and 85% summertime consumption.
Using the same assumption as outlined above, the portion of the $1,768,304 increase
expected to be recovered through basic service charges is $167,640 or 9.48%, while the portion
expected to be recovered through consumption rates is $1,600,664 or 90.52%. These figures are
calculated in the attached workpaper Response #6 Break down of increase.xlsx which is a
condensed version of Exhibit 2.

PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 7: Thompson’s testimony on page 8 states, “Suez’s
standards for plant maintenance, upgrades and replacements indicate that some substantial
capital investments should be scheduled over the next several years.” Please provide supporting
evidence including reports, analysis, etc. that demonstrates that the current Eagle Water system is
not providing safe, reliable service.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 7:
Whether a utility is providing, or is can provide, adequate service pursuant to Idaho Code

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8: Please provide the documentation that supports the
increase of $158,750 in operating expenses as shown in Exhibit No. 1, Schedule 1a in Cary’s
testimony.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8:
The $158,750 operating cost increase projection over Eagle Water’s 2017 year-end
reported Operating & Maintenance costs, is based on the associated maintenance anticipated or
as a result of the projected $13.4M capital investment discussed in Ms. Cooper’s testimony that
SUEZ believes will be needed for Eagle Water system over the next three years.
The operating and maintenance costs projected for Eagle Water are based on SUEZ’s
own experience, cost history for similar items, and through an evaluation of the Eagle Water
system and its facilities during the due diligence investigation process. The costs are
conservative estimates without inflationary adjustments. SUEZ Operator wages avg. $60,000
per year, plus benefits. Based on the wage information provided by Eagle Water, SUEZ
anticipates that a licensed Operator at the level required by IDEQ for the Eagle Water system
would also warrant higher pay.
The $2,000 estimated annual power expense for adding SCADA monitoring equipment at
Eagle Water’s facilities, chemical feeds pumps, analyzers, RTU’s and pressure regulating valves
is based on SUEZ’s operating cost for similar type of equipment. The approximate $24,000 for
disinfection is based on SUEZ’s disinfection cost of $26.50 per million gallons based on Eagle
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 8 - PAGE 2 OF 2
Water treating 895 million gallons annually. The cost of chlorine detector CL-17 reagents and
facility maintenance is also based on SUEZ’s cost history and through the evaluation of Eagle
Water facilities during the inspection. Well cleaning maintenance estimate is based on SUEZ
history of costs for this type of work with a variety of well depths and various methods. SUEZ’s
subcontractor costs for SCADA and GIS support, licenses and maintenance fees are the basis for
Eagle Water’s $5,000 anticipated cost. Generator maintenance needs and recommended testing
is based on SUEZ’s experience with similar equipment, and similar costs experienced by SUEZ
for landscaping upkeep and backflow device testing.

workpapers of Eagle Water Company system showing that it does not meet IDEQ requirements
for redundant non-fire pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire
pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17) and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08
Section 501.07) stated in Cooper’s testimony page 5, lines 1-6. Please include schedules of the
expected costs to resolve the Eagle Water system requirements.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 9:
The existing Eagle Water Company system was analyzed for compliance with Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) regulatory requirements. Background information
on demands and well capacities are important in the understanding of the analysis, and this
information is presented first.
Water demands were calculated by reviewing historical information. The following table
shows maximum day and average day demand calculations for Eagle Water Company.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 9 - PAGE 2 OF 8
A summary of demands is shown in the following table. Since Eagle Water well house
meters are read manually once per day, there is no peak hour information available. A typical
(although often conservative) calculation for peak hour is 1.5 times maximum day demand,
which is the calculation used here.
During the due diligence period for the potential acquisition, SUEZ engineering and
hydrogeology staff collected field data and other available information to analyze capacities of
the existing wells. The summary of the analysis is shown in the following table. The total
available flow from wells at system pressures is currently 8,225 gpm.

Analysis for IDEQ purposes requires the calculation of “firm capacity,” or the volume of
water that can be produced with the largest source out of service. Firm Capacity for the Eagle
Water system is currently 5,725 gpm. Eagle Water wells 2, 7, and 8 have standby generators,
which provides a total capacity of 3,925 gpm with standby power capability. These numbers are
summarized in the following table.

