WATER SERVICE IN THE STATE OF IDAHO) APPLICATION
COMES NOW Bar Circle "s" Water Company Inc., ("Bar Circle "S",
"Applicant" or "Company") and hereby makes application to the Idaho Public
Utilities Commission (Commission) for an Order approving revisions to
Applicant's schedules of rates and charges for water service in the State of Idaho
to become effective with service provided on and after August 1,2009. Applicant
is requesting the Commission's authorization to increase the water rates it
charges its customers by approximately 119%. In addition, Applicant is
requesting changes in certain non-recurring charges.
Applicant requests that the Commission process this case under its rules
of modified procedure, without hearing.
GENERAL
Applicant is a public utilty water corporation within the meaning of the
Idaho Public Utility law, is duly organized and existing under the laws of the
Application
BCS- W -09-02
1
State of Idaho and is engaged in conducting a general water service business
on the Rathdrum Prairie approximately fifeen (15) miles northwest of Coeur
d'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho, having its principal offce and place of business
at 2953 N. Government Way, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. A copy of Applicant's
Articles of Incorporation together with all amendments to date is on file with the
Commission. Applicant's current Certificate of Convenience and Necessity is
Certificate No. 296. Currently the Company provides water service to
approximately 160 residential and commercial customers.
Applicant's current non-recurring rates and basic rates and charges for
commercial and residential customers were established by Commission Order
No. 22943 dated January 23,1990. On August 16, 2005, the Commission
authorized by Order No. 29844 implementation of a new tariff for commercial fire
protection service.
SUMMARY OF APPLICATION
Applicant is requesting an increase in its water rate schedules to increase
revenues by 119.45%. More than nineteen (19) years have elapsed since the
Company's current base rates were established. Escalating those rates to
produce the rates proposed in this application produces an annual growth rate of
only 4.2%.
The Company is proposing to increase its Metered Water Rates from
$15.00 for the first 7,500 gallons to $32.92 and the rate for additional
consumption from $0.95 per thousand gallons to $2.08 per thousand gallons.
The Company proposes to intrease its Commercial Fire Protection Rates from
$9.50 per month for fire hydrants to $20.85 and the monthly rate for building
sprinkler connections from $48.13 to $105.62.
The Company is also proposing changes to its Non-Recurring charges.
These charges are intended to cover the Company's costs only and do not
contribute to the Company's earnings. Applicant proposes to increase its new
Application

customer first time connection fee from a total of $750.00 to a basic meter
installation fee of $480.00 plus additional costs of $2,500.00 if a service line is
not in place from the Company's water mains to the customers propert line.
This charge pays the cost of excavation, tapping the water main, installng the
servite line to the propert line and installng a meter box and base. Additionally,
if the Company must use boring equipment to install a service line under a road
where excavation is not possible, the Company proposes to charge the actual
cost of materials and labor to complete the installation. Applicant further
proposes to increase its existing customer reconnecton charge from $10.00 to
$20.00 during normal business hours and an additional $20.00 for service calls
outside of normal business hours. Applicant also requests a new returned check
charge of $20.00 for reprocessing customer checks that have been returned by
the bank for any reason.
GENERAL RATE CASE.
Enclosed with this Application are Exhibit Numbers 1 through 8 in support
of Applicants request to increase its basic rates and charges for water service.
Applicant is proposing the use of its fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 as the
test year in this case.
Rate Base
Exhibit NO.1 presents Applicant's calculation of "Rate Base" for use in this case.
Column (A) of this exhibit is taken directly from Applicant's financial records for
the test year. Columns (B) through (F) are adjustment to the test year for
corrections and adjustments for known changes. Column (G) presents the detail
of Applicants "Rate Base of $287,219.00 shown on line 6.
Column (B) of Exhibit No. 1 corrects the Company's records for a pump
that was replaced during the test year and recorded as expense. The Pump
replacement cost nearly $32,000.00. Insurance paid the majority of the
replacement cost. The $5,000.00 shown here on line 1 is Applicant's insurance
Application
BCS- W -09-02

deductable amount. This adjustment properly moves the Company's cost from
expense accounts to the plant in service account where it is included in rate
base. The adjustment on Exhibit No.2, Column (C) corrects the Company's
income statement for this item. The difference between the amounts on the two
exhibits is due to expenses recorded in the prior year. On line 3 of Exhibit No. 1
the effect on accumulated depreciation is recognized.
