REQUEST NO. 235:
Please provide an update on the status of the Stee1head tan painting, and include a copy of all
invoices received for this proj ect. As. of the Company's response to Production Request No. 168
fied December 10, 2009, noìi:voices hadbeeh received associated with this project with a
contracted completion date of December 31,2009.
RESPONSE NO. 235:
The Steelhead tan painting project has been delayed somewhat due to more severe winter-like
weather conditiöns over the past several months, coupled with the contrctor having fallen
behind schedule in completing other previously schedu1èdjobs.
The. Steelhead tan painting scope of work originally included sandblasting and painting the
interior ceiling only, and power washing and painting the entire exterior. This Was based on the
early 2009 diver inspection. In anticipation of staring the work in mid-December, United Wâter
Idaho crews drained aid entered the tan to inspect it. Upon inspection of the interior, it has
now been determined that the entire interior of the tan needs to be sandblasted and repainted,
rather than just the ceiling as had originally been anticipated. Attached is the tan inspector's
new report on the tan interior and the contractor's email adjusting the bid in the amount of an
additional $157,000 resulting in a.total cost of $289,980 for performing the conipletejob (the
original $132,980 plus $157,000).
The painting contractor's crew commenced work on the tan the first week of Januar 2010.
The Company anticipates a 6 - 8 week timefraie to complete the work.

As per your request, here is the breakdown for the Steel head Reservoir:
Sq Ft Walls - 14,682
Sq Ft Floör - 10.980
Sq' Ft Total- 25,6a2
Currently paint is blistering over all surfaces. This usually indicates that the paint is at the end of its
cycle. Dry mils of paint range from 4-8 mils and heavier in some locations. We would sandblast
existing coating off to a near white blast and then recoatas per specs. With the price of materials
increasing along with insurance, the cost of these projects continue to rise. We are plannin.g to start
this project around the week of January 4th. We would normally start the floor first so the decisionneeds to be made as soon as possible as materiälsneed to beordered
Our price to blast and paint interior walls and floor would be $157,000 as per specs. Please let me
know as soon as you can for scheduling purposes.
Have a great holiday..

Dear Bob,
Subject: Steelhead Way tan
Ths lettr is to confrm our dicussion in whch you reuested tht I conduct a field review
and provide an evaluaton and recommendations on whether to recoat the floor and wals of
the existing ta at 429 Steel Headway. It is our underîn that the exstg ta vinyl
coati sym is approxiately 25 yea old. It wa our widerstdig that the tan was
aleady scheduled to be coated with an epoXy system on the ínterior roof ara. The extet
ta coati roof and walls were also scheduled to be recoated dur the same tie period.
There was a question whether the ínteral wal and floor should also be reoated at th sae
time.
The field inspecon was conducted on December 23rd, 2009 an consisted of a vi and
physica evaluation of the existig vil coati on the subject ta inter floor and bottom
wal plate. The physical and visua inspection wa limted to the floor and bottom wal plate
as no eqpment wa avaiable for assessing the tan roof or side walls above grund leveL.
The ta wall ha a steel wal setion removed to alow equìpment to be inerted for the
scheduled recoatig of the overhead roof sections.
Inspectin Summary
Th majority of corrosion was observed on the roof section and overhead be as
anticipate (photo No. A, Photo Sheet No.1). Although there were a lot of small bubbles on
th exitig vinyl coating on the walls and floor, there wa a mium amount of active
corosion observed (photo No. B, Photo Sheet No.1). The majority of the bubbles appeed
to be dr and when removed by scrappig, no corrosion activity wa observed (Le. bright
shy steel surac) as shown on Photo No. C, Photo Sheet No.2). The genera condtion of
the steel surce under the bubble when the existig vinyl coatig was removed is shown on

