CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO.1 0: Will all portions of the Columbia Water Treatment Plant be operational by March 2005? If not, which portions will not be operational? RESPONSE NO.1 0: The current construction schedule anticipates the Plant will be fully operational by the end of March 2005. During the month of March 2005 the Plant will begin to produce water that will be delivered to customers while all the different systems undergo operational testing. By the end of the month of March we anticipate the Plant will be capable of producing 6 MGD continuously ascustomer demand requires. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 11: Are there portions of the CWTP that have been oversized to accommodate future expansion? What is the current capacity of the plant in MGD? How much can the plant be expanded? RESPONSE NO. 11: The CWTP and all of its components have been properly sized to add ress current and projected system demands at the lowest cost. The current capacity of the CWTP treatment process is 6 MGD and is anticipated to be modularly expanded as demand grows. The ultimate capacity will depend on factors such as treatment filter material , footprint changes , proven operational techniques and regulation. Ultimate plant capacity is expected to be in the range of 20 MGD which will require additional process, treatment equipment and facility expansion. Many processes or portions of the facility are necessary regardless of plant capacity. Site and space planning has been considered in order to expand when necessary. Source of supply options are limited and especially under these circumstances it is mandatory to consider anticipated growth in system demand. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 12: Will the CWTP initially have the capability for pretreatment and ultraviolet disinfection? If not, are there plans to add these treatment processes in the future? What would cause these processes to be necessary in the future? RESPONSE NO. 12: Pretreatment and ultraviolet disinfection have not been provided initially. Pretreatment could become necessary if sustained algae activity or color associated with iron develops in the raw water. There have been seasonal episodes both at Marden and Micron but did they not last long enough to seriously affect production. United Water did perform pilot work using a dissolved air floatation (DAF) pretreatment process to confirm how this process could work if ever needed. The existing piping, floor plan and site can efficiently accommodate this addition if ever needed. Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection following the membrane filtration is planned only in the event cryptosporidium or spores become a problem in the raw water. The positive barrier of membrane fibers as opposed to granular media greatly minimize this potential. It was prudent however to keep this option available as an efficient upgrade if raw water conditions change or regulatory agencies set new standards. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC.

Our design/build contract will be amended to reflect the negotiated Guaranteed Maximum Price, revised language for early completion/liquidated damages and staff labor rates. I anticipate the contract amendment to be in place within the next two weeks. The intent of this Notice-to-Proceed is to allow CDM to secure subcontractors and suppliers as quickly as possible to mitigate material price escalations projected in the near term future.

RESPONSE NO. 16: The contract has no provision for a monetary incentive to COM if the project should be completed at less than the GMP. 1000/0 of all savings below the GMP are to the benefit of United Water. The contract (modified in amendment number 1) does have provisions for liquidated damages of $5 000/day or early completion bonus of $3,500/day tied to June 1 2005. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC.