Columns (C), (0) and (E) of Exhibit No. 1 are proforma adjustments for
new equipment that wil be installed on the Company's system during the
summer of 2009. These items were discussed in Applicant's Case No. BCS-W-
09-01 requesting authorization to borrow funds. The 6" flow meter in Column (C)
and abandonment of the 6" well shown in Column (0) are expenditures over
which the Company has no control. These costs are required to be in
compliance with directives of the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality and
the Idaho Departent of Water Resources. The adjustment in Column (E) adds
$44,985.00 to the Company's plant in service accounts for electronic meter
reading equipment to be added in 2009. Applicant does not currently read
meters for six months of the year when meters are not accessible due to snow
accumulation. In May of each year the Company must calculate each customets
bil for the previous six (6) months to determine whether or not the customer used
more than the monthly allowance included in the minimum bils for the period.
When overage is determined to have occurred, the customer is biled the full
amount of the overage for the previous six months. Ofen this process leads to
the discovery of significant leaks on the water system either on the company's
side of the meter or the customets side. This equipmentwil improve accuracy
and effciency of meter reading, enable meter reading during winter months,
enable the Company to identify leaks and complete repairs in a timely manner
during winter months and more accurately bil c~stomers for their actual use in
winter months. Exhibit No. 5 is a costlnefit calculation in support of this very
useful plant addition. These plant improvements are non-revenue producing
additions to Applicant's plant in service accounts.
Application
BCS- W -09-02

The meter reading equipment cost I benefit calculations shown on Exhibit
NO.5 demonstrate that customers wil initially realize a reduction in rates albeit
rather small. The customer benefits wil continue for a period of five (5) years as
shown in Columns (N) and (0). Assuming customer rates are adjusted annually,
in years six (6) thròugh Eleven (11) customers wil see an increase in rates. In
the twelfth (12th) through twentieth (20th) years customers would return to a
position of benefit. Over the lifetime of the equipment, customers would realize a
net accumulated benefit as shown in year 20 in Column (M). This cost I benefit
utilzes the estimated savings of $3,838.00 the IPUC Staff (Staff developed in
discussion with the Company and included in its comments in case BCS-W-09-
01. The calculations further assume annual customer growth of three percent
(3%) and inflation at the rate of three percent (3%) as reflected in Columns (B),
(C) and (0). The customer growth rate is conservative. The Commission
approved by Order No. 30731 (Case No. BCS-W-08-01) an expansion of
Applicants service area to serve a new 47 lot subdivision. The assumed 3%
growth rate would require ten (10) years to reach the customer level approved by
that order.
In May of 2009 the Company's primary well was struck by lightning. The
strike destroyed the Company's 60 HP pump and required the Company to
appeal to customers to curtail unnecessary water consumption. Customers
cooperated and service was maintained albeit at a minimum level until a new
pump could be acquired and installed in the welL. If this outage had occurred
during the summer months the Company would not have been able to maintain
adequate service even with the cooperation of customers. A claim has been filed
with the Company's insurance company for the cost of the replacement and
repairs. The adjustment in Column (F) of Exhibit No. 1 represents the
Company's insurance deductable amount and assumes the claim wil be honored
by the insurance company. If the insurance company denies the claim, an
adjustment to Bar Circle "s" Water Company's application in this case wil be
required.
Application
BCS- W -09-02

Applicant's total adjusted "Rate Base" proposed in this case is $287,219
as shown on Exhibit No.1, line 6, Column (G).
Results of Operations
Enclosed Exhibit No.2 presents Applicant's proforma income statement.
Column (A) of this exhibit is taken directly from the Company's financial records.
Columns (B) through (G) are adjustments to the actual test year data. Column
(B) is simply a reclassification of expenses that were recorded to incorrect
actounts. These adjustments simply reclassify the expenses to the correct
accounts and have no effect on Applicant's revenue requirement in this case.
Column (C) is the adjustment discussed previously to correct the cost of
replacing the main well pump during the test year. The adjustment in Column (0)
normalizes Applicant's water testing expenses. The required water testing
schedule varies by frequency of each test. This adjustment simply spreads the
testing costs out over the frequency period for each required test. The
adjustments in Column (E) recognize an increase in the Company's labor costs.