It should be noted that Eagle Water’s Well 2 pumps into a 90,000 gallon storage tank,
and from there, three booster pumps boost water into the distribution system. It appears that the
booster pumps have a firm capacity of approximately 600 gpm (pump horsepowers are 25 hp, 25
hp, and 15 hp). While this is more flow than the well can provide, the tank is not large enough to
sustain the 600 gpm flows for more than about 2.5 hours if the tank starts full. Therefore, the
well capacity has been used in this analysis rather than the booster pumping capacity.
The analysis for compliance with IDEQ requirements is summarized in the table below.
The current Eagle Water system does not meet IDEQ requirements for redundant non-fire
pumping capacity (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.17), redundant fire pumping capacity (IDAPA
58.01.08 Section 501.18), and emergency operation (IDAPA 58.01.08 Section 501.07).

The expected costs to resolve the Eagle Water System capacity shortfalls are included in
the chart titled “Planned Capital Improvements that will Benefit Eagle Water Customers”
included in Cooper’s testimony on page 11 and reproduced on the following pages. The key
projects in making up the shortfall in all three of the IDEQ deficiency categories have been
highlighted. Note that this table only shows the portion of the project cost anticipated to benefit
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 9 - PAGE 6 OF 8
Eagle Water customers. The total cost of these projects that remedy IDEQ deficiencies and
benefit Eagle Water customers is $7.014M.
One project example is the Redwood Creek Pipeline. SUEZ is constructing the Redwood
Creek Pipeline to transmit additional source of supply to SUEZ’s Hidden Hollow Tank. The
pipeline is being constructed whether or not SUEZ acquires the Eagle Water Company assets.
Having the pipeline in place will allow for the Eagle Water and SUEZ systems to be easily
interconnected, which will remedy the shortfalls in non-fire, fire, and emergency operation
pumping capacity that Eagle Water currently has. The total cost for the Redwood Creek Pipeline
is $12,022M (Cooper’s testimony, Pages 7 and 8), with the portion benefitting Eagle Water
Company customers calculated at $2,133M (Cooper testimony page 11, table reproduced on
following page).
The planned improvements PRV at Well 8 and PRV at Well 6 will allow water from the
SUEZ system to flow into the Eagle Water Company system, making up for the shortfalls in all
three of the IDEQ deficiency categories and remedying these issues. These projects will use
water from SUEZ’ Hidden Hollow Tank to provide any additional flows to the Eagle Water
Company system. The Hidden Hollow Tank is already fully used by SUEZ customers, but will
provide an adequate back-up supply for Eagle Water on an interim basis without negative
impacts to current SUEZ customers. To utilize supply from the SUEZ system through the
proposed PRVs at wells 8 and 6, which will remedy the IDEQ deficiencies, SUEZ’s Redwood
Creek Pipeline project must be in place, as it is the connection to Hidden Hollow Tank.
The proposed 2 MG tank is the project that will permanently bring the Eagle Water
Company system into compliance with IDEQ requirements and provide peak hour and fire flows
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 9 - PAGE 7 OF 8
to the majority of the Eagle Water system. It is planned to be in place during 2021. The PRVs at
wells 8 and 6 will always be available for additional or redundant supply from the SUEZ system.
The total cost of these improvements that will benefit Eagle Water Customers by
providing a remedy to the IDEQ pumping capacity shortfalls the system currently has is
$7.014M.

system. The benefit is calculated on making up the redundancy shortfall in fireflow
for Eagle Water (1375 gpm). This would also cover the shortage in peak hour
redundancy (1175 gpm) and the emergency standby shortage (429 gpm). It won't be
available to EWC customers until the PRV at Well 8 is in place, which is why it has
been included in 2020. Cost calculated as a portion of the total pipeline cost, 1375
gpm / 7750 gpm (ultimate pipeline capacity with 1000 gpm being used locally in
Floating Feather and Eagle Water area to support current customers and growth
through 2021).

PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were
making the improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control
room, servers, database, and historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a
control room or associated amenities and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were
constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water portion of the costs does not have any overheads included.

RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10 - PAGE 1 OF 2
SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Cathy Cooper, Director of Engineering, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10: Please provide the regulatory requirements and
standards for the “disinfection needs” of Eagle Water Company as stated in Cary testimony page
5 line 12. Please include in your response the deficiency letters Eagle Water Company has
received as a result of water testing, or any other evidence supporting these needs.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10:
Providing a chorine residual in the distribution system of a water system is typical and
considered a best practice, although for systems supplied only by groundwater, chlorination is
not required by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ). Chlorination is a
requirement for water systems that have any surface water supply, so at a point where the SUEZ
and Eagle Water systems are connected, chlorination will be required.
Chlorination has many benefits for any system, even those supplied only by groundwater.
Chlorine maintains sanitary conditions by neutralizing any bacterial contamination that may
enter a water system from a potential backflow or leak. It is also an indicator for system
operators of potential contamination. Chlorine residual is easily and quickly measured in the
field, making it a useful tool for operators. For example, if a chlorine residual of 0.5 mg/l is
expected at a system location, but a residual of 0.1 mg/l is measured instead, the measurement
results can be used to narrow in on a potential backflow or leak location.
To our knowledge, Eagle Water has not had bacterial contamination issues in their water
quality sampling results. The most recent IDEQ sanitary survey, however, flagged unsanitary
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 10 - PAGE 2 OF 2
conditions at Well 2 due to “numerous leaks observed along the side walls of the tank” and the
tank “concrete roof is flat and pools water in low spots. Numerous cracks in roof were
observed”. There is no question the leaks and pooling issues should be fixed, but a chlorine
residual would provide an extra level of protection to customers against these types of potential
contamination.
Most water systems in the area provide chlorination for their water systems, even those
that are solely supplied by groundwater. Examples include the nearby water systems owned by
the City of Eagle and Garden City.

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Jarmila Cary, Director of Finance, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 11: Please provide the source documents for the
closing costs incurred to date. Did SUEZ Water Idaho competitively bid the ALTA survey? If
so, please provide the bids. If not, please explain why it was not competitively bid.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 11:
SUEZ Water Idaho did not competitively bid the ALTA survey work. At the time the
work was starting, the potential acquisition was confidential, making a bid process infeasible. In
addition, the work needed to be completed in a short timeframe by a surveying company with
prior experience doing ALTA surveys and prior experience coordinating with the TitleOne title
officer issuing title commitments for the numerous properties being surveyed and to be acquired.
The Land Group was selected for the work based on these requirements, and the scope of work
with The Land Group was authorized and signed by SUEZ’s counsel. SUEZ inquired with
another surveying company about completing the work, but they were unable to meet the
required timeline.
The closing costs incurred to date are in the following attachments:

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Cathy Cooper, Director of Engineering, SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 14: Please provide the cost breakdown for the $11.7
million capital cost avoidance. Include in the response: a) analysis that shows need for new
sources of supply; b) other options that were studied; and c) the cost-benefit analysis for the
other options.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 14:
The cost breakdown is shown in the tables on Pages 7 and 8 of Cooper’s testimony
(reproduced below). These tables analyze only costs associated with providing approximately
12.5 MGD of additional and redundant supply. The $11.7M capital cost avoidance comes from
subtracting the cost of providing 12.6 MGD of supply that could be developed “with Eagle
Water Acquisition” ($30.1M) from the cost of providing 12.5 MGD of supply “absent the Eagle
Water Acquisition” ($41.8M). $41.8M minus $31.4M equals $11.7M. The capital cost avoidance
largely results from not having to complete the Marden Surface Water Treatment Plant
expansion, the Island Woods Connection, and the Optimist Booster Pump Station projects before
2022 if the Eagle Water Company acquisition is completed.
Table from Page 7 Cooper Testimony:
RESPONSE TO STAFF REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 14 - PAGE 2 OF 8
Table from Page 8 Cooper Testimony:
a) The need for new and redundant sources of supply was calculated by reviewing historical
data and projecting forward. For the SUEZ system, an average 1,750 connections per
year have been added in recent history, with a maximum day demand per connection of
0.66 GPM. 1,750 connections at 0.66 GPM each equates to an additional supply need of
1.66 MGD per year. The following table shows the data and calculated average
information.