CASE UWI-W-O4-04 FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Ahead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 18: Please reconcile the difference between the guaranteed maximum price of $16,844 498 as stated on page 20, line 3 and the amount of $18 201 714 shown on Exhibit 8, page 1. RESPONSE NO. 18: The $16 844 498 is the budgeted guaranteed maximum price for the project as proposed by United Water s contractor CDM. The $18 201 714 is the projected total cost at time of completion and includes items not associated with CDM. The majority of these other items include: Site piping installed by Owyhee Construction Construction staking and grade control Construction testing and quality control Owner supplied equipment (i.e. security system) Offsite utility charges for power and gas Company labor for inspection and project management Company overheads . AFUDC UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 19: When will the final actual costs of the CWTP be known? How is UWI proposing to establish rates in this case if the actual costs of the CWTP are not known until after an order is issued? What if the final actual cost is less than the guaranteed maximum price? RESPONSE NO. 19: The Company is assuming that for the purpose of this response "final actual costs" means those costs that have been reviewed, approved , paid and booked by the Company to the appropriate plant account. I n March 2005 , when the CWTP goes into service, at least 900/0 of the costs associated with the plant will be final actual costs. However, a relatively small amount of cost will not be known to the exact dollar for several months after the plant is put in service. These costs will, however be sufficiently definite to be known and measurable even though they will not be "final actual" costs. Assuming CWTP goes into service in March 2005 , the final AFUDC allocation will occur in April 2005. Some contractor billings will continue to be processed through May, perhaps June. Incidental contractor and company charges might continue for several months thereafter as final touches are put on the plant. All of these anticipated costs will be included in the Company s updated estimate of cost to complete and will be provided in rebuttal testimony and again immediately prior to hearings in this case. The Company is proposing to establish rates based on a combination of actual cost incurred to a reasonable date (April 2005), plus precise estimates of additional committed cost to be incurred through May 2005. Most of the investment in CWTP is contained in the contract between CDM and United Water, which is subject to a Gross Maximum Price (GMP) limit. As CDM nears completion of the plant, their estimate of remaining spend will become more precise, and by the time of hearings in this case United Water will be able to forecast final plant cost with a high level of certainty. The Company is confident that actual costs incurred plus estimated charges through May 2005 will produce an investment amount very close to , but not to exceed , the final actual cost. By that time, if CDM is forecasting a price less than the GMP , the lower cost will be reflected in the May 2005 known and measurable number. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC.

CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 21 Reference Exhibit 11. What factors cause cost differences between the plants listed? What factors cause the CWTP unit costs to be so much higher than the average? Are the costs shown only for CDM projects? RESPONSE NO. 21 : The main differences involve the breadth of the project scope. Some projects involve addition of membrane filtration to an existing plant. In these cases, costs are relatively low, since significant costs for storage reservoirs , large-diameter site piping, solids-handling facilities, chemical storage and fee, and operations/administrative space have been incurred previously. Other factors include membrane type (pressure membranes versus immersed), relative raw water quality, local labor and material cost conditions , and treated water pumping requirements. The Columbia WTP is a completely new plant, requiring all the facilities that may pre-exist at some plants , as well as needing treated water pumping. Consequently, it is to be expected that the CWTP would tend to cost more than the average of all types of projects. 11 of the 20 plants listed in the table are CDM projects. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 22: Reference Exhibit 12. Why are so few conventional plants listed? RESPONSE NO. 22: Fewer conventional plants within the comparable capacity range were constructed during the past decade , and so fewer examples exist. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 23: Reference p. 23, lines 11. Please reconcile the purchased raw water cost with Healy Exhibit 3 , Schedule 1 , p. 9. RESPONSE NO. 23: I refer in my direct testimony to CWTP annual purchased water expense of $78 000 (page 23, line 11). Mr. Healy refers to purchased water expense in his direct testimony (page13, lines 1 through 7) as increasing by $87 528 from the test year level. He also indicates the driver of this increase is the need for 3 000 acre-feet of additional water to supply CWTP at $26 per acre foot. This equates when multiplied out, to $78 000. Please refer to Mr. Healy s workpapers for operating expense adjustments. Supporting the adjustment to purchased water expense, he includes two workpapers. Both workpapers support the pro-forma level of purchased water expense included in the case, $195 316 (please reference Mr. Healy s Exhibit No., Summary, line 9). The first workpaper indicates that the CWTP need for raw water will be met by contracts with Fairview Lateral Ditch ($5,500), South Boise Water ($20 400) and Black Canyon Irrigation ($52 500), a total of $78,400. The exact amount of purchased water expense for CWTP operation included in this case is $78 400 This is an educated estimate I supplied to Mr. Healy and will be supported by actual contracts. The second workpaper breaks the raw water purchases down by category (natural flow shares in canal companys, contracts and leases) in the format Mr. Healy used on his Exhibit 3 , Schedule 1 , Page 9 , lines 3 through 6.

