SECOND PRODUCNON REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF TO TETON WATER AND SEWER
COMPANY ; 'II :
Prepared by:
Jon Pinardi, Teton Springs Water and Sewer Company, Manager
(208) 3s4-02s5
April74,2022
For the record, on April 12th we completed the mailing of notice to all of the Company customers. On
April 14th, notice was sent to the ldaho Falls Post Register Newspaper as well as KIFI and KIDK television
stations.
REqUEST NO. 31: Provide a thorough and complete description of the current water system. This
should include any deficiencies that can be identified that need to be addressed to maintain system
integrity and to support growth, as well as any changes/lnvestments that the Company plans to
implement to address deficiencies relative to items included below. lnclude the costs and benefits for
any investments or increases in expense.- This question is confusing in that at seems to pre-suppose that there are deficiencies within the
system outside of those articulated as the purpose for this rate case.- The requirement for additional water production to support growth and create system
redundancy in the event of well failure as well as provide for funds for future leak repair is the
purpose of this case.- For the record, we do not believe there are deficiencies outside of the stated purpose for this
rate case. We have not asked for increased investment or expenses in any of these areas. That
said, we will attempt to provide a description of the requested areas:- PROCESSES AND METHODS. This should include processes involved in the delivery of water and
business processes (i.e. billing, maintenance, customer support etc.);
o I am very unclear as to exactly what is being requested here:
o Billlng
we use euickbooks and bill on a quarterly basis maintaining a list of those
people who wish to receive their invoices either by paper or electronically.
Some customers choose to pay on an auto-pay basis whereby we automatically
charge their credit/debit card, others wish to pay electronically from the
invoice, others choose to mail checks as payment.. On the off-invoice months, we send statements as payment reminders.. At the end of the quarter, if payment has not been made, we send a final
statement reminder with notice of shut-off within 15 days if payment is not
made.
o Maintenance - | am sorry, is this a request for what regular and periodic maintenance
we conduct on the system. lf so, please see Exhibit 18.o customer:Tt[:Lr
staffed Monday-Friday from 8:00-5:00. customers can cail or
email, there is voicemail with a cell number for emergency response. Calls,
messages and emails are responded to either same day or next day.
t._: i.:
MANPOWER/STAFFING, including the amount of labor and the level of expertise/experience.o The Company does not have any staff. Staffing is provided by way of the Management
Contract in place with Teton Management Services.o As mentioned, the office is staffed weekdays 8 hours per day. Al! customer questions
related to billing or customer seruice can be answered. Any questions requiring more
information are directed to the owner.o Office calls and most emails are answered by the accountant/bookkeeper with over 10
years experience. More difficult questions or field questions are answered by the owner
with decades of experience.
EQUIPMENT/INFRASTRUCrURE/SOFTWARE, both direct (i.e. pipes, tanks and pumps)and
indirect (maintenance equipment, computers).o Atain, I apologize, this questlon is very unclear. ln essence, we handle all regular and
routine maintenance and repairs to all direct and indirect systems in-house. Whenever
something is beyond our scope such as excavation, engineering, professional services,
pump maintenance/technology, we contract that work with a variety of vendors.
o Many of the vendors we use have worked with the system for 10-20 years and we have
relationships with them whereby they respond quickly to emer8encies when necessary.
In this part of the state, these vendor relationships are critical to system maintenance.
POLICIES AND STANDARDS (i.e., service level, maintenance turnaround time)o As mentioned above, we almost always respond same day and often immediately or
within hours.o For emergencies, we are on-call 2417 , our goal, if there is an emergency we are on-site
in not more than t hour, regardless of time of day or conditions. For non-emergencies,
we work with the customer to schedule times that fit thear schedule.
MATERIAIS (productive material used for water quality, spare parts inventory)o We have always tried to maintain a small quantity of everything required for
emergencies as well as for regular maintenance.o ln2O2l, with significant supply and parts shortages, as well as growing lead times and
construction activity, we decided to increase our supply of parts for all repairs and
maintenance. We also decided to carry spare parts for a broader variety of items that
could fail (i.e. fire hydrant replacement parts, main-line corp stop saddles), again, this
was due to the experience of trying to get parts and struggling with lead tirnes,
availability and delivery.o ln our area, it is almost impossible to get parts same day, often not same week and at
tames, not same month.
REQUEST NO. 32: Provide a current system map showing the location and elevation of major
equipment including wells, pipes, storage tanks, booster pumps, shut-off valves, meters, fire hydrants
and water treatment equipment.- For current system map, see attached E-mail As-Builts Exhibit 19- For well pump, motor, storage tank, booster pump and water treatment equipment, see Exhibit
20.
REQUEST NO. 33: Provide construction installatlon drawings for the current water system including plan
drawings, section drawings, detail drawings, specifications and installation requirements:- See attached E-mailAs-Builts Exhibit 19 as in Request 32.
REqUEST NO. 34: Provide a hydraulic model of the system showing the results for each of the following
operating scenarios: (1) low flow condition; (2) peak hour condition; and (3) maximum day plus fire flow
condition.- We do not possess a hydraulic modelof the system.- For all 3 conditions, our system is designed to provide constant pressure and flows. Historical
pressures throughout the system range from about 65 psi to 100 psi depending on location
within the system. This includes during fire flow testing where we see about 1350 gpm of flow
at 55 psi residual.
lnclude the following information for each resulting scenario:
a. Distribution system graphical representation showing the primary components;o We do not possess a graphical representation showing the primary components
b. Primary component parameters
o See Exhibit 20 as in Request 32.c. Piping segment materials, lengths and diameterso See Attached Email As-Builts Exhibit 19
d. Piping noda! elevations
o See Attached EmailAs-builts Exhibit 19
e. Operating Scenario parameters;
o Nodal Pressures - 55 to 100 psi throughout system, most above 90 psi
o Piping Segment Flows - We do not have this information other than from fire flow
testing
o Pump Operating Parameters - Pumps turn on when the tank is at 20.5' and turn off at
22'. During peak summer use, average flows from Wellfl are about 320 gpm and Well
#2 about 55 gpm.
o Well Static Water Leve! - See Exhibit 20
o Storage Tank Level - See Exhibit 20
REQUEST NO 35: For Fire Prevention, provide the following:- The Fire Authority who provides requirements for the system is the Teton County ldaho Fire