Applicant does not have any direct employees. All labor is provided by an
affliated company Avondale Construction. Bar Circle "S" pays Avondale
Construction for services provided. The charges include direct labor costs as
well as employer provided taxes and benefits including unemployment insurance,
FICA taxes, workman's compensation insurance, health insurance, vacation pay,
sick pay, etc. In addition, Bar Circle "S" owns no utility vehicles. The labor
charges paid to Avondale include all vehicle related operating expenses including
fuel, depreciation, insurance, taxes, repairs and maintenance. Avondale
provides these services for a flat monthly fee regardless of the number of hours
required to operate, maintain and manage the water system. Charges from
Avondale for Water Master Services have remained fixed for six (6) years and for
bookkeeping, billng and general offce management for eight (8) years. These
costs translate to a cost per customer for operation, maintenance and
management of the water system of $9.37 per month and $5.31 per month for
bookkeeping, billng and general offce management. Applicant has contacted
Application
BCS- W -09-02

three independent companies that provide water master management and
maintenance services in the region. All three have indicated that the charges for
minimal daily service for a system comparable to Bar Circle "s" Water Company
would be $1,400.00 to $1,500.00 per month. Any required work beyond routine
maintenance would be charged an extra hourly rate. Similarly, Applicant has
contacted an indepèndent billng service company for a quote to bil and maintain
customer records. The monthly cost would be $320.00 or $2.00 per customer.
This service would not include any general bookkeeping, bil payments, bank
reconciliation, phone answering service, dispatching, dealing with regulatory
agencies or any other general offce management service.
Column (F) of Exhibit No. 2 is included as a contingency adjustment for
which Applicant has no concretl9 information. The Company has been informed
by the Kootenai Electric Cooperative (Kootenai) that the Bonnevile Power
Administration is proposing an increase of approximately eight percent (8%) in
the rates it charges Kootenai. Kootenai has not determined if a rate increase wil
be necessary for service provided to its customers. If Kootenai decides that an
increase is necessary, Applicant wil ask the Commission to recognize the
increase in this case.
Column (G) of Exhibit NO.2 recognizes the additional depreciation
expenses related to the 2009 additions to plant discussed above regarding
Exhibit NO.1.
Applicant's proforma net loss for the test year is $39,099.00 as shown on
Exhibit NO.2 in Column (H) on line 27.
Required Rate of Return
Lines 1 through 4 of Exhibit No.3, Column (A) shows Bar Circle "S" Water
Company's Weighted Cost of Capital as recorded for the test year. In Column
(B) is a correction for prior year expenses that should have been capitalized.
This correction is related to the well pump that failed and was replaced early in
Application
BCS- W -09-02
7
the test year. Some of the pump costs were recorded to expense in the prior
year. This adjustment corrects retained earnings resulting from the erroneous
entries in prior year expense accounts. Column (C) is the corrected capital
structure. Column (0) calculates the weight (ratio) of each capital component to
the total. The cost of each component is shown in Column (E) and the weighted
cost is presented in Column (F).
On lines 5 through 8 of this exhibit, the capital structure is adjusted to
recognize the new loan the Company was authorized by Order No. 30832 in
Case No. BCS-W-09-01. The total weighted cost of capital (Return on Rate
Base) is shown in Column (F) on line 8 as 10.59%.
Revenue Requirement
Exhibit NO.4 develops the total Revenue requirement utilzing the data
presented in Exhibit Nos. 1 through 3. Line 1 Column (B) is the $287,219 rate
base shown on Exhibit NO.1. The rate base is multiplied by the 10.59% rate of
return from Exhibit NO.3 to produce the net income required of $30,407 shown
on line 3. The net loss from test year operations shown on line 4 of $39,099
comes from Exhibit NO.2. Combining the line NO.3 income requirement with the
net loss produces the net income deficiency of $69,506 shown on line NO.5.
Revenues must be increased first to overcome the net loss of $39,099.
These revenues would not result in any income tax obligations. They would,
however, result in additional revenues subject to Idaho Public Utilties
Commission (PUC) regulatory fee assessments. Lines 6 through 8 show that
revenues need to be increased by $39,164 to overcome the loss and pay the
additional assessment.
Once the revenues are increased to overcome the loss, the net operating
income requirement of $30,407 must be grossed up to account for additional
PUC fees and taxes. Oevelopment of the 128.09% gross-up factor shown on line
10 is developed below on lines 17 through 25. Applying the gross-up factor to
Application
BCS- W -09-02
8
the net income requirement results in an increase in revenue of $38,948 as
shown on line 11.
