Dear Commissioners:
As requested, I am enclosing four sets of the customer notice that was mailed to all
Algoma Water customers on August 10 2007, and the Public Notice that appeared in theBonner County Daily Bee on August 16, 2007. An Affidavit of Publication is also
enclosed. I only received this copy today, thus the delay in getting this information back
to you.
Yours truly,

CUSTOMER NOTICE
August 9, 2007
To Customers of Algoma Water:
An application has been filed with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) for
approval of a rate increase of 70% for residential and 42% for commercial water use
effective November 1 2008. We are requesting that the fee for residential water use be
increased from $17.59 per month to $30 and commercial use from $28.15 per month to$40 per month. There has not been a rate increase for many years. Over the past twoyears major repairs have been made to the water lines costing thousands of dollars. We
fmd it necessary to increase the fees to maintain the quality of the system.
This application is a proposal, subject to public review and a Commission decision. A
copy of the application is available for review at the office of the Commission or by
appointment only at the office of Algoma Water Company by calling [phone].
