BEFORE THE
IDAHO PUBLIC UTiliTIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE INVESTIGATION)
OF lOW WATER PRESSURE IN A PORTION OF EAGLE WATER
COMPANY'S SERVICE AREA
CASE NO. EAG-05-;K elL
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC.
APPLICATION FOR AN
EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
COMES NOW, Eagle Water Company, Inc. ("Eagle Water" or "the Company
and hereby requests that the Idaho Public Utilities Commission ("the Commission
issue an order granting an emergency surcharge to cover certain necessary expenses
already incurred and expenses it proposes to incur for improvements to its water system
to alleviate pressure problems in the Eagle Springs Estates subdivision ("Eagle
Springs ) area of its system. These expenses are proper expenses to be duly
recovered from its ratepayers.
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC.
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
Eagle Water s request is based on the following:
As the Commission knows , Eagle Water customers in the highest
elevation of Eagle Springs experienced low water pressure problems in late July of this
year.
Eagle Water worked to alleviate the low water pressure problem by
replacing the eight-inch mainline that was connected to the booster pump serving Eagle
Springs with a 12-inch mainline. (The eight-inch mainline was installed last summer as
a temporary solution to the undermining of the 12-inch line that had been serving the
booster pump by the operator of the adjacent gravel pit.) The new 12-inch mainline was
fully operational as of August 5, 2005. The 12-inch line could not be replaced earlier
because the gravel operator was still mining gravel from that area. See Exhibit
attached.
The cost of replacing the eight-inch mainline with a 12-inch mainline was
$40,027.00 dollars. See Exhibit , attached.
The replacement of the eight-inch mainline has addressed the immediate
low water pressure problems in Eagle Springs. Nevertheless, the potential for
occasional drops in water pressure remains, especially in light of the continued wasting
of water that has been observed in Eagle Springs , despite water conservation
suggestions from Eagle Water. See Exhibit , attached.
Eagle Water engineer, James M. Rees, P., MTC, Inc., has identified
additional measures that may further alleviate water pressure problems in the Eagle
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC. - 2
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
Springs area. Those measures can be summed up as follows: (1) increase the power
of the current Booster Pump from 60 horse power (HP) to 75HP or 100 HP ("Option 1 "
(2) add an additional booster pump station under Big Springs Street at the 2 700-foot
elevation to ensure the 51 Eagle Water customers at the highest' elevation in Eagle
Springs have 40 pounds per square-inch of pressure ("PSI") consistently at the meter
regardless of the water wasting by their lower elevation neighbors and the homeowners
association. ("Option 2"); or (3) add a new well to the Eagle Water system ("Option 3).
The estimated cost of Option 1 is $87 075.00. Mr. Rees estimates that it
would take a minimum of 38 days with a three-man crew to fully implement Option
however it would take an additional two weeks to complete engineering design before
work could begin. This would put the solution well past the current irrigation season.
See Exhibit , attached. The estimated cost of Option 2 is $81 607., or $1 600.
per affected service. Similar to Option 1 , this option would take approximately six
weeks to fully implement, well past the current irrigation season. Id.
In order to develop a long-term solution for pressure problems in the Eagle
Springs area, as well as develop a long-term plan for its overall system, the
Commission has ordered Eagle Water to produce an engineering report for its entire
system. The estimated cost of this report is $79 894.75. See Exhibit 4.
In analyzing the relative cost-benefit of Option 1 or Option 2, Mr. Rees has
concluded that the addition of a new well on the Eagle Water system (Option 3) would
be a more cost-effective and , therefore, more prudent resolution to the Eagle Springs
water pressure problems. See Exhibit 4.
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC. - 3
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
The east portion of the Company s water system includes all customers
located east of Old Highway 55 and North of Hill Road.Based on a lot count, there
are approximately 275 customers in this area, which includes Eagle Springs.
10.On August 15, 2004, Eagle Water pumped 4 763 000 gallons of water to
meet customer demand. On July 17, 2005, Eagle Water pumped 5,156 000 gallons to
meet customer demand. The Eagle Springs subdivision accounts for 13 percent (130/0)
of Eagle Water s peak demand for 2004 and 2005, even though it only represents 9
percent (90/0) of its overall customers.