COMPASS growth projections for the Eagle area were used to calculate a projected
annual growth rate in households of 5.4%. This annual growth rate was used to project an
average annual increase in the Eagle Water Company required Maximum Day Demand
of 0.38 MGD per year through 2021.
The calculation for needed additional and redundant source of supply that wraps in all of
this previous information is shown in the following table. Note that for the SUEZ system
alone, supply need is calculated through 2022 to correlate with the timeframe for
projected supply improvements “absent Eagle Water Acquisition.” For the Suez and
Eagle Water Company systems together, the supply need is calculated through 2021 to

b) and c) SUEZ and a consultant completed the Northwest Area Water Supply Study in
2017 to examine alternatives available for supply in the Eagle area. To capture
cost/benefit, a “cost per MGD” was calculated for each alternative. Note that the costs
computed in the study have had local and corporate overheads added to be comparable to
the SUEZ supply improvements alternatives. The “SUEZ SUPPLY IMPROVEMENTS”
option costs have been converted from $/MGD (shown in the table on pages 7 and 8 of
Cooper’s testimony) to $/GPM. The following graphic includes each alternative

SUEZ WATER IDAHO INC.
CASE SUZ-W-18-02 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF
Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Marshall Thompson, Vice President & General Manager SUEZ Water Idaho Inc.
PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15: Please provide the cost-benefit analysis
supporting the installation of new automated meters for Eagle Water Company customers.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15:
SUEZ adopted its standards for automated meter reading on new and replacement meters
in 2015. This change from a manual meter reading standard made sense for many reasons.
Automated meters are a more efficient form of meter data collection. In response to
increased development demands and system growth (avg. 1,700 meters per year), SUEZ sought
automation of new meter connections as a way to contend with growth demands without
increasing the headcount for manual meter readers substantially. There is no expectation that
gains in meter reading efficiency will lead to any near-term headcount reductions from current
staffing levels, but the company is able to contend with growth. It is notable to mention that as a
result of these investments, meter reading personnel are beginning to shift from reading tasks to
more data-driven field service visits for leak investigations, water usage audits, and automated
system maintenance.
Automated meters improve customer service by providing a more complete record of
customer consumption patterns. With an average 60-day billing period for existing SUEZ
customers, manual meter reading will capture six (6) readings per customer meter annually.
Meters on the automated system collect a more complete profile of customer demand with hourly
readings totaling 8,760 per customer meter in the same period. This frequency greatly assists
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15 - PAGE 2 OF 3
engineers with demand analysis, and informs common customer service requests for move in/out
transfer readings, customer-side leak adjustments, and conservation improvements. In addition,
these meters provide unique functionality for automated reversal of flow alarms to augment the
Company’s backflow protection program.
These benefits of automated metering would extend to current Eagle Water customer as
they transfer service to SUEZ.
The Eagle Water system location makes extension of the SUEZ automated meter
collection system very practical. Radio collection towers read meters in the adjacent Floating
Feather and Island Woods areas. No additional radio collectors are anticipated for reading meter-
radio sets in the Eagle Water service area. Production Response No. 17 provides a detailed
breakdown of the planned transition for Eagle Water Customer meters from 2019 to 2021.
Similar to this technology’s application to support organic system growth, automated
meters can provide SUEZ with the capability of supporting meter reading and field service
activities to the Eagle Water System monthly with minimal head-count changes, including the
addition of one meter reading service person to SUEZ staff, for a total of 6 meter reading Service
persons per 100,000 customers. The system will also provide flexibility for SUEZ to read EWC
monthly accounts while existing SUEZ customers remain on bi-monthly billing.
Finally, an accurate and complete consumption history will be key to any current Eagle
Water customer concerned with managing affordability via conservation. While automated
meters are not required for online billing or consumption totals, customers with automated
meters and SUEZ’s online billing tools can link directly with hourly reading data and voluntary
conservation surveys to help manage consumption patterns. With the 2017 estimated average
annual per customer usage by current Eagle Water Residential Customers calculated at 218ccf
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 15 - PAGE 3 OF 3
(hundred cubic feet), these tools may help customers reduce usage, and associated volume billing
charges, by up to 66% as compared to SUEZ residential customers whose 2017 average annual
usage for 2017 was just 145ccf.

RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 18:
The current water right portfolio for Eagle Water Company is deficient. Matching up the
authorized water right diversion rates with individual well capacities results in a total maximum
allowable flow rate of 5,023 gpm, which is 1,877 gpm short of Eagle Water’s peak hour flows of
6,900 gpm. The current water right portfolio for Eagle Water Company includes six licensed
water rights, summarized in the following table.
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 18 - PAGE 2 OF 3
The following table matches up authorized municipal water right diversion rates with
available well capacities. This analysis shows that a total 5,023 gpm is available.
Eagle Water Company’s current maximum day demand is 4,600 gpm. The Eagle Water
production meters are read once daily, therefore no record of actual peak hour flows is available.
In the Treasure Valley area, peak hour demands are typically estimated at 1.5 times maximum
day demands, but in reality are often higher than that. Conservatively estimating peak hour
demand at 1.5 times maximum day demand results in a peak hour demand of 6,900 gpm. This
leaves a peak hour water right shortfall of 1,877 gpm (6,900 gpm minus 5,023 gpm).
If Eagle Water Company were to resolve its water right shortage issues as a standalone
system, SUEZ anticipates that it would need to seek a water right transfer to make each Eagle
Water Well an Alternate Point of Diversion (APOD) for each existing water right. This action
could allow for the full 6,228 gpm current municipal water right limit to be utilized. In addition
Eagle Water would need to acquire additional water rights to cover the shortfall between 6,900

gpm and 6,228 gpm (672 gpm) through purchase or appropriation. The anticipated cost for
making each Eagle Water Well an APOD is estimated at approximately $25,000 in legal and
technical fees (as detailed in Response 19). The cost of acquiring additional water rights is
difficult to pinpoint, but could range from $25,000 (applying for a new water right) to hundreds
of thousands of dollars (purchasing an existing water right).

PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were making the
improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control room, servers, database, and
historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a control room or associated amenities
and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water
portion of the costs does not have any overheads included.

PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were making the
improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control room, servers, database, and
historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a control room or associated amenities
and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water

b. Is the total cost actually the $30.141 million as shown on page 8 plus the $13.358
million shown on page 11 for a total of $43.499 million? Please explain.
c. Please identify which capital investments the Company would make with the
acquisition of the Eagle Water system and which capital investments the
Company would make without the acquisition of the Eagle Water system.
RESPONSE TO PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20:
a. Yes. The charts were prepared for very different purposes and therefore some of
the projects (or portions of projects) appear in multiple charts.
The charts on pages 7 and 8 are an analysis comparing only the costs of providing
approximately 12.5 MGD of additional and redundant supply. These charts
support the benefit of the acquisition to current SUEZ customers by
demonstrating that approximately 12.5 MGD of future supply can be provided for
$11.7M less “with the Eagle Water Acquisition” than “absent the Eagle Water
Acquisition.”
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20 - PAGE 2 OF 4
The chart on page 11 of the Cooper testimony shows project costs (or the portion
of project costs) that would directly benefit Eagle Water Customers. These costs
were used in the Eagle Water rate calculation presented in Cary’s testimony.
b. No. As explained in section (a) of this response, the charts were prepared for
different purposes. Adding the chart totals together would duplicate some project
costs.
c. The projects in the following table would be constructed absent the Eagle Water
Acquisition to provide additional and redundant supply to current SUEZ
customers.
Table from Page 7 Cooper Testimony:
If the Eagle Water Company acquisition is completed, the projects in the following table
would be constructed to provide additional and redundant supply to current SUEZ customers
and Eagle Water customers.