District.- Fire flow and storage requirements prescribed by the fire authority;
o 1000 gpm for not less than 2 hours a residual pressure of not less than 20 psi.
REQUEST NO 36: Provide information related to the capacity and sizing of the system and the ability of
the system to meet historicaland future system peak demand. lnformation would include not only
capacity/constraints of/in the system, but also consumption and consumption at peak periods,
- The information in Request No. 35 is at the heart of our request for this rate case as described in
the Application and has been dealt with through prior correspondence and orders with the
Commission dating back as far as 2011 with Case No. TTS-W-11-01. Further correspondence and
orders include:o Case No. TTS-W-11-01, see First Response for Production dated November 2,2017,
Exhibit 21
o Case No. TTS-W-17-01, see Application dated October tO,2017, Exhibit 22
o Case No. TTS-W-19-01, see Application dated November 16,2019, Exhibit 23
o Case No. TTS-W-20-01, see Application dated February 18, 2020, Exhibit 24- Monthly consumption data is provided for 2018-2021 as Exhibit 25.
REQUEST NO 37: Provide the most recent ldaho DEQ Sanltary Survey;- This is a duplicate request from the First Production Request, see Exhibit 4 from that request.
REQUEST NO 38: Provide the ldaho DEQ Licensed System Operator who will be responsible for the
operation and maintenance of the system, provide the following information:- Name, Llcense Number and Class and Business Address;o Jon Pinardi
o Drinking Water Distribution - Class 1 - DWDl-17831o 3940 Grand Street, Driggs ldaho 83422
REQUEST NO 39: Provide the ldaho Department of Water Resources Right Numbers for each water
right used by the system.- 22-13t78
REQUEST NO 40: For each well ln the water system, provide the following:- IDWR WellTag Number-See Exhibit 20- location - See Exhibit 20- Well Log - See Exhibit 25
REQUEST NO 41: Provide all studies, reports or regulatory requirements stating the need for a new
third and fourth well.- There have been no formal studies, reports or regulatory requirements regarding the new wells.
What we know is that we will need to increase our production capacity in the future to provide
for water service for the system's customers. Perhaps more importantly, we must provide for
redundancy of the system. We know for a fact that if something were to happen to Well #1, we
would run out of water in a matter of hours as the current Well fl2, as far back as 2011, has not
been able to keep up with demand during peak season.- Regarding Well ff3 and a Well S4, we would like to empfiasize, we may need more wells than
that in the future. lt appears that, with the exception of Well #1, future wells are likely to only
produce in the range of 60 gpm......since we get 300+ gfm from Well #1, that means we may
potentially need 5 wells producing 50 gpm to make up fpr its !oss.- For reference of our reasoning, please refer to all of thf prior correspondence and Commission
cases referenced in Request No.36, Exhibits 27-24.
REQUEST NO 42: Provide all contractor bid proposats for the in[taltation of any new well.- We collected bids from two well-drilling companies as vlell as a number of vendors in 2019-
2020. Some cost estimates were not bids but estimateJ. Uttimatety, we contracted with one of
the drillers who ended up never showing up. Subsequentl% we tried to get the second company
to do the work but they too did not show up and, in facf, were not entirely forthright about their
intention to do the work.- See Exhibit 27 for the bids from the welldrillers and Ca{e No. TT$W-20{1 (Exhibit 24)for a
complete list of al! of the estimates at that time.- Subsequent to both drillers lack of professionatism and follow-through, we decided to go back
to Buchanan Well Drilling (formerly Andrews Well Drillifrg) and Roger Buchanan. He had drilled
both of our existing wells and had done repair and mai$tenance work over the years. We did
not require or ask for a bld, we wanted him to do the (ork and he has been trustworthy over
many Years.- Regarding bids, given inflationary pressures on paftt
bid or estimate we received earlier no longer applies.
e{uiRment, labor and transportation, any
Also, as it relates to our strategy for Well 83, and potentially Well f4, we believe that the new
plan to run plumbing and electricalthrough the existing Well#l Control Building is a more cost
effective way to get the wells complete. This compares to the original Well Location (at the
Forest Boundary) and welldesign.
It might well be that future wells, either #.0 or future f5 plus will need their own well control
buildings and different locations, that will be dealt with at that time.
REQUEST NO 43: Provide monthly flow rate data for each system well pump and each booster pump
during the past three years.- See Example 25.- There are no booster pumps. Flow rate data is not able to be saved in our SCADA system, we
spot check and as mentioned, during peak season we are averaging 300-320 gpm from Well S1
and 50-55 gpm from Wells2 during extended run rycles.
REQUEST NO 44: Provide monthly electric bills for each system well pump and each booster pump
during the past three years.- This is a repeat request from the First Request for Production - See Exhibit 2 from that Request.
REQUEST NO 45: Provide information related to the capacity and sizing of the system and the ability of
the system to meet historicaland future system peak demand. This information should include not only
capacity information, but also any constraints within the system to meet peak demand. Also, provide
information on average consumption, consumption at peak periods and future forecasted consumption.- As addressed in Requests No. 36, No. 41 and No. 45, the ability of the system to meet future
peak demand is the heart of this Application, the ability to fund future wells as well as repair
leaks so water produced is not wasted.- Other than water production and water loss through leakage, there are no constraints on the
system relative to meeting future peak demand.- Because we are not a metered system, average consumption can only be developed by taking
daily/weekly/monthly consumption and dividing it by the number of customers. Because some
customers are commercial whereas others are multi-family and single family residential, an
average is only moderately useful. That said, given that there were about 306 customers during
peak period in2O2L, peak daily usage was 436,773 gallons or approximately 1,4010 gallons
average usaBe.- For future consumption, if we assume peak production capability is about 500,000 gallons per
day with our two existing wells, if the pumps run24l7 we could add not more than 45 more
customers before we are at capacity.- Given that we have 36 paid connection fees since 2020, and if we assume that all of these
homes will begin construction and be complete in summer of 2024 (2 year build cycle), we could
only add 9 more connections before we reach capacity without new producing wells.- I must reaterate, production capacity for the future :s at the heart of this application, but so too
is the issue of redundancy of the system in the event of a well failure.
REQUEST NO 46: Provide details of the Company's system leaks (i.e., count, location, line size, expected
cause of failure) and explain the method of repairing the leak to prevent future leaks.- See Exhibit 28.