Please elaborate on how the operation of other wells will be affected by the operation of the CWTP. For example , how will redundancy or backup capacity be affected by the CWTP and what costs are affected by redundancy and backup capacity? Please explain the workpaper provided for Healy Exhibit 3 , Schedule 1 , p. 16 (Adjustment No. 16) showing how the reduction in operating expenses for these wells of $139 580 was computed. RESPONSE NO. 25: The reduction in operating expenses was computed as follows: First, wells were selected that met certain criteria: 1.) Adjacent to the Columbia water treatment plant; 2.) Located in an area served directly by the plant; 3. Exceeding the proposed 2006 arsenic MCL and in the vicinity of the plant. Wells that meet this criteria were used in this calculation as the most likely candidates for changes in operational cost. The variable cost for production from these facilities was calculated using average power and chemical cost per million gallons during the period from June 2003 through May 2004. These power and chemical costs are resident in a database that is used for tracking monthly power and chemical use per MG (by kWh and $$) for every well in the United Water system. Using historical production quantities (in MG) as a basis, the monthly reduction in production that could be expected as a result of the Columbia WTP operation were plotted by month for a typical year. The expected reduction in production from wells that meet the criteria was set to match the monthly production from the Columbia WTP. The variable cost per MG for each well facility impacted was multiplied by the expected reduction in production volume. The expected reduction in production levels impacts wells with levels of arsenic exceeding the MCL preferentially. After January 1 , 2006 these wells will only be available in June, July, and August, and production from these wells during the other nine months of the year will be lost. The balance of the reduced production was distributed among the other wells meeting the criteria , leaving one production facility in operation at all times on the Ten Mile Ridge well field to keep levels constant in the Columbia reservoir, and assuming that wells will be operated as needed to meet seasonal demands. Other variable cost reductions (such as labor and vehicles) are insignificant. Routine facility maintenance and operational activities will continue at these facilities, with a small reduction in frequency. These figures were added up for a typical year and the total was $139 580. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC. CASE UWI-04- FIRST PRODUCTION REQUEST OF THE COMMISSION STAFF Preparer/Sponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead Telephone: (208) 362-7345 Title: Managing Engineer REQUEST NO. 27: Please explain why UWI is drilling a new well (Maple Hills #2) at the same site as Maple Hills #1 when Maple Hills #1 requires substantial treatment according to your testimony on page 25, lines 8-21. What assurance is there that the new well won t have water quality just as poor as Maple Hills #1 and also require treatment? Were any other sites considered? RESPONSE NO. 27: United Water drilled a test well in December 2001 at the Maple Hill well site to determine the potential of increasing the water supply capacity. The deeper aquifer zones had previously been investigated, but the shallower zone (Maple Hill #2) had not previously been tested for quality or production potential. The Maple Hill #1 well draws water from a 100-foot thick sand layer located between 820 and 920 feet below ground surface. Maple Hill #2 well draws from a 45-foot thick aquifer located between 265 and 310 feet below ground surface. The aquifer units supplying each well have distinct hydraulic properties and the water obtained from the respective sand layers have different water qualities. Water quality testing of Maple Hill #2 indicated significantly improved characteristics over those of Maple Hill #1 , indicating treatment would not be necessary. The decision to drill on the same site as Maple Hill #1 well was based on the availability of sufficient property for a well site and upon customer demands in the general vicinity. Adding a second well at an existing site reduces the costs in land , power line improvements , discharge mains , telemetry equipment landscaping and other costs that are unique to each site.

Is this purchase of water rights for future use or would these rights be used immediately? Are any of these water rights necessary for the CWTP , or would they be used somewhere else? RESPONSE NO. 28: Surface water right negotiations and associated purchases are targeted for immediate needs at Marden and Columbia water treatment plants. The opportunities are varied in amount or conditions and are intended to include natural flow rights, shares in canal companies and storage water. Also included are the necessary efforts to preserve and protect United Water s existing water right portfolio. UNITED WATER IDAHO INC.