Photo No. D, Photo Sheet No.2. A sml pecentae of the ta floor (less th 1%),
however did display actíve corrosion eìther at areas where the coati was missin or under
bliste in the existing vinyl coatig (photo No. E, Photo Sheet No.3) Also at the roof
colum support there was some corroson deposits (rut nodules) at the edge of th supprt
foot brace frm undemeath of the foot brae (Photo No. F, Photo Sheet No.3. The support
colum foot brce, by design is allowed to move and flex. Thi maes the area under the
colum footer very dicutt, if not impossible, to coat and completely se.
Althoug ovet the exitig floor and wall coatgs look to be in good conditiOn with
minimum corrosion occurg, th wal and floor vinyl coatigs should be considèr to be at
or nea the end of thi;Ír usefu lie. Typicay based on my 30 yea plus expeence in the
corrsion field and from discussion with varous coating expert, one can assue tht a
tyical viyl coatig lie wi be arund 20 to 25 yes depedig on the quaity of the water
with prope sur prepartion and application. It should al be noted tht drng a ta
and lettg a vinyl coati dr out wi put it under greaer stess th if it reiaiedin a
submerged condition. Stresses also ar imposed on existig coatig (parculady on the floor
ar) from the surace prepartion, eqpment movement and other work acvities associate
with recoatg the roof section. The existing vil coatig on the wals wi a1so suer some
daage from blasting at the tie-in location (band) at th roof wall inteace. Vinyl coatigs
wil ha up when blaed and are somewhat dicult to reeal tightly, as epxies do not stck
as well to old existg viyl coating syems.
Repair Options
There are severa coatig rehabiltation options avaiable for consdertion on what to do for
the presnt ta wall and floor suraces. These include the followig:
1. Cathodic Protection Option - Ths option would consist of instag a sm
impressed curen cathodic protetion (CP) tye system to protect the existing wal
and floor coatings. The cathodic protection system however would requie some
additiona1 nitenance to be peormed by United Water. Ths additiona
maitenance would include monthy retifier checks and an anua potentia1 surey
check of the CP syste. However, viyl coatgs do not have as good adesion to
steel as epoxy ty coatings. Vinyl coatigs a1so have greater delamtion prblem
from cathodic disbondment Cathodic disbondment resuts frm too high of curnt
levels at the steel coatig interface. Al coatigs have a resistace to th stess, some
beter th others. Therefore given the age of the existing viyl Coatig and the
susceptibilty of vinyl coati to CP disbondment, the CP option is not
recommended.
2. Do Nothg Now Option - Ths option would consist of doing nothg at the presnt
time and reatig the intemal was àld flòor at a later date. Whe th is the lea
expensive option at ths tie, it is not the least expensive tife cycle option. Ths is
File;Fieid Summary and Recmmendaions 12_29_09.doc
Mr. Bob Lawrence

becau the cost to recoat the wals and floor at a later date wi be more expensive
per squae foot th doing it at ths tie. Ths is beause the majority oftle costs
associated with coatg the wa and floors (such as dewaterig the tan
mobilon, sta, cutting an acess hatch in the wal, heatig, dehumcation,
and vention, etc.) are aleay included in the present roof project. It should be
anticipated tht recoatig of the wals and floor would be requied in tle nea fu
(thee (3) to five (5) years). Another factor tht should be considered in not doing anycoatig work at thi tie is th dàged area from the exig coatig work would
nee to be repaed. According to Tnemec, ths would require sucient scarcation
for the NSF 61 approved epoxy repai coati (potaox, et.) to adequately adher.
There will be some diculty in sucessfuly repaig the aged viyl coatig, in tht
the existg vinyl coating is somewhat britte and.c has to be taen dug the
repai coatg surace preparation to not daage or crack the aged vinyl coati. It
should also be anticipated th costs to reoat the wals and floor at a later date would
be more expensive per squae foot than doin a whole ta interior at the same tie.
3. Recat mterior Wals and Floor - Ths option would include conductig coatig of
the interior wa and floor at the same tie as th interor ta roof is being
complete. TIs option ha the advantae tha a major porton of the cost (for
dewaterig, mobilation, stagig, heat, dehumdification, ventilation, etc.) is already
included in the contr for the interor roof coatig. The cost per squae foot should
be substatialy less (mimum $2 to $3 or more) pe squae foot than tht of the
aleady contracted interior overhead roof coatig cost per foot. Ths option also ha
the advantae that the ta will not have to be taken out of service agai for a long
period of tie in the near futue (thee to five year) to coat the interior wal and
floor. Another advantage of ths option is that all of the interior coatig wi be the
same age and wil be without multiple repais.
Recommendttións
Given the age of the ta and the ty of inter coating (vinyl), it is pruden th United
Water consider recoating the ta's intern walls and floor at ths tie. We feel that ths is
the most cost effective method to contie to provide adequate corosion protection to the
internal ta walls and floor suraces. Sineethe Contrctor ha aleady mobili to the
project site and cut a secton out of the ta wall for accesst these costs are aleady included
in the Original project. The coating system would be the sae Tnemec Hydro Sysem as the
present overhe interior system (Specifcation Paragrph 2.2 Coating Syste for Interor of
Tan on Page 5). Tneinec recommends the use of their Hydr Sysem tor submerged
sections of the tan as long as the Hydro-Zinc is top coated. We tyically recommend that a
stpe coat be utild at al angles, edges, and welds. We would also recommend that the
outside of the suport colum feet be seaed with a NSF 61 approved caul (Sikex I or
equl). Th would help mininize corrosion acvity under th colum feet which canot be
coated.

