On September 11 , 1996, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) in

alternatives for mitigating or eliminating the iron and manganese in the Company s wells and
water distribution system.
In Case No. CAP- W-96-2 (Application for a Temporary Rate Increase to Implement
Water Quality Improvements), Order No. 27022, page 7, the Commission directed Capitol Water
to use the CAP- W -96-1 case docket for the administrative filing of quarterly reports by the
Company related to temporary surcharge collections and disbursements for capital improvements
and repairs to the Company s system. Reference Surcharge No.1 (Tariff Schedule 1 - $3.27 per
month, Order No. 27022; Tariff Schedule 2 - 25.2%, Order No. 27022) and Surcharge No.
