NEWS RELEASE: Commission schedules virtual public workshop on proposed Picabo Water
System rate increase

BOISE (Aug. 3, 2021) – The Idaho Public Utilities Commission will host a virtual public
workshop on Aug. 11 to share information on an application from Picabo Water System to
increase its rates for residential and commercial water customers.

Picabo Water is asking for approval to increase its winter residential flat rate from $22 per month
to $33 per month, its summer flat rate from $41 per month to $62 per month and its commercial
flat rate from $37 per month to $55 per month. The company proposed a May 1, 2021, effective
date for the new rates. The commission suspended that date.

The virtual workshop is on Wednesday, Aug. 11, at 7:00 p.m. (MDT). Staff with the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission will provide an overview of Picabo’s application and an analysis
regarding how the proposed rate increases would affect customers. Staff also will be available to
answer questions.