REQUEST NO. 236:
Please provide an update on the status of the Hilcrest tan painting. The Company's response to
Production Request No. 168 filed December 10,2009, stated that the project is anticipated to
begin later in December 2009. Please provide documentation evidencing the beginnng and
completion dates for this project, and include a copy of all invoices received for this project.
RESPONSE NO. 236:
The Hilcrest tan painting project has been delayed due to the contractor's inability to perorm
the work. The Company was notified via telephone on Januar 5,2010 by the contractor that his
bid was inadequately low and he could not and would not now perform the work for the price he
bid. The Company informed the contractor that it intended to terinate the contract for non-
performance.
The tan painter curently working on the Steelhead Tan project (J&L Company) was
subsequently contacted and requested to provide a "discounted" bid to the Company for
perorming the work on the Hilcrest Tan at the same time as work proceeds on the Steelhead
Tan. J&L has not yet provided the Company with a bid, but it is anticipated shortly. If the bidis acceptable, the Company intends to enter into a new contract with J&L Company for the

PreparerlSponsoring Witness: Gregory P. Wyatt
REQUEST NO. 241:
In reference to the Company's response to Production Request No. 119, please provide all
supporting documentation regarding the Company's $15,000 estimate of customer notice, cour
reporting and miscellaneous costs.
RESPONSE NO. 241:
The $15,000 estimate of "customer notice, cour reporting and miscellaneous costs" represents
an estimate by the Company intended to allow a provision for a host of costs that are likely to
occur in a general rate case but are not certain at the time of case preparation. In the Company's
2006 general rate case (UWI- W -06-02) $2,592 was paid to Adecco for temporar services
rendered related to the rate case preparation; $5,851 was paid to Ano for required customer
notices and $2,137 of travel expense was incured for a Company employee to accompany IPUC
Staff auditors to United Water Idaho's Corporate Office in Hargton Park, New Jersey. In Case
UWI-W-04-04, $1,845 was paid to Ano for customer notices, the Company paid $5,073 to
Hedrck Cour Reporting for services rendered and $5,379 was paid to MJ Solutions for hearing
preparation. Also in the 2004 case, a total of $11,942 was paid to Idaho Rivers United and the
Community Action Parnership in intervention expenses. It is to cover these kinds of likely rate
case costs that the $15,000 estimate was included in the Compaiy's fiing.