Daily Operational Procedures
Overview
Yes, these are things that are generally done every day. ln the winter or off-season, these items
may be done 3-4 days per week depending on water and sewer flows and weather.
SCADA - Recording Dailv Flows
At a designated time each day (i.e. 5:30 am), either by reading the SCADA computer screen in
pumphouse #1 or accessing remotely via GOTOMYPC, record the totalflow quantity for pump
1, pump 2 and sewer on the monthly excel spreadsheet. Also if the pumps are running, record
the GPM.
Make sure to "PollTank" and let 10 second timer run and make sure "green" light
comes on and goes off. This will assure you are getting readings and that the SCADA
system has not "frozen". lf it has frozen, you must reboot the computer.
Make sure date and time at bottom of the computer screen are accurate. This also is an
indicator that the computer or SCADA system has "frozen" and you are not getting
accurate information. lf the date and time are incorrect, reboot the system.
There have been instances where the computer or SCADA system froze, upon reboot,
the water tank was dangerously low because if the system is frozen, it will not tell the
pumps to turn on or off when required.
Also outlined in the "Monthly Routine" section, on the last day of each month, reset the
SCADA totalizers for both wells and the sewer station to Zero. This sets up the system
for reading for the following month. Read under "Monthly Routine" for entire process.
It is important to take this reading at the same time each day for an accurate daily comparison,
especially from May through October. ln the winter, you may take readings every few days but
then average the reading. This accounts for the fewer times that the pumps will run each day
in the winter.
The goal of these readings is to know the average daily flow rates as well as identifo peaks as
well as changes over time. ln other words, if there is a spike not attributed to filling a
swimming pool or landscape irrigation, it could be the sign of a leak that has begun.
The other goal of this is to know how the wells and pumps are performing on a daily basis, are
there fluctuations in gallons per minutes. ls the well production reaching it's maximum
potential, this would be a problem as it means you may run out of water without something
being done (reduce irrigation, fix leaks, increase production)
Pump Well Buildine lnspections
Go to each building and conduct the following:
r
,J
-t?(D
?
Q,Q
a
\
a
a
o
o When entering the building, look around....does everything appear normal.
. ls the temperature normal or as it abnormally warm or cold?o Are there any water leaks from any piping?
o Are there any chlorine leaks from injector tubing?o ls the chlorine injector leaking?
o Do you'SMELL" chlorine?o Is the outside water faucet leaking?o Enter the chlorine room.....same inspections...everything normal, no leaks?o Read the chlorine level, and calculate gallons used from the prior dayo Move the "duct tape" on the tank for tomorrow's readingo Record date, time, chlorine level and usage on record in building.o Also record anything that you observed or did in the building that day, including
adjustments to chlorine system, replacing injector, etc.o Make sure pump "depth" is reading today's date and time. lf not, unplug from wall,
wait a few seconds and plug it back in again. For some reason, it likes to "freeze".o Securely lock building
Sewer Lift Statlons
Each day, a drive-thru should be conducted of the 7 lift stations. The items to be visually
inspected are:
o Open the lift station lid and look inside:o Does everything look norma!?o Does the water level appear abnormally hi8h or lowo ls the pump running? lf it is running, wait for it to stop to see if it stops at the level
above the bottom of the lift pump. This is a good way to know if the programming of
the float levels and transducers are functioning properly.r ls there grease build-up? lf so, should liquid bacteria be added or perhaps a grease
block? Should it be pumped out to remove grease buildup?o Look at the outside of the Lift Station Control Box:o ls the warning light on the top on? This is a high or low level alarm light and more
investigation is immediately required.o ls one of the pump seal lights red lights lit up on the side of the panel. This is not
normally an emergency but could mean that a pump seal has gone bad and should be
inspected as soon as practical. Rebuilding a pump is about 25%the cost of buying a new
pump.
General Drive Through all Streets
Do not exceed speed limit and be courteous at alltimes, you are representing the Company.
Each day, the operator should drive all of the streets. What you are looking for is anything out
of the ordinary or that appears different:
o Do you see any sign of puddles or leaks or water accumulation?o Be sure to look on streets, edges of roads, empty lots, yards.....look everywhere
g,J,aa
Gtt
a
ac
r This could be rainfall or irrigation...it could also be a leak! Make note of it for further
review.o Stop at each construction site and do visual inspection from vehicle (get out if
necessary).o Does everything appear norma!. Any signs of water leakage or accumulationo Have contractors driven over or damaged curb boxes, adjacent lots, staking, meter pits,
anything?r lf a lot is getting close to installing the meter pit, stop and talk to the excavator (if on-
site)to discuss regulations and requirements
Weekly Operations
There is not much additional to do on a weekly basis that is not accomplished in the daily
routine. There are 5 specific items to address:
o lf your daily drive through doesn't present opportunities to inspect construction sites' and discuss requirements with the excavator who may be installing water/sewer, this is
when you should accomplish this task. The point is to convey "exactly" what we expect
for installation of utilities and to do inspections as necessary.o Drop off any required meter pits and accessories to construction sites.o Fill chlorine tanks in both well control buildingso Conduct any genera! housekeeping of well control buildingso Conduct inventory of accessories to order as necessary.
Monthly Operations
As in weekly operations, there is not much additional to do on a monthly basis that is not
accomplished in the daily or weekly routine. There are 4 items to address:
Critica! ltem - On either the first or second Monday of each month, you must conduct
the DEQ required "Total Coliform Test" as outlined in the methods section. Historically,
this test has been conducted in the office of the Hotel as it is always open and accessible
12 months out of the year.
Other Testing - es required by DEQ on the Annual monitoring schedute found in the
ldaho DEQSwitchboard, conduct any water sampling.
On the last day of each month, while doing your daily SCADA recordkeeping, RESET the
totalizers for both wells and the sewer station to Zero. This will prepare SCADA for the
next months readings.
Complete the SCADA log for the prior month for both wells and the sewer stataon and
prepare the next months SCADA excel sheet for recordkeeplng.

