APPLICATION
PURCHASED POWER ADJUSTMENT RATE )
COMES NOW Capitol Water Corporation ("Capitol", "Applicant" or "Compffiy"), holder
of Certificate of Convenience and Necessity Number 239, and files this Application to change its
Schedule No. 3 Purchased Power Cost Adjustment rate to recover the Company's cost of electricity
related to Idaho Power Company's electric rate schedules that have been approved by the Idaho
Public Utilities Commission ("IPUC" or Commission).
Applicant's current base rates were established by Order No. 30762 in Case No. CAP-W-08-
02. In that order the Commission adopted a three (3) year average of 1,454,401 KWh of electricity
consumption at an average cost of 5.19i, to establish rates for Applicant. Together these produce a
total cost of electric power for Applicant of $75,483.41.
Applicant's actual power costs in the calendar year 2017 were $92,517. This is a cost of
$17,034 more than embedded in the Company's base rates. This additional cost requires an
adjustment to customer rates of 2.6lYo as reflected in Exhibit No. 1 attached to this Application.
Applicant proposes to recover these additional electric power costs by replacing the Company's
currently approved Schedule No.3 Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 3.1% with a new
Purchased Power Cost Adjustment of 2.61%.
Initially when the Commission approved the PPCA for Capitol Water Corporation, it
adopted a three (3) year average of power consumption, as proposed by the Staff of the Commission
(Staff, as more indicative of what to expect in the future. In case (CAP-W-17-01) the Commission

adopted, the most recent twelve months of power costs as a better more efficient method for the
Company to recover its' increased electric power costs.
Also enclosed is a one page Exhibit No.2 that is a copy of the Company's current approved
Schedule No. 3 in legislative format that shows the proposed change to the Purchased Power Cost
Adjustment.
A new Schedule No. 3, with the proposed power cost adjustment rate, is enclosed for the
Commission's approval with an effective date of July 15, 2018.
Applicant has provided a work sheet showing the detail of the Company's electric power
bills used to develop the proposed power cost adjustment to the Commission's Staff for its review.
Applicant requests that the Commission process this Application under its rules of modified
procedure and approve the rates effective August 1, 2018
Capitol Water Corporation will inform its customers of this application through a customer
notice that will be included with customer bills to be mailed June 1,2018 and by a news release that
is being sent to the Idaho Statesman and the Idaho Business Review newspapers coincident with
this filing. Copies of the customer notice and news release are enclosed as Exhibit Nos. 3 and 4
respectively.