Combining the revenue requirement deficiency of $39,099 required to
overcome the loss with the revenue requirement of $38,948 to produce the net
income required results in a total revenue deficiency of $78,112 as shown on
line 12. Added to this amount is $2,223 to recover the Company's estimated rate
case expenses in this case over a three (3) year period. The total revenue
deficiency is therefore $80,335 as shown on line 14.
As shown on line 15, the Company collected $67,255 in revenues during
the test year. Line 16 indicates that the required revenue increase of $80,335 is
an increase of 119.45% in revenues collected under current rates.
Rate Proposal
Applicant is proposing an across the board increase of 119.45% to all
rates and charges contained in its current water rate schedules. Exhibit No. 6 is
a three (3) page exhibit that presents Bar Circle "S" current rate schedules in
legislative format showing the changes proposed. Exhibit NO.7 is a four (4) page
exhibit containing the Company's proposed rate schedules for the Commission's
approval. Pages 1 and 2 of Exhibit No. 7 are the proposed basic water rates.
Page 3 is a revised schedule of non-recurring charges and page 4 is a new tariff
sheet for first time new customer service connection charges. The changes to
the non-recurring charges schedule and the new schedule for first time new
customer connecions are discussed below and are intended to clean-up and
simplify the Company's tariffs.
Non-Recurring Charges
Applicant in this case is proposing to change its schedule of non-recurring
charges to update and clarify the language, change current charges and add a
new returned check charge. The Company is also removing the charges for new
customer connection charges from its existing non-recurring charges schedule
Application
BCS- W -09-02
9
and proposing a new separate schedule (discussed below) for these charges. All
of the items on the new non-recurring charges schedule are intended to recover
costs the Company incurs that are not related to the normal operation of the
water system. The purpose of these charges is to recover costs from those
customers who are directly responsible for costs incurred by the Company so
they are not passed on to all customers through basic water rates.
The non-recurring charges include a reconnection charge for
customers who have been either voluntarily or involuntarily disconnected from
the water systelT. The previously approved rate of $10.00 for reconnecion
during normal business hours was established in 1990, nineteen (19) years ago.
Applicant is proposing to raise this charge to $20.00, a rate equal to the PUC's
recently approved rate for Capitol Water Corporation (See Order No.~0762, Case
No. CAP-W-08-02). During non-bu$iness hours, the Company's current
approved charge (also established in 1990) is $15.00. Applicant is proposing to
substitute an additional $20.00 charge for customer requested service calls
outside of normal business hours. This change too is consistent with the
Commission' Order No. 30762. The language on the new tariff sheet is identical
to the language approved for Capitol Water Corporation.
Applicant has never requested nor been authorized to charge customers a
fee for reprocessing a check that has not been honored by the bank and returned
to the Company. The Company is requested authorization to begin charging a
$15.00 reprocessing fee to the customer's account when this occurs. This item
is also consistent with the Commission Order No. 30762 in the Capitol Water
case.
New Customer Connection Charge
Bar Circle "S" Water Company currently has approval to charge new
customers connecting to the water system for the first time a fee of $750.00
composed of a $500.00 meter installation fee and $250.00 hook-up fee. These
charges are currently on the Company's non-recurring charges tariff schedule.
Application
BCS- W -09-02
10
Applicant proposes to change the fees to more accurately recover the
Company1s real cost of making a first time connection to the water system and
move the charges to a new schedule specifcally for this purpose. The new
schedule måkes the Company's tariff simpler to understand. Applicant is
proposing to model its proposed tariff schedule after the currently Commission
approved rate schedule for the Oiamond Bar Estates Water Company. Oiamond
Bar Estates Water Company is located on the Rathdrum Prairie within a few
miles of Applicant in Kootenai County. That Company utilzes the same suppliers
of materials, equipment and labor as Bar Circle "S" Water Company. The costs
of making a new customer connection for the first time are the same. The
Oiamond Bar Estates tariff was approved by Commission Order NO.30455 (Case
No. DIA-W-07-01) in 2007. Applicant's proposed new tariff schedule is identical
to the approved Oiamond Bar Estates Water Company tariff except the meter
rates have been updated to reflect current costs.