11.Based on DEQ criteria for estimating system demand for metered public
water systems, the peak demand anticipated for the Eagle Springs area is
approximately 2 000 gallons per minute (gpm). In addition to normal peak demands
fire flow requirements for public safety are 1 500 gpm. Thus, under a worst-case
scenario, peak hour demand could exceed 3,500 gpm. See Exhibit 4.
12.Eagle Water Company has four fully operating wells in its system (Well
Nos. 1 , 2, 4 & 6). Well No.3 is only used as a back-up supply source due to problems
with sand. Well No.5 has never been developed.
13.Based on the maximum pumping rates of Eagle Water s current system
wells (Well No.1 - 600 gpm; Well No.2 - 400 gpm; Well. No.4 - 2 000 gpm; Well No.
- 2 000 gpm), the maximum the existing wells can supply is 7 , 138 000 gallons. Thus, if
either Well No.4 or Well No.6 should temporarily fail , there would not be adequate
quantity or pressure for the system. See Exhibit 4.
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC. - 4
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
14.Eagle Water has a permit from the Idaho Department of Water Resources
to develop this resource. That permit is set to expire on March 1 , 2006. See Exhibit 4.
15.The addition of this well has previously been approved by the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") and the Idaho Department of Water
Resources. See Exhibit 4.
16.Due to the fast-paced growth in the Eagle area , well drillers have to be 60
to 90 days in advance. Consequently, Eagle Water needs to execute a drilling contract
for this well in September of 2005.
17.The estim~ted cost for bringing this well online in the Eagle Water system
is $390 305.00. See Exhibit 4.
18.Because Eagle Water is a small company, the cost of preparing and
processing an interim surcharge request will represent a significant extraordinary
expense. Eagle Water estimates that the legal and accounting expenses associated
with implementing the proposed improvements and applying to the Commission for
approval to recover the investments through an interim surcharge will be approximately
250.00. See attached Exhibits 5 and 6.
19.The Company proposes to borrow the necessary funds to cover these
proposed capital investment expenses. The total estimated cost for the expenditures
identified in Exhibits 2 , 5 and 6, as well as the system-wide Engineering Study, and
either Option 1 or Option 2, is $214 246.75. Under the terms of a financing proposal
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC. - 5
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
from Idaho Banking Company, the cost of the loan would be the WSJ Prime plus 2
percent (currently, 8.50/0) spread over three years. See Exhibit , attached.
20.Certified Public Accountant Geneva Trent has calculated the necessary
surcharge to repay the loan identified in Exhibit 7 , as shown in Exhibit 8. Ms. Trent has
prepared draft Revised Tariffs based on this alternative. Those draft Revised Tariffs are
attached hereto as Exhibit 9.
21.The total estimated cost for the expenditures identified in Exhibits 2 , 5 and
, as well as the system-wide Engineering Study and Option 3 is $517 476.75. Based
on the proposed financing terms outlined in Exhibit 7, Ms. Trent has tentatively
calculated the necessary surcharge to cover these costs as shown on the attached
Exhibit 10. Draft Revised Tariffs, reflecting this alternate proposed surcharge are
attached as Exhibit 11.
22.Based on the foregoing, and because the expenses incurred to date and
the proposed expenditures would be in the public interest, Eagle Water requests that
the Commission authorize the expenditures identified in Exhibits 2, 5 and 6, as well as
the proposed expenditure for a system-wide Engineering Study, and the proposed
expenditure for Option 3 as prudent capital investments, the costs of which are proper
expenses to be duly recovered from ratepayers with an Emergency Surcharge.
23.The Company further requests the Commission issue its order approving
the scheduled surcharge shown on the attached Exhibits 10 and as a fair, just and
reasonable method for recovery of its costs associated with the capital investments
referenced above.
EAGLE WATER COMPANY, INC. - 6
APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY SURCHARGE
24.The Company will maintain a separate balancing account on its books
with all transactions related to this Application flowing through the account on a monthly
basis as transactions occur. None of the expenditures proposed in this Application and
approved by the Commission for recovery will be recorded to the Company s plant
accounts and the Company will not seek to add these costs to its rate base for rate-
making purposes. Quarterly status reports will be provided to the Commission, in
writing, to apprise the Commission of moneys expended, construction progress , and
testing results, if any. Eagle Water proposes to borrow the funds necessary for this
capital investment expenditure. Eagle Water has not, however, obtained a formal
financing proposal from Idaho Banking Company for this expenditure, pending the
Commission s decision.
