It is our understanding that Intermountain Gas has partitioned the
State of Idaho for 32010 increase in our gas bill to heat our
homes.
Homeowners are experiencing a big deficit in our household
accounts. It is to the benefit of all of us to help hold increases to
the minimum. Schoolteachers are taking cuts, Micron employees
are being laid off or taking cuts. The majority of business we work
with are seeing a big decline. Weare seeing increased expenses in
all areas of our economy. We have just had a sales tax increase.
Now is not the time to increase the bill on our heating expenses.
Sincerely,
Jfl /', V- /fJ lJil.

This increase is going to J;1appen to all of us if we do not respond to
the P.C. (Idaho Public Utilities Commission) no later then June
2003. We have an opportunity to stop this increase if we all act
now bye-mail or sending letters such as this.

Intermountain Gas indicates that they are requesting the rateincrease due to a lack of supply which is leading to higher prices. However , the IGIResources Weekly Energy Update dated June 9 - 13 , 2003 , indicates that there were somerecent inventory surprises and NYMEX July contracts fell 12.The US gas rig countfinished the week up at 910 , the highest since October of 2001.Surely this indicates that Intermountain Gas has under-estimated the supply of natural gasand will not need (average) increase.
I express concern as a single mother wi th two children. I work full-time in a well-paying
position , but still struggle to make ends meet. While an increase of $18 per month does
not seem like much , it is for those of us wi th one income.
Please turn down the increase proposed by Intermountain Gas , especially gi ven the new
information that has come to light wi th regard to inventories of natural gas.
Thank you