Annua! Operations
For annual operations, there are only a few items to accomplish but they are somewhat time
consuming:
Water Leak Detection - This is best done in the spring after the snow melts but before
native grasses begin to grow. The process uses the leak detection equipment owned by
the company and involves listening to the following:o Every curb box on every lot, developed and un-developedo Every main line isolation valveo Everyfire hydrant
o

a
a
fr3Ji.g+
e)sb
a
GD
Fire Hydrant Testing -This is best done in late October after the majority of the
seasonal folks have left as it can "stir up" the water and create customer complaints.o 2 Hydrants are tested using the company owned equipment. Test results should
easily surpass 1000 gpm, usually in the 1300 gpm area.
o A report is completed and emailed to the Teton County Flre Marshall with a copy
to Grand Teton Property Management, the Homeowner Association
administrator.
Fire Hydrant Flushing - Also, best done in late October, usually the same day as the
hydrant testing. Teton Springs is separated into 3 zones with 1 zone completed each
year on a rotating basis. lt is best of a few days advance notice is provided to
homeowners in the zone that wil! be affected as their water will be cloudy for anywhere
from 4-8 hours. Best done on a weekday in late morning.
Valve Exercising - This can be done at any time during the year and over multiple days
and weeks as there is no impact on customers. The process involves physically closing
and opening every isolation main valve on the system, making note of full movement.
o 8" Main lines are 3 turns per inch so somewhere between 24-26 turns tota!.
Once closed, listen by placing your ear on the valve key to make sure it is silent.
Open fully to complete process.
o 12" Main lines, also 3 turns per inch so about 36-38 turns total. 12" main lines
only exist from where the main goes up the hillto water tank, along Rendezvous
Trai! to the valve cluster where the gravel path goes to the restroom behind the
l1th tee box on the golf course.
Replace Batteries - This is actually done every 2 years and usually in October (that way
they are fresh for winter so you don't have to trudge through deep snow to get to them
to change them). These are the low voltage batteries in all of the communication boxes
that deliver data to the SCADA computer. There are 2 boxes in Pumphouse 1, 1 Box in
Pumphouse 2, 1 Box at the Water Tank and 1 Box at the Victor Sewer Outflow Station
on 9500 South. Write the date of replacement in a sharpie on the front of the battery
for easy future reference.

RESPONSE TO IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
PRODUCTTON REQUEST TO TETON SPRINGS WATER
Prepared by:
.fon Pinardi. Teton Springs Water and Sewer Company. Manager
Rick Nansen. Teton Water lnc. President. Contract Operator
Bob Ablondi. Rendezvous Engineering. Idaho P.E. 5994
November 2. 20ll
REQUEST NO. l: In referencc to Well No. l, pleasc respond to the following questions:
a. How old is the pumping system (years)? Well No. I was originally drilled in
the spring of 2000 as an exploratory well and the first supply well lbr the Teton
Springs development. It was initially designed as an alluvial gravel well. targcting
the shallower sand and gravel deposits common to this area of the Teton Valley.
Horvever. the upper zone of gravels (rvhich were logged to a dcpth of about 450
feet) did not yield significant waler production (< 20 gpnr) and rcsulted in the
drilling of a much deeper (800 ft) bedrock rvell to provide the necessary supply.
The linal completed well tapped a decper and more substantial waler source tlrat
involved an unnamed fractured volcanic rock lbrmation u,hich although capable
of flows in excess of 500 gpm, has resulted in the discharge tinc sediments rvhen
pumped at rates higher than about 250 gpm. This deeper fornration also produces
warm water (95-98F+/-) and exerts an artesian pressure that resultcd in a static
rvater level of about 2 feet (below ground surface) at the time ol'cornpletion.
The sediment is inherent to the fractured bedrock formation that supplies walcr to
this well and has over time accelerated the nonnal rate of wear and tear to the
submersible pump. A temporary pump rvas first installed in the well in 2000 to
supply rvater during the initial development and construction phase. A permanent
submcrsible punlp and control building was constructed in early 2004 as the rnain
water system for thc development was completed. However. the initial three
phase power service provided by the local porver cooperalive had loss of phase
and unbalanced voltage problems which causcd a premature motor fhilurc in latc
2004. A new motor was installed in late 2004. Nerv power lines rvere installed in
the Victor. Idaho area which eventually reduced electrical issues due to phase
failure and imbalance.
As the well use increased in 2004 and 2005 with the gro\uh of the Teton Springs
Development, there were additional sedirnent problems that resulted in a major
rehabilitation of Well No. I in late 2005 and early 2006. This included re-
developrnent of the well with compressed air for about 4 full days to llush out
sediments that had accumulated in the bottom of the wcll over time. ln addition.
a steel perforated liner rvas installed in the bottom 320 feet of the well. A nerv
pump end was also installed at this time. It is this same pump end and motor that

was recentl)' replaced in 201l. Following this rehabilitation work, the well
continued to produce fine sediment for the first 3 to 4 minutes of operation during
each start-up. Although this situation has improved over time. fine sediment and
coloration is still observed when during the first few minutes ol'operation when
pumped at a high rate.
Although less than ideal, the well has produced good quality water in substantial
quantities over time and continues to serve as the nrajor potable water source tbr
the development.
b. Please provide An assessment of why the pump/motor failed. The following is
a summary of the observed tlows in leton Springs Well No. I which led to the
concerns about the well and the scheduling of maintenance rvork that took place
this past summer:
Early 2007 approximately 325 gpm on average
Early 2008 approximately 235 gpm on average
Earll'2009 approximately 235 gpm on average
Mid 2009 approximately 235 gpm on average
Early 2010 approximately 200 gpm on average
Mid 2010 approximately 235 gpm on average
Late 2010 approximately 145 gpm on average
Early 201 I approximately 180 gpm on average
Although pump failure due to age/demand/usage is normal, it is believed that the
warrn water associated with this formation (97 degrees) reduced the life
expectancy by the increasing the temperature of the motor u.indings and
accelerating the natural breakdown of the motor insulation. In addition as
previously described, this well was subject to sedinrent issues which caused
additional wear and tear on the pump end impellers, bearings and related parts.
It is also believed that the failure was caused by the breakdorvn of the plastic
electrical tape, commonly used by rvell drillers to attach the power rvire to the
drop pipe. As the tape (more specifically, the adhesive) was broken down by the
long temr exposure to warm water, it "sluffed off'and caused blockage of the
pump intake screen. This did not occur rapidly, but over tinre. This could not be
deternrined until the pump was pulled and visual inspection made. This condition
rvith the tape blocking the intake screen also helps explain the erratic flow rates
observed since 2007.
Over time. pump capacity was observed to diminish. This rvas not steady or
regular as noted in punrp logs. After all of the "above ground" tests were
conducted. it was determined that there were some electrical issues. Upon
resolution of these items. there was no improvement in the well produclion. It rvas
therefore concluded that the pump/motor required an actual physical/visual
inspection.