25.Communications with reference to this request should be sent to the
following:

Re: Eagle Water Company: Pressure
Dear Molly;
The initial pressure loss in the Eagle Springs Subdivision occurred last summer when the
I operator of the gravel pit between Old Horseshoe Bend Road and New Highway 55
removed the 12-inch C-900 water main. This was without adequate notice to the Eagle
Water Company. An 8-inchline was installed last summer to provide emergency service
to the area. The original 12-inch line was the feeder to a 60 HP booster pump that serves
the Eagle Springs and Brenson subdivisions. The 8-inch temporary line did not supply
enough water to the booster pump for the amount of irrigation the Eagle Springs and
Brenson homeowners and Eagle Springs Homeowners Association, Inc. were using
during the peak of the 2005 irrigation season. This resulted in a pressure below 40 psi
(pounds per square inch) in the main lines serving above elevation 2 700 in Eagle
Springs.
The 12-inch line has now been reinstalled and the pressure. has increased. If the
excessive irrigation demand is reduced and the peak demand is spread over a longer time
period, pursuant to the Commission s directive to Eagle Springs customers, then the
pressure should be above the required minimum.
The 12-inch pipe installation, however, is only a short term fix. Consequently, the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") has requested assurance from Eagle
Water that water pressure in the Eagle Springs area would not drop below 20 psi at the
I meter. _As a result, we have looked at alternate methods .to ensure pressure would remain
above the required DEQ minimums. Those options are discussed below.
OPTION
The first option we evaluated was changing out the existing booster pump from the
current 60 H.P. to a 100 H.P. pump with enough pressure to maintain a pressure of 40 psi
at 9658 Big Springs (the highest residential service elevation in Eagle Springs). During
the hi gh d em an d-time,this-W0111d-inGfeaS e-the-pf0sS11fe-at-th e-pllmp-en-th e-di-s G hafge-sid
from the existing 90-plus psi to the 120-125 psi range. The increased pressure would be
even worse in normal demand times. To do this it would require Pressure Reducing
Valves ("PRVs ) to be installed on 141 homes on the lower side of the system serving
Brenson Subdivision. In addition, a new meter box would be required for every two of
the 141 homes and 5 Common Areas to accommodate the PR V s.
T-he meter at each home would have to be moved onto the property and the new meter
box installed with thePRV. This reconstruction will require repair of the lawns and
sidewalks at each home.
The construction cost for Option 1 is estimated to be:
Pump
Material
Labor
25% profit
Miss.! 0%
500.
000.
000.
125.
450.
TOT AL $ 87,,075.
This cost is approximately $364.00 per house. This station would have to be designed by
a professional Engineer, approved by DEQ, and constructed. The estimated time frame
for the construction would be 38 days for a 3 man crew with equipment of a backhoe and
truck. Including the time needed for engineering design and DEQ approval time, this
option would take six (6) weeks at a minimum, well past the current irrigation season.
OPTION 2
We also evaluated adding another booster pump to serve the 51 highest elevation
customers in Eagle Springs. The cost estimate and details are as follows.
To be sure there is 40 psi in the mainline serving the highest home in Eagle Springs, a
booster station would be required in Big Springs Street at approximately elevation 2700.
I This booster facility would have two pumps in accordance with DEQ requirements
unless a waiver could be obtained. If a waiver could be obtained this price could besignificantly reduced.
Again this station would have to be designed by a professional Engineer, approved by
DEQ, and constructed... This would take approximately six (6) week at a minimum, once
again putting the solution well past the current irrigation season.
An estimated cost for this duplex-pump booster station would be as follows:
2 Pumps ~ $4200.
2 VFD'~ $2050.
1 Electrical Service Concrete Structure
$ 8,400.
$ 4 100.

$ 6 025.
$ 4 000.
$60,,450.
$15 112.
$ 6 045.
$81,,607.
This would result in a cost of approximately $1600.00 per affected service.
OPTION 3
While evaluating the potential short-tenn fixes it became evident that another well is
essential. .