SUEZ SUPPLY INVESTMENTS WITH EAGLE WATER ACQUISITION
RESPONSE TO STAFF PRODUCTION REQUEST NO. 20 - PAGE 4 OF 4
Project Title 2019 2020 2021 Benefit Summary
Add chlorination at Wells
2, 4, 6, 7, 8 56$
Chlorine residual in distribution system, protection against contamination risk. $10k
plus OH per site.
SCADA at each Facility
(Wells 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 2
boosters), control room
and associated hardware
and software 532$
SCADA controls at each facility will allow for 24-hour monitoring of system operations.
Includes $250 for a control room, database, historian, radio path survey, etc if Eagle
Water constructed the improvement (no OH on this portion). $35k per site, $5k
contingency, plus OH.
Meter and Service
Replacements (2,000 @
$1500 each)1,129$ 1,129$ 1,129$
Half of EWC meters - fix problematic meter locations, move into right-of-way, lessen
depth for safety and access. Install AMI meters. The benefits of AMI meters
include continuous reporting, with customers able to see water usage through the
Suez website, leak detection, and backflow detection.
Meter Replacement with
AMI (2000 @ $388)454$ 438$
Half of EWC meters - Install AMI meters in existing meter boxes. The benefits of AMI
meters include continuous reporting, with customers able to see water usage through
the Suez website, leak detection, and backflow detection. Includes $16k for two
repeaters if Eagle Water constructed the improvements, no OH on this portion.
Water Right Transfers to
add APODS to Eagle Water
and SUEZ Rights 56$
These transfers would allow the two delivery systems to be integrated in the future,
enhancing the reliability and flexibility of both. In addition, shared Eagle rights and
SUEZ rights would fill the current shortfall in Eagle Water rights to meet peak
demands. These transfers would eliminate the need for Eagle Water to appropriate
new water rights to fill its current shortfall.
Map Eagle Water System
into GIS and create
Hydraulic Model 27$
Provides the benefit of crews being able to rapidly locate buried infrastructure.
Inclusion in the model will allow for system optimization and targeted pipeline
replacement planning. This will also include the Eagle Water facilities into
Aquadvanced Energy, an energy-saving system operations platform.
PRV at Well 8 528$
PRV and portion of piping will interconnect the Eagle Water system with the Suez
system. Will provide access to fire storage volume in Hidden Hollow Tank for Eagle
Water customers. Benefit of supply and storage from Suez system.
PRV at Well 6 341$
PRV and portion of piping will interconnect the Eagle Water system with the Suez
system. Will provide access to fire storage volume in Hidden Hollow Tank for Eagle
Water customers. Benefit of supply and storage from Suez system.
Redwood Creek Pipeline 2,133$
The Redwood Creek pipeline will be the interconnection between the Eagle Water
system and the Suez system. This pipeline being in place will provide Eagle Water
customers with the benefit of being able to access source and storage from the Suez
system. The benefit is calculated on making up the redundancy shortfall in fireflow
for Eagle Water (1375 gpm). This would also cover the shortage in peak hour
redundancy (1175 gpm) and the emergency standby shortage (429 gpm). It won't be
available to EWC customers until the PRV at Well 8 is in place, which is why it has
been included in 2020. Cost calculated as a portion of the total pipeline cost, 1375
gpm / 7750 gpm (ultimate pipeline capacity with 1000 gpm being used locally in
Floating Feather and Eagle Water area to support current customers and growth
through 2021).
2 MG Tank 2,006$ 2,006$
Will bring Eagle Water into compliance with IDEQ peak hour and fire flow supply and
redundancy requirements
Pipeline Replacements
(1% per year) 305$ 305$ 305$
0.6 miles of pipeline replacement per year. First years will target undersized lines or
lines at higher risk of breakage.
Safety and Security
Improvements 28$ 28$ 28$ Arcflash analysis and improvements, eyewash stations, fall protection at facility sites.
Production Roll-Up Work 113$ 141$ 141$
Pump replacements, HVAC, production meter replacements, pumping facility
upgrades, landscaping, sampling stations, generator replacements, add water level
monitoring in wells, etc
Totals $2,700 $6,708 $3,950 $13,358
Costs (in 000's)
PLANNED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BENEFIT EAGLE WATER CUSTOMERS
The improvements in this table have overheads added except for portions of improvements that would be completed if Eagle Water were
making the improvements. For example, with respect to needed SCADA control for the Eagle Water system, SUEZ already has a control
room, servers, database, and historian computers to support the addition of SCADA at the Eagle Water facilities. Eagle Water does not have a
control room or associated amenities and would have to purchase them to implement functional SCADA control if Eagle Water were
constructing the improvement itself. The Eagle Water portion of the costs does not have any overheads included.