When the pump/motor assembly was pulled from the rvell. there rvas some tapc
collected on the intake screen of the pump. This did not represent a complete
blockage. When pulled apart, the pump's physical rotation did not respond well
when operated (bearing failure. obvious physical abnormalities in the volute and
shaft). The motor had similar issues as the amperage draw exceeded
manufacturer's speciflrcations. It appeared that the system had been operating
under severe intake restrictions at times. As the pump/motor was pulled from the
rvell. it rvas noted that the tape was nrissing or falling offat various points.
While there may not have been enough tape on the intake screen to explain
pumping perfbmrance at that particular moment, it most likely uas an important
factor.
After the installation of the new components, delivery was 500+ gpm on startup
and maintained approximately 350 gpm on continued operations. It was felt that
the rvell was repaired and operations could resume to normal, as such. Andrews
departed the site.
Unfortunately. within 24 hours, production diminished quickly upon pump
cycling and continued operation. As the pump came on, production rvas 350 gpm,
however. after twenty minutes, it dropped to 175 gpm and afler 40 minutes to 130
gpm. The cause of diminished production was unknown, however, we felt that
either the tape issue was larger than originally suspected or there was possibly a
problem with the new pump or motor or a problem with the actual well or its
capacity. We contacted Andrews immediately to schedule a retum as quickly as
possible to re-pull the system and determine the problem.
When the new pump/motor was pulled again, the problem was contirmed.
Significant remaining tape in the well had created a blockage on the intake screen
sufficient to reduce capacities. It was determined that. most likely, the amount of
tape on the screen determined flow capacity at any given time. In addition. some
of the tape on the screen became perforated and allowed flow changes depending
on number of holes and actual blockage. It rvas believed that when the punrp
rvould cycle off, some or all of the tape would fall oft. When the pump cycled on.
the tape rvas picked up and accumulated on the screen creating the inconsistent
production patterns noted over time.
Norv faced with the dilemma of an unknown amount of tape in the well. it u,as
decided to use compressed air to air lift the tape material out of the rvell casing.
similar to the process used in well drilling and development. A significant amount
of tape was expelled. It was then determined that this procedure should be
performed again in the future as pumping rates indicated or capacity diminished.
The new power wire was attached to the drop pipe with stainless steel strapping to
prevent a repeat occurrence.

c. Please explain why the Company replaced both thc pump and thc motor
(Andrerv Well Drilling Invoice No. Ql l-0605). Did both of them fail?
As stated previously. physical and electrical assessment of both components was
performed. The problem with the pump end was quite obvious as rolation rvas not
satisthctory. The motor was also replaced due to the lack of smooth rotation and
excessive amperage draw. Also given the age of the equipment (6 to 7 years old).
the cost to mobilize a service rig and pull the submersible pump and the
importance of this rvell to the operation of the system. the safest nrost prudent
decision was to install all new equipment.
d. Please cxplain whether the size and capacig of the pumping unit replaccd
(gpm for the pump and hp for the motor) are of the same specification
compared to the size and capacity of the pumping unit recently installed. If
not, please explain the reason(s) rvhy they are different.
The pump was replaced as originally specified in design. Availability and time
constraints were the determining factor of choice as to brand. However.
the same Goulds TCLC 40 hp pump and submersible motor, as \ras lirst installed
in the well in 20M. was reinstalled in 201l. See attached pump cun'e.
G. Please explain why the Company installed a new check valve. (Andrerv Well
Drilling Invoice No. Qll-0605).
A nerv check was installed due to the nature of repairs. While basic field test were
performed, failure was noted. Whether obstructions in the past had created failure
or some present obstruction existed. the device rvas not performing at an optimunr
level and rvas replaced.
A new check valve was installed due to the nature of repairs. Failure was noted
during basic field tests. Whether obstructions in the past had created tbilure or
some present obstruction existed, we believed it had been compromised and
should be replaced. The costs of pulling the system again were also a factor.
Given the age of the check valve (originally installed in 2004) and potential cost
and impacts to pull the submersible pump in the event of a check valve failure, it
is comnron practice to replace this relatively inexpensive componenl as a
preventative maintenance measure rvhen the opportunity arises.
As a note, we requested from Andrews to have as many components on-site as
possible for use during the repair period. Not all of the parts requested to be on-
site rvere used. Due to our rural setting and the timely availability of parts. this is
a prudent. normal and necessary practice to avoid extending the time-frame of
repairs. Adequate potable water supply and fire protection were of utmost
importance and the repair windorv was small. The electrical cable rvas also
gttt(-

c,
-o
a,
FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST TO.IE'TON SI'RINGS WATER 4 ocToBER t9.201I
replaced as inspection noted chafing had occurred due to the loss of the tape and
the insulator had been compromised. While we may have attained more
operational time fronr the older components that were replaced. the failure of any
one of them in the near term would have caused loss of rvell operation.
f. Please provide a copy of the pump cunves for the nen' and the replaced
pumping units. Attached is a pump curve for Well No. l, Coulds 7 CLC 40 hp.
The same model pump as was originally used in 2004 was reinstalled in 201I
REQUEST NO. 2: In reference to Well No. 2, please respond to the following question.
a, Horv old is the pumping system (years). Well No. 2 rvas originally drilled in
late 2001 and early 2002 as a second exploratory rvell and backup supply for the
development. A well site was selected in the southcast corner of the project based
upon the recommendations of knorvledgeable geologists to increase the potential
for a cold water well and to avoid some of the quality issues that occurred with
the first Teton Springs well. The well drilling targeted fracture zones rvithin the
local underlying Madison Limestone bedrock. The well construction was not
linally completed until late 2003 when the final surlhce grout seal u'as installcd.
Well No. 2 was drilled to a total depth of I140 feet and encountered limestone
from about 360 feet to the total depth of the well. However throughout the
drilling. only small quantities of water were observed as the encountered bedrock
was not highly fractured. The drilling took place over several months as rvork
took place in the winter and was prolonged due to the depth of the well. The well
rvas completed with a six inch steel liner through the entire depth from surface to
about 1050 feet. The bottom 90 feet (1050 to I140) had collapsed or filled with
material at the tinre the liner rvas installed. The steel liner was perforated fronr
985 to 1045.
When the well was pump tested, it was apparent that it was able to produce rvater
at a higher rate (- 150 gpm) during the first few hours of the test. mostly due to
storage in the well casing and surrounding aquifer. However as the well was
pumped for a longer time period, the production rate diminished (to -75 gprn) as
the rvater level in the welldrew down at a slow but steady rale. Because the well
was so deep and the static water was al about 40 feet (below ground surface) there
was large drawdown depth available, providing the opportunity to utilize the
available storage.
Well No. 2 was connected to the main distribution systern at about the same tinre
that WellNo.l rvas completed in early 2004. At this tirne a 150 gpm pump
(Goulds 20 hp 5CHC) rvas installed to provide maximunr capacity for short
durations. It rvas also the intention to use this well as a backup to Well # L
Hou'ever. after gaining additional experience relative to the perforrnance of this
well and the aquifer, it was determined the discharge valvc on the rvell punrp
piping had to be throttled to reduce the maximum pump output to about 75 to 80
gpm. A dedicated sounding tube rvas installed in this uell in order to monitor the
lftrJtvTDa
TU

