On December 9, 1983, Hayden Pines Water Company applied
to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission for authority to acquire

The Application asserts that L. T. V., the parent of
Howard Waterworks, Inc., wishes to sell the water utili ty
Hayden Pines.The proposed purchase price is the net book value
of Howard t s assets as determined for ratemaking purposes which
both parties allege is $69,587 as of December 1, 1983.Hayden
Pines requests that the Commission approve this amount as an
authorized addition to that Company t s rate base.
Hayden Pines proposes to continue existing customer and
commodity charges for all Howard Waterworks t customers but
apply Hayden Pines t own regulations to govern relations between
the utili ty and its new customers.In particular, the cus tomers
of Howard Waterworks presently pay their bills quarterly and
Hayden Pines proposes to bill these customers on a monthly basis
in the future.Finally, Hayden Pines proposes to install meters
for Howard Waterworks t customers as soon as possible.
ORDER NO. 18550
Hayden Pines alleges that it is capable of serving
Howard Waterworks and that it is in the public interest that the
entire area be served by a centralized system.
The Commission has recently been apprised that Hayden
Pines- -notwi thstanding its request that the Commission If authorize
the acquisi tion by Hayden Pines of Howard Waterworks , Inc. If - -has
in fact , already completed the acquisi tion.The remaining maj
items in the Application concern ratemaking treatment and rate
impact of the acquisi tion, which matters are not properly before
the Commission at this time.
The Commission is not inclined to engage in a nulli ty.
The Application is therefore dismissed.Hayden Pines may use its
own regulations to govern relations with Howard Waterworks customers.
It may not increase rates to Howard Waterworks customers but may bill
those customers monthly.It may also proceed to meter those
customers if it so desires but may not bill the customers for the
meter installations.All ratemaking implications of this transac-
tion will be reserved for treatment during Hayden Pines t next
rate case.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Application of Hayden