RESPONSE NO. 243:
This project was created to capture project costs, allocated to United Water Idaho, for 12 unique
2008 IT (Information Technology) projects and one 2007 project that were initiated by United
Water Corporate IT. A C:EA including allocation costs from all 13 projects was not created. The

PreparerlSponsoring Witness: Scott Rhead
REQUEST NO. 244:
In reference to the Company's responses to Production Request Nos. 75 and 149, please provide
the CEA(s) for the GAC Filter at Swift 1 & 2 (C08BOO 1). Please include with your response:
a. a detailed description (both narative and numeric) of how the original and amended
budget/CEA amounts were denved,
b. the purose of the project,
c. a detailed description of why the project expenditure amount in Production Request
No. 75 exceeds the budget amount by approximately $500,000,
d. a detailed description and underlying spreadsheet of any expenditues that are an
allocation from Corprate or any other entity,
e. the difference between the budget amount and the CEA amount on Production
RequestNø. 149, and
f. any further explanatory information necessar to describe the project(s) and their
costs.
RESPONS:ENO~ 244:
A copyoftle CEA(C08B001)js attached as requested. A point of clarfication should be made
when comparng Production Request NO.75'and theCEA. The budget amountof$l,l ia,900
shown on PR No.' 75 was the Z008 portion only.' The total budget for the project at time of CEA
approval was $1,272,770. More detail is provided below as requested:
a. A spreadsheet is provided and. broken dowr into projeèt elements; which compare the
original budget of $1,271,770, approved CEA of $1,463,917 and final project
expenditues of $1 ,633,800.
b. The purpose ofthe project was to provide well head treatment for the removal of
PERCwhich is a volatile organic contamination (VOC) at Swift Well's #1 and #2 due
to groundwater contamination from unown sources. This well complex is avery
important par. of the overall source of supply for the West Main Service Level and
could not be abandoned. In 2007 Idaho Deparent of Environmental Quality (IDEQ)
had required that well #2 be taken off-line due to an exceedence of the Maximum
Contaminant Level (MCL) of 5.0 ppb.
c. The spreadsheet provided shows specific detail of which project elements exceeded
the budget. A point of clarfication should be made when comparng budget to actual.
As pointed out above, the budget was $1,272,770 with no allowance for AFUDC. The
final project was $1,633,800 including AFUDC in the amount of$27,695. For
comparson purposes this. amount should be removed from the total thus resulting in
an actual cost that exceeded the.budgetby $334,335 not the $500,000 as referenced.
This $334,335 increase is prirnarlyrelated to four specific categories that occured
after the budget was develop.ed.
1. City conditional use and zoning approval as a result of obtaining approval from
the Lake Harbor Neighborhood Association (LHNA). There was a very strong
negative reaction to the project as first conceived and presented to LNH. They
were very opposed to the initial concept of exposed tan and associated
screening. It became obvious that the City would have a hard time approving the
project with this much organized opposition. In the end, the facility was
completely redesigned and expanded to enclose all of the process equipment as
well asthe addition of architectural shapes/landscape featues to better blend into
the suroundings and nearby residences.
2. Over,.exca'lation requirements. Once excávationbegan it became apparent that the
existing site had been previously used as a slash/debris waste site durng the
1950's when a gravelextraction comptuY was in operation. Old rotting logs,wood and site waste were encountered;Approximate1y ten feet ofuisuitab1e
material had to be removed and replaced with select granular filL. An entire
temporar dewaterIngsystem with sediment filtering treatment prOvisions was
required due to the proximity to Lake Haror and the Boise River.
3. Mechanicalpiping changes. As a result of the requirement to enclose the tans it
was necessarytoreconfi~I'e all ofthel'ipingbetween the vessels and between
the vessels and road; This redesign addedfittingsl length and required all of
piping to now be bured vs. exposed as originally planed.
4. Temporar piping and power service to Swift #1. Because of the delay caused by
dewatering and sub-excavation, it became necessar to constrct temporar piping
and power service to Well #1 in order to have it available to meet demand in July.
d. The:re are no Cdrporate.allqcations related to this project other than normal
constrction overheads.
e. Please refer to the attached spreadsheet for comparsons of budget and CEA.
f. Included above.