drawdown in the well during operation. The same motor and pump equipment
remained in the well until recently replaced in 201 l.
Although production is limited by conditions rvithin the aquifer. Well No. 2 does
produce good quality cold water and is helpful in blending with the $ann waler
from Well No l.
b. Please provide an assessment of why the pump/motor failed. The main cause
of failure rvas the long term exposure to over pumping conditions where the rvell
drerv dou,n the water level and caused the well pump to cavitate and pump air.
l'he shock of the air pumping affected both the motor rvith sudden increases and
decreases in motor amperage and purnp end rvith mechanical shock caused by
rapid changes in pressure.
While the original inspection/replacement of #l was occurring, Well #2 rvas the
only source of rvater causing it to draw doun further over time . As repairs
(previously mentioned) uere being pertbrmed. rve were operating at very high
demand levels in the subdivision. This required Well # 2 to operate continuousll'.
24 hours per day, for several days. When determined that Well #l had to bc
pulled again. there was no option other than continued use of Well #2.
We believe that during the required continuous operation of Well #2. the aquilbr
was drawn down beyond its sustainable capacity. As the water level dropped to the
level of the pump intake. cavitation occurred. causing both pump and motor to fail.
No indication \ryas noted during operation. other than the inability to start pump #2
after it had "kicked" oft'. Although the motor was protected by a Motor Savor unit
which is designed to sense a change in amperage, thc repeated drawdown and shut
off of the pump and motor increased wear and tear over time. It was determined
that the Motor Saver circuit was functioning properly and a physical/visual
inspection of the pump and motor would be required. Said inspection revealed
failure of both motor and pump.
The long term use and obsenation of Well #2 had detemrined that a smaller
capacity pump/motor would be a better fit for actual well conditions. When it rvas
noted that Well #2 had failed. the opportunity arose to replace punlp with a smaller
unit that would better fit the longer term production rate. Due to the size change.
both a new pump and motor was installed. All other components including power
wiring. electrical controls and piping remained the same.
c. Please explain rvhy the Company replaced both the pump and the motor
(Andrerv Wcll Drilling Invoice No. C-5045). Did both of them fail?
As stated, the pump was changed to meet the actual aquifer conditions. Soundings
were performed and well depths were noted and demonstrated that the wells rvas
not to be able to support the 20 hp pump. The 7.5 hp design rvould maintain
nraxinrum sustainable t'lows s,ithout causing drawdown concerns as had occurrcd
rttaT(Daa,

FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST TO.TETON SPRINGS WATER 6 ocToBER r9.20r r
with the 20 hp system.ln summation: the previous 150 gpm flows @ Well #2 were
too much for the present aquifer. The current 70-90 gpm by the 7.5 hp system rvas
perfbmred rvhile noting drawdown @ peak usage. This levcl is sustainable with
this pumping rate.
d. Please explain whether the size and capacity of the pumping unit replaced
(gpm for the pump and hp for the motor) are of the same specification
compared to thc size and capacity of the pumping unit installed. If not, please
explain the reason(s) why they are different. The sizing was reduced to meet
actual current aquifer capacity of Well # 2. As previously discussed. this rvell had
a history of lower production rates when it was requircd to operate f'or sustained
time periods. Also. given that this rvell generated water from deep bedrock
sources. the potential to enhance florv from this well was limited. The snraller
capacity pump will also enable this well to operate at a more eficient and
productive level when pumped on a sustained basis.
e. Please explain rvhy the Company installed a new chcck valvc. (Andrew Well
Drilling Invoice No. C-5045). As previously mentioned. if there was any doubt
about a component. it was most prudent to replace rather than request another
sen ice call to pull the pump. Field tests showed seepage during testing. Also given
the depth of the pump setting and age of the equipment, the replacement of the
check valve was done as a preventative maintenance action.
l. Please provide a copy of the pump curves for the new and the replaced
pumping units. Attached are both the original pump curve (20 hp. Goulds
5CHC) and replacement pump curve (7.5 hp, Goulds SRWAL).
REQUEST NO.3: The Company indicated that the pumps failed in July and August 201l.
Application, page 2. lt is Staf?s understanding that both pumping units rverc
installed approximately at the same time when the rvater system rvas
developed. Please provide an explanation or your theory as to rvhy both
systems failed almost at the same time.
For clarilication. both pumping units were not installed at the same time as
explained above.
As explained in Request #1, because of the steadily declining output of Well #l
over time and dramatic reduction seen in late 2010. we planned to have the
purnp/motors pulled for a review of the problem and corrective action taken as
necessary. We believed that the reduced production of this well not only put our
custoners supply at risk during high demand periods or if another problem
occurred. but also put undo hardship on well #2. We planned for this work to be
done in the spring of 201 I before summer demand occurred. Due to vendor
FJ1-iterD
tl

FIRSI- PRODUCTION REQUEST TO.TETON SPRINGS WATER 7 ocToBER t9.201I
availability. however, we could not schedule the work until late June to July. This
did not give us cause for concern as all other systems were operating normally.
ln planning for the initial work on #l to be completed, rve verified well #2 rvas
operating normally and we had a full 500,000 reservoir. therefore. we anticipated
no problems.
At the time rvell #l was oflline for the initial repairs, the reservoir was drarvn
doum from 25 feet to 14 feet. Had the initialrepairs gone as planned. #l would
have come back on line at full capacity and. with #2. replenished the reservoir and
all systems would have been normal. However. when #l failed to operate at
capacity. the combined output of both wells was able to maintain only about l8
feet in the resen'oir. Although not ideal, we believed this was an adequate
reservoir level provided we could identiff and repair the problem with well #l
relatively soon.
We were in communication with Andrews Well Drilling and Rendezvous
Engineering about scheduling their return to do a drawdown tesl on rvell #l and/or
to pull the new pump and motor to deternrine the production problem.
At tlris precise time, while awaiting the return to assess well #1, rvell #2 ceased
operating. Regular pump re-start protocols were ineffective and we immediately
moved into emergency operations due to the already partially depleted reservoir
and inability of well #l to re-fill the reservoir or keep up with demand.
We immediately contacted Pump-Tech to assess well #2. lt was our hope that it
was something in the motor-saver circuit, electrical or control panels. Upon their
arrival and testing. it was determined that everything "above-ground" was
operating normally, that the problem was in the well with the pump and/or motor.
As mentioned, we had been in communication with Andrews and they were trying
to arrange to get their equipment back to Teton Springs as quickly as possible.
With this new development, not only did we need to pull #l again. we needed to
pull #2. Andrews agreed to retum immediately and we uent about emergency
repairs to avoid a loss of water service and/or fire suppression service to all of the
customers of the utility.
As indicated in both Request #l and Request #2, the reason tbr the lbilures nrre
different. It is our belief that there is no direct correlation between the failure of
the 2 rvells. it was a coincidence and happened at the worst possible time. The
hearS demand and fact that Well # 2 had to operate on a more continuous basis
while Well # I was either compromised or taken out of sen'ice for repairs was.
horvever. one factor interconnecting the timing of the failures. The timing gave us
no other options than to enact immediate repairs with known vendors (Andrervs
Well Drilling, Pump-Tech, Rendezvous Engineering. Teton Water lnc.) rvho had
sen'iced our system since the time of their original installations.

