GENERAL RATE IN CREASE REO UESf
Exhibit Numbers 1 through 4 present the support for the Company s request to increase
its water rates.. In preparing this Application, the Company s consultant bas reviewed all
of the years 2003 through and including 2006 and adjusted the financial statements to
reflect nonnal utility accounting practices. The consultants wOIk papers are included on
a computer disc in electronic format for the Commi~on Staff" s review and should be
used in lieu of the :annual repom; filed with the Commi~g,on..
Rate DaM; Exhibit No.
Column (A) ofExlnOit No.1 presents the Compmys 2006 test year tate base as restated
by our consultant. Plant in Service (line 1) bas increased from $3 060 as approved by the
ommi~on in the year 2003 (Older No. 29241) to $16, 412.00 by the end of2006. The
difference is composed of items Ordered by the Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality ($11,253J)o), hydrant locks installed (with the consent of the fire district) to
prevent water theft ($1 135.00) and legal fees to acquire and protect water rights
($1 023.00). None oftbese improvements produce additional revenue to the company.
After deducting accumulated depreciation of $1 834., Net Plant in Service (Line 3) is
$14 638.00.
On lines 4, 5 and 6 1he Company has included its UDaIOOrbzed Rate Case expenses
through the end of2006. The Company believes this is an apPJ:()priate addition to rate
base for a small company with limited resourees.. The costs to process a rate case is a real
cost of doing business that requires the infusion of capital that otherwise would not be
required and could be invested by the owners in some other profitable manner. Exclusion
of this item effectively precludes 1he owners from earning any return on these necessary
investments.
On line 8, a working capital allowance equal to 1I8~ of the Company s Operation, and
Maintenance expenses is added to produce a Rate Base of $19 133.00 as shown on line 9.
Columns (8). (C) and (D) add proforma adjustments to :rate base to recognize additional
rate case expenses expected to be incurred to process this current Application, additional
legal costs to complete the acquisition and perfection of the Company s water rights and
to recognize additional working capital requirements resulting fiom the Company
proforma Operation and Maintenance expenses presented on Exhibit No.2. The Total
Rate Base the Compmy is proposing of $27 545.00 is shown on line 9, Column (E) of
this exhibit.
ResulU of Operations, Exhibit No.
ExJn"bit No.2 presents in Columns (A) through (D) comparative income statements for
the years 2003 tbrough and including 2006. The exhibit also includes proforma
adjustments in Columns (E) through (I) to develop an adjusted income statement in
Column (1) for use in this case to detennine the Company s revenue requirement.
As can be seen in Columns (A) tbrough (D). the Company has operated at a loss for each
year since the Compmy s Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity was issued
and mtes were established by the Commi~mon. The owners have continued to provide
additional capital to fund the cam flow needs of the Company to meet its operating costs
and comply with governmentally required improvements and repairs. The test year 2006
(Column (D)) produced a net operating loss of$5 184.00.
Adjustments to the test year include: Column (E) increases expenses by $359.00 to
annllali7.e an increase in the Company s electric expenses that was effective in September
2006; Column (F) increases expenses by $1 661.00 to amortize the additional costs of
preparing, filing and supporting this application over a three year amortization period;
Column (0) increases expenses by $511.00 to normalize the Company s water testing
expenses; Column (II) increases depreciation expense by $256.00 to annualize
depreciation expense on plant added in 2006; Column (I) increases expenses by
$3,900.00 to annualize increases in water master and bookkeeping fees that were
effective July I , 2006.
The adjusted test year 2006 Net Opernting Loss of $12 482.00 shown on line 21, Column
(J) is used in this Application to determine the Company s revenue requirement.
Cost of Capital and Rate of Return, Exhibit No.