The evaluation of Option 1 and Option 2 were based on the assumption that adequate
water is available. However, if one of the two main wells were to break down or fail, for
any reason, then there would not be adequate supply to either of the booster pumps. This
potential supply problem was previously noted by this Engineer and discussed with the
Eagle Water Company. Eagle Water directed us to prepare a set of specifications and a
design for a well capable of producing a minimum of 2000 gallons per minute (gpm).
These specifications and design were completed, a pennit was obtained from the Idaho
Department of Water Resources, and approval was obtained from the DEQ. These
specifications and approval letters are enclosed.
The wells serving Eagle Water customers pumped 4 763 00 gallon on 15 August 2004.
On 17 July 2005, 5 156 000 gallons was pumped. Using the pumping rate timed on
August 5, 2005 as the maximum the existing wells can supply, the daily rate would be
138 00 gallons per day. This rate was based on a short interval observation of the two
biggest producing wells on August 5th. This observed rate was approximately 2 000 gpm
on either well. If either one of these 2000 gpm wells failed, then the maximum pumping
rate would not produce the required quantity and, consequently, pressure.

There was not sufficient time to consider other methods to satisfy the Eagle Springs
pressure problem. But in accordance with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission s recent
order, we are submitting an estimate to prepare a master plan and system evaluation to
I include computer based simulation of the existing system and a model of needed
improvements. Considering the fast-paced growth of Eagle over the last two or three
years, and projecting future demand accordingly, we expect this Engineering Study to
demonstrate the need for yet another new supply source to meet this growing demand.

CONCLUSION
Based on the short study time and the length of time to construct either Option 1 or
Option 2, it is our professional conclusion that the best short term solution is to continue
withaltemate-dayand staggered-hour iITigation in the Eagle Springs and Brenson
subdivisions for the remainder of the current iITigation season. In addition, it is our
professional opinion that a new well should be drilled as soon as possible and a complete
study of the system conducted that will outline global solutions and system planning for
the next three to five years. We anticipat~ such a study will take a minimum of three
months to complete.

RE:Eagle Municipal Well #7, Well Construction Design
Dear Mr. Rees:
DEQ staff has completed evaluation of the Well Construction specification. The well construction is determined to
be acceptable following incorporation of the changes listed below. Staff will convey this position to IDWR.
1) Clay seals may only be used in wells with annular gaps greater than six inches. (RSWW 3., 2003Edition. Clay Seals "Where an annular opening greater than six inches is available a clay seal of clean local
clay mixed with at least 10 per cent swelling bentonite may be used when approved by the reviewing
authority. "
2) Test pumping shall adhere to the requirements stated in the 1 0 States Standards (a), and IDAP A rules forduration of testing with respect to drawdown (b).
a) RSWW 3.2.4., 2003 Edition: "The test shall provide, as a minimum, for continuous pumping for at least24 hours at the design pumping rate or until stabilized drawdown has continued for at least six hours when
test pumped at 1.5 times the design pumping rate, or as required by the reviewing authority.
b) IDAPA 58.01.08.550.03.f.i states: "The well shall be test pumped at the desired yield (design capacity) of
the well for at least twenty-four (24) consecutive hours after the drawdown has stabilized. Alternatively, the
well may be pumped at a rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the desired yield for at least six (6)
continuous hours after the drawdown has stabilized. In either case, jfthe drawdowM does nots~abilize~ the
.. ..
pumping must continue for at least seventy-two (72) consecutive hours. The 'field pumping equipment mustbe capable of maintaining a constant rate of discharge during the test. Discharge water must be piped anadequate distance to prevent recharge of the well during the test. If the well fails the test protocol, the welldesign shall be re-evaluated and submitted to the Department for approval. (5-03)"
, .
3) Add the following data to the test pumping data submittal per RSWW 3.2.4., 2003 Edition.a) Test pump capacity-head characteristics, . b) depth of test pump setting,
c) time of starting and ending each test cycle, andd) the zone of influence for the well.

4) Add the following information requirements per RSWW 3.2.4.1.g, 2003 Edition. "A report shall be submittedwhich provides recordings and graphic evaluation of the following at one hour intervals or less as may be
required by the reviewing authority:
a) pumping rate
b) pumping water level
c) drawdown, andd) water recovery rate and levels.