REQUEST NO. 4: Please provide any design information concerning the selection and
sizing of the horsepower requirements for both the originel pumping units in
Wcll Nos. I and 2 (i.e. flow rate, discharge pressure, pumping water depth,
etc.).
Each of the well pumps was selected using available drawdoun information
(developed during the drilling of the wells) and a WateCAD computer model of
the entire distribution system for Teton Springs. In bbth cases, the quantity of flow
uas determined by the expected yield of the well with eftbrts focused on
nraximizing production for the growing development. The pump discharge head
was determined by the I ) piping within the distribution system. 2) tank elevation
and 3) well pumping level. The piping and tank elevation were well established by
the need to provide minimum fire flows and desired system pressures as
determined by the elevation of the above ground storage tank. The pumping levels
nere however variable and changed with the rate of flow, length of pump
operation and time of the year. ln addition, rvater levels in Well No.2, because of
its very low specific capacity (output in gpm per foot of drawdown). are also
bclieved to be affected by annual precipitation trends. The following table
summarizes the main design criteria for the two wells both in the original design
and for the recent 201I pump installation.

REQUEST NO. 5: Please provide any information concerning frrquency of pump cycling
in Well Nos. I and 2.
The two rvells operate with a radio telemetry system rvhich monitors the punrp
operation at both well sites and the nominal 500.000 gallon storage tank level
using a submersible transducer. This above ground welded steel tank has a
maximum inside water level of 23.5 I'eet (overllorv elevation) and an inside
diameter of 60.0 feet which equates to a water volume of about 21.130 gallons per
lbot (allowing for intemal supports and piping) and maximum total rvater volume
of 496.555 gallons . The wells are currently programmed conre at a level of aboil
20.5 feet (rneasured from the bottom; and turn off at a level of about 22.0 feet
Based upon these settings there is minimum of about gallons between the pump on
and olTlevels and minimum of about 31.695 gallons betrveen the start and stop
levels. The current maximum summer time daily use is in the range of about
230.000 gpd. The peak hour demand is estimated to be about 2.0 the maximum day
t'low or about or about 320 gpm. At this estimated peak hour l'lou,rate the
minimum cycle time (time to fill and time to empty) betrveen pump starts u,ould be
approximately 726 minutes or l2.l hours. Over a 24 hour period. this would result
in about 2 pump starts per day. During off season conditions. water use drops to
less than 50.000 gpd and estimated peak hour flows to about 70 gpnr rcsulting in a
cycle time between pump start and stop of about 562 minutes or 9.4 hours.
REQUEST NO.6: Please provide any information concerning changes in the pumping
conditions (i.e. pumping water levels, operating or discharge pressures, etc.)
for Well Nos. I and 2 from the time they rvere put into serrice until their
failure.
There were no known changes in the pumping or operating conditions for Well
No. l. This pump failure uas caused by the accelerated wear and tear caused by
the rvarm rvater conditions associated rvith the tine sediment generated by. the
fractured rock formation rvater source. Although there rvere no changes made to
well No. 2. the static water level appears to have dropped over lime as use of the
rvell has increased.
REQUEST NO.7: Please provide an explanation and documentation
(competitive bid documents, selection process, rvork contracts, etc.) shorving
that cost control efforts have been applied in repairing the pump/motor units
for Well Nos. I and 2.
Regarding bids and proposals, in our rural setting and given our lristory of
operations. we are aware of the resources within our area. Our chief operator,
Teton Water Inc.. is also a chief operator of multiple other systenrs in our area and

thus. their operation. maintenance and budgets. He considered the tbllowing in
advising Teton Springs Water & Sewer on actions relative to these repairs:
o Health and Safbtyo Our remote locationo The depth of the wells and requirement for large equipmento Available Resional contractors/suppliers and parts. Engineer availability and expeniseo Manager's notification and approvalo Water supply was tinite and being depleted at a time of high demando Response times of all contacted and their immediate availabilityo Cost disciplineo customer sen,ice
Both Teton Water Inc., and Rendezvous Engineering work with manl,entities in
our area and possess a sizeable pool of resources with which they regularly
communicate on dift'erent projects. If someone knows of a new contractor or
supplier to enter our area. it is readily known to them. They procure pricing, on a
regular basis, for materials and labor and assure that their clients get the best value
for their investment.
Andrews was chosen for a variety of reasons. They had drilled the original well
and knew of its issues and history. They had also provided the submersible pump
and motor and had performed past rehabilitation work and would be prepared to
respond to any unforeseen issues.
Further, Andrervs was the only company that responded in a timely manner and
their proposed time. rate schedule and availability was acceptable. ln fact, no
other vendor responded to Teton Water [nc.'s RFQ within the first 48 hours and
further responses were indicative of no interest or no staffor equipment
availability. No written requests rvere made as a result, nor was one made rvith
Andrews other than the work proposal.
Regarding pricing, while Andrews was securing material and supplies pricing.
Teton Water rvas doing the same throughout the Rocky Mountain Region (Salt
Lake City. Denver, Missoula, Casper, Billings, etc.) When Andrews prices were
quoted. Teton Water compared them with those they had procured and gave
management the results. In all cases. Andrews was within a 5% margin of the
pricing Teton Water had solicitcd and was lower on most due to their buying
power with their suppliers.

the appropriate parties and final decisions were made to ensure that rvater sen,ice
was not lost to the customers of the utility.
For the rccord, had we not pursued the sequence ofevents to enact the repairs
during the emergency operation period. it is highly probably that our water supply
rvould have been depleted and water service to the customers negativcly affected.
We rvere confident that. at peak capacity. uell #2 could not replenish the reservoir
nor could it keep up with expected continued demand. Had we not re-pulled #l
imrnediately after repairing#2, it is highly probable that rvithin l2-24 hours, the
rernaining water in the reservoir would be depleted and our rvater supply would be
severely curtailed to the customers. Every effort was enacted to minimize thrcats
to public health. safety and fire concems while also minimizing curent and future
costs and obtaining the best value for ongoing operation of the system. During this
emergency period. pursuing new vendors and/or a compelitive bid process would
have been disastrous.

