UWI-06-4 (United Water) APPLICATION FOR SERVICE AREA EXPANSION On April 26, 2006 , United Water Idaho Inc. (United Water; Company) filed an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) for authority to amend and revise its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity No. 143 , as amended. Reference Idaho Code 9 61-526; IDAPA 31.01.01.112. United Water seeks to add an area known as the Trailhead Community to its certificated service territory.