Installation ofGAC treatment system for the removal of volatile organc contaants (PERC) at Swift Wells 1 &2. The
project wil also entail the demolition of the existig well house and the constrction of a new building which will house the
well, controls, dischage piping and treatment systems.
Groundwater contaation in ths area has been drawn from unown sources to the wells over the past 30 years of
production and has increased to a level that exceeds the MCL. The GAC treatment wil captue the VOCs and allow these
important sources of supply to remain in servce.

REQUEST NO. 245:
In reference to the Company's responses to Production Request Nos. 76 and 149, please provide
the CEA(s) for the Braemere Booster upgrade (C07C504). Please include with your respønse:
a. a detailed description (both narative and numeric) of how the original and amended
budget/CEAamounts were derived,
b. the purpose of the project,
c. a detailed description of why the projectexpenditure amount in Production Request
No. 76 exceeds the budg~t amount by approximately $400,000,
d. the difference between the budget anØlUt and the CEA amount onProduction
Requestljo. 149, and
e. any.fiher explanatory Information necessar to describe tnepr9ject(s)áIdtheircosts. .
RESPONSE NO. 245:
A copy of the CEA (C07C504) is attached as requested. A point of clarification should be made
when comparng Production Request No. 76 and the CEA/Thebudgetamount of $259,600
shown on PRNo. 76 Was the 2008 portion only. The total budget for the project at time of CEA
approya1. was $~50,600. More detail is provided below as requested:
a. A spreadsheet is provided and broken down into project elements, which compare
the original budget of $350,600, approved CEA of $432,173 and actual cost of
$640,572.
b. The purose of the project was to comply with regulation. The 2007 update to Idaho
Deparent of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) regulations require pumping stations
to provide redundancy. The facility must be capable of meeting maximum day
demand plus fire protection with the largest pumping unt out of service. The
existing facilty had one domestic pump and one fire pump and therefore there was
no redundancy for the fire pump.
c. The spreadsheet provided shows specific detail of which elements exceeded the
budget. A point of clarfication should be made when comparng budget to actual.
As pointed out above, the budget was $350,600 with no allowance for AFUDC. The
final project was $640,572 including AFC in the amountof$27,111. For
comparson purposes this amount should be removed from the total thus resulting in
an actual cost that exceeded the budget by $262,861 not the $400,000 as referenced.
This $262,861 increase is primarly related to two specific categories that. occured
after the budget was developed.
1. New.buildingvs.wingaddition to existing. The originalbudgetwasdeveloped
under the concept that the existing building could remain and only require adding
a wing. Once the design was more perfected' and initial DEQ meetings were
complete it becane apparent that this would be impossible. The new pump,
metering space requirements and associated electrical panels could not be added
and stil keep the existing facility operational 24 hour per day. In the end, the
best solution was to reconstrct a new building with all associated pumping and
electrical equipinenh
2. Decision to add å more effcient small domestic pump and paneL. There äre
apprpxiinately30customers served by this facility. Durng the nightthereisvery
1imit.edusagebut a pump is stil necessar for these smi¡ll flows. The best way to
meetthis requireinent was to instaUan additional small domestic pump and
associated varable frequency drve panelt.o allowthepunp to changesp~edas
needed. This capabilty was not apar of the originaLbudget or existing facilty.
d. Pleåse refer the. attached spreadsheet and additional explanation in item c. abóve.

Tfsproject is for the replacementof the Braemefe Boostet Station. The existigfacilty does not effcientlymeet peak
customer demád and does not provide redundacy in the event of a pump failure, as requed by the Idao Deparent of
Eiivironmenta Quaity.
The domestic pump does not have sufcient capacity to meet peak hour demd. The me pumpmtitrun perodcaly to
keep pace with demads. Ths results in frequentonloff cyclig of the pre pup asit's capacity is sigificantly in excess of
the customer demad.
The origil plan estited an expanion to the existing booster buildig. A buildig expanion would not, however, be
suffcient to house the layout of the new pumping equipment, along with matag serce to the 130 customers durg
the constrction. The addition of a new building represents the major porton of the increase in project cost.