decision for downsizing pump size.
o Flushing 27 hours (4 days @ approximately 7 hours per day). Due to the
required flushing of well #l (tape), the aquifer was rather "stirred up". 1'his well
historically produces sediments rvhen operating close to max capacity. The
flushing of the well exacerbated this. This remedy created an exceptionally large
antount of sedimentation. The system was then methodically flushed for 4 days
afler the aforementioned event. This was done zone by zone to assure watcr
quality and rninimize any sediment. taste and odor complaints. Much of this rvas
done after completion of all repairs. though some was done in close proximity of
well#1. when it was intermittently put back on Iine.
These reported hours occurred and accrued over a ten day stretch. While not listed
day specific, I was very conservative in my billing practice, as Teton Springs has
been client for many years. I was on site throughout this time slot for I2- l6 hours
per day. making the best possible use of resources, including my own. While
being on site and performing my duties for sonre 140 hours*, for l2 days. I billed
only 62. less than half my normal rate. I performed all the aforemenlioned duties
during the times I was not on the phone (management. engineers. contractors.
suppliers. customers, etc.) or assisting others in the completion of repairs. I also
went door to door and notified customers throughout the aflected areas. both
before and after repairs were made.
REQUEST NO. 9: In reference to Invoice No.8762 from Rendezvous Engineering dated

l'o ldaho Public Utilities Commission,
The Teton Watcr & Sewer Company has bcen considering the possibility of adding a 3'd well al Tclon Springs for quite some
time. With the summer behind us, we have begun discussions with the engineering firm that has assisted us since inception as
rvell as the geologist ofrccord to discuss neccssity, ideas and processes.
There are a number of reasons driving this discussion, including but not limited to:
- The total GPM's cunently being produced by the 2 cutrent wells combined and the shortfall from that provided by IDWR
lapproximately 340 GPM produced as compared lo 5m GPM allotted. Well #l is producing about 280 GPM and Well #2 about
60 GPM)
- The lack of redundancy created by the water production from well #2 in the evcnt of a failure of well # I (a primary reason for
trvo wells)
Thc redundancy issue came to light this summer when we had an elecrical panel failure of well #l in August. lt occurred in thc
carly morning hours on a Sunday morning. Forlunately, we had a generator rented and parked on-site (a pro-active move tbr
the Eclipse period in the event of a power grid failure). An electrician was called and anived at aboul t0:00 am, the generator
rvas "hot-wired" into the pump system and water production resumed shortly before noon, During this roughly lO-hour period,
the reserve water in the tank was significantly depleted.....this while Well #2 was pumping. Had we not had been lucky enough
to have a g,enerator on-hand, and had the electrician nol been available, we would have run out of water for the users before a
generator or electrician could have been obtained at some point on Monday. As a nole, we also attcmpted lo contact the pump
control folks that Sunday morning, they were out of town and nol available until some point Monday.
As you may know, a 3'd rvell was always considered during the planning and developmeil of our system. The record drawings
with ldaho DEQ indicate a future location in lhe event necessity was determined. To be clear, our goal is not to increase our
rvater righls, the goal is to determine the best method to obtain the water rights we have in a consistent, reliable and efficient
manner.
Al this lime, we have asked Rendezvous Engineering to begin communication rvith IDWR to leam more about the process
involved rvith regard to our water rights and a new well. Rendezvous will also begin preliminary discussions with Andrervs
Wcll Drilling (they drillcd all of the original wells and have done the repair work over time) to get their thoughs and
preliminary pricing data. The geologist, Bem Hinckley, has been asked to review the geology data for the arca.
Based on these initial discussions, we will move to the next steps including ldaho DEQ, IPUC and whatever other itcms
required.
We request the Commission to approve recovery of expenses in relation to this project. ln addition, we request this to be
processed through modifi cd procedure.

Rc: Applicalion to Commission to Authorize Debt for Purpose of Well Construction
Dear Commission Secretary:
Pleasc accept this letter as application to the Commission for the purpose of obtaining
Comnrission authoriuntion lo assume debt for the purposc of drilling and construction of a new
domestic well. The target production of the well is 500 GPM. This Application does not request
that additional water be permitted. the well would be a new point of diversion tbr the Company
to obtain the water alrcady permitted by ldaho Dcpartment of Water Rcsourccs.
It is our understanding that Commission Authorization to assume debt must first be obtained
hefore debt can be secured from a lending institution for construction projects such as the type
we are planning.
Circn the time-sensitive nature of this Application, we rcquest that this request be processed
through Modificd Procedure.
Generel Descriotion of Utilitv
Teton Water and Sewer Company ('the Company") provides domestic waler service to a
population of approximately 924 pensons in Teton County, Idaho, near thc City of Victor, ldaho.
Descrintion of the Securitv ("Loan")
Although the amount of the Loan is not known al this time due to a variety of fhctors. including
contingcncy. it is estimated at $450,000 based on thc cost estimates we have received to date as
shown belou,. Wc would expect the interest rate to be market commercial rates of 7-8% rvith a
loan tcrm of 5 years based on discussions with our bank. We would like to have the loan secured
hy April l, 2020 to allow for commencement of drilling of the well in April or May of 2020. All
pcrmits are in place with IDWR and DEQ at this time provided the drilling site does not change.
The loan would be secured by the Assets of the Company

flows. nor do we know that the curent and approved location (from Idaho DEQ) is a
location that will produce targeted flows. Without this knowledge. estimations of
cost are the only method available to the Company at this time.
2) It is unknown as to what loan amount lending institutions will approve for a project of
this type for our Company. Also, loan terms will not be known until we have time to
visit with the lending institutions and submit formal loan applications.
Purnose ofthc Loen
1'he Loan will be used for the planning, cnginccring, permitting, drilling, construction and all
associated expenses and fees of a 3'd Well to provide domestic water service to the customers of
thc Company.
In bricf, this Well is requircd to meet the cunent and future needs of the Company's domcstic
rvater obligations as well as provide for water source redundancy which does not currently exist
For more detailed information as to the necessity of this Wcll please reference Case No's. TTS-
W-17-01 and TTS-W-19-01 and associated documentation and correspondence with the
Commission on these cascs.
Purnose of the Well and Timins
As mentioned. tbr detail as to lhe necessity of the Well, please refercncc Casc No's TIS-W-|7-
0 I as well as TTS-W- | 9-01 . Given the events of the past ferv years, and given the numerous
pcriods of timc last summer rvhcrc water demand exceeded production capabilities. we believe it
is critical to have the new Well constructed and on-line for the 2020 pcak dcmand season.
'lhe Company requests approval from the Commission to obtain up to $450,000 in debt, securcd
by the Company assets, for the purpose of planning engineering, permitting, construction and all
associated expenses and fees of a 3'd Well to provide for domestic water servicc by the Company
to its customers.