ExIn"bit No.3 present the capital stmcture and cost of capital for Diamond Bar Estates
Water Company. Even though presented here as a conventional weighted cost of capital
calculation, the practical result is that all capital bas been provided by the owners and
therefore should be treated as equity. The Notes payable shown on this exhibit are
simply a mechanism for the owners to tmck additional equity personally invested and
transferred from other business interests of the owners. The overall weighted cost of
capital and rate of return used in this case is 12% as shown on line 5, Column (D).
Revenue RequiremeDt7 Exhibit No.
Exhibit No.4 utilizes the data shown on the first three exhibits to develop the Company
revenue reqWrement, revenue deficiency and increase in rates necessary to produce the
revenue reqWrement. Applying the rate of return (from Exbt"bit No.3) shown on line 2 to
the rate base (from Exhibit No.1) shown on line I produces a net operating income
requirement ofSJ,305.00 as shown on line 3.. This net operating income must be
grossed-up to provide for the effect of taxes and fees that are sensitive to increases in
revenue. The calculation of the gross-up factor is shown on lines 10 through 18, Column
(A) of this exhibit. The additional revenue necessary to produce the net operating income
requirement is $4,231.00 as shown on line 5 oftbis exhibit. Additionally, revenue must
be increased to overeome the net opeunrog loss of $12,482.00 shown on line 6.
Additional revenues received to overcome this loss do not result in taxable income
therefore a separate gross-up factor (excluding taxes) is calculated on lines 10 through
, Column (B). The additional revenue necessary to overcome the net operating loss is
$12,513.00 as shown on line 8 of this exIn"bit. The total additional revenue the Company
must realize to produce the net operating income and overcome the net operating loss is
$16 151.00 as shown on line 1. Line 8 shows the actual revenues collected fiom water
sales in the test year.. Line 9 calculates the percentage increase in water revenues
necessary
TariJfs, Exhibit Nos. 1 & 8
Exhi"bit No., (a :2 page exhibit) is a marked-up copy of the company s existing tariff
rates showing the existing rates and proposed rates in legislative format.
ExIn"'bit No., (a 2 page exhibit) is a clean copy of the company s proposed new tariff
sheets for the Commi~o ' approval.
Customer Noti~ Edribit No.
Exhibit No.9 (a one page exln"'bit) shows both the Company s notice to its customers and
a notice to be published in the Coeur d' Alene Press and Spokesman Review newspapers.
The customer notice will be included with customer bills in May. The newspaper notice
will be published coincident with mailing the notice directly to our customers
Rate Design, Exhibit No. 10
ExlnDit No.1 0 presents the Company s calculation of the new rates required to produce
the revenue reqWrem.ent. Lines 1 through 8 of this exhibit calculate the average annual
consumption of customers and revenues billed.. In this calculation, the Company has
annualized revenues for the number of customers connected to the system at year end
2006. As shown on line 8, 41.34% of the Company s revenues are being produced from
excess water consumption and 58.66% of the revenues come from the base rate including
the :first 1 500 gallons of consumption.
Lines 9 through 14 calculate the rates the Company proposes to produce the required
revenue. The Company proposes to increase the amount of revenue collected through the
base rate (mcluding the first 1 500 gallons) from 58.66% of total revenues to 15%. This
shift is necessary to level out the Company s cash flow need to meet its fixed costs during
winter months. This sbift also smoothes customeIS annual water costs over the year and
decreases some of the summer spike in their bills. The proposed new base rate of $50.
per month and excess commodity charge of$O.52/1000 gallons is shown on line 14.
Lines 15 shows the avemge annual bill that results from the new proposed rates as
compared to the annual bills under present rates shown on line 1.
Effective Date & Modified Procedure
The company proposes an effective date for the new rates to be the first day of the month
beginning 30 days after the date of filing this case. That effective date would be June 1
2007.
The company requests that the ~on proceed with this case under Modified
Procedure without hearing. In the event the CoIIlDlissi.on determines a hearing is
ecessary, the company stands ready to prepare and file testimony in support of the
attached exhibits.
