Respondent.
CASE NO. INT -07-
Complainant,
vs.
INTERMOUNTAIN GAS COMPANY ORDER NO. 30476
On April 16, 2007, the Lesebergs filed a formal complaint against Intermountain Gas
Company (Company) objecting to a corrected rebilling issued to them by the Company for
one-year period during which their meter was not working properly. The parties have indicated
that their dispute has been resolved. With this Order the Commission dismisses this case.
DISCUSSION
The Lesebergs were rebilled for a one-year period in the amount of $496.76 due to a
broken wriggler, which caused their meter to progressively slow over time. After informal
attempts to resolve the rebilling between the Lesebergs and the Company failed, the Lesebergs
filed a "formal" complaint with the Commission. The Commission issued a Summons to the
Company directing it to respond. The Company then filed a timely answer to the complaint.
On August 23 , 2007, Intermountain Gas notified the Commission that it had
contacted the Lesebergs and resolved the complaint. On September 18 2007, Staff sent a letter
to the Lesebergs asking how they wished to proceed with their formal complaint. On September
, 2007, the Lesebergs responded by letter that they did not wish to proceed with their case and
were withdrawing their complaint. The letter was also sent to the Company.
A party desiring to withdraw a pleading may do so by giving notice of such to the
Commission and all parties. Procedural Rule 68, IDAP A 31.01.01.068. Unless otherwise
ordered by the Commission, the notice is effective 14 days after filing." Id. We find the
Lesebergs' letter to be sufficient and proper notice to both the Commission and the Company of
the withdrawal of the complaint. This complaint case was initiated by the customer and has no
ORDER NO. 30476
intervening parties. Based on the statements of both the customer and the Company that the case
is resolved, we find that this matter should be dismissed and the case closed.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Case No. INT-07-, the complaint of Tessa
Leseberg on behalf of Ralph and Wanda Leseberg against Intermountain Gas Company, be
dismissed and closed.
THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order may petition for
