Attorneys for Eagle Water Company, Inc.
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-
STATUS REPORT and PETITION
FOR RELIEF
COMES NOW, Eagle Water Company, Inc. ("Eagle Water ), by and
through undersigned counsel, and files this Status Report and Petition for
Extension of Emergency Surcharge.
Eagle Water has been diligently pursuing the completion of a Final
Engineering Report to meet the requirements set forth in the Commission s Order
No. 29840 , as well as to meet the competing demands of a Consent Order
entered into with the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality in February of
last year.
EAGLE WATER STATUS REPORT and
PETITION FOR RELIEF - 1
To that end , Eagle Water has been working with Jim Rees, P., of MTC.
Inc, here in Boise, and Chet A. Hovey, P., of Salt Lake City, Utah. A Final
Engineering Report draft was submitted to DEQ for review on March 14, 2007.
DEQ completed its review of that draft report and sent Eagle Water a letter
outlining several Action Items on March 22 2007. Mr. Rees and Mr. Hovey have
consulted with DEQ regarding the Action Items, and anticipate having a revised
Final Engineering Report ready to submit to DEQ by June 15 , 2007.
As previously noted in Eagle Water s STATUS REPORT filed with the
Commission on February 28 , 2007, the Engineering Report on Eagle Water
system has undergone several iterations , in addition to the current revision.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a current invoice from MTC for services rendered
by it, to date , on the Engineering Report.
A total of $135 509.63 has been collected through the surcharge as of
April 30 , 2007. Of this amount, the expenditure of$112,414.00 has previously
been authorized by this Commission , resulting in a difference of $23 095.63.
Given the cost of the Engineering Report to date , apart from associated legal and
accounting fees, it is unlikely that there will be an "over collection" of surcharge
fees in the near future. For this reason , Eagle Water respectfully requests the
Commission to:
1. Continue to allow Eagle Water to collect the current surcharge amount in
accordance with the terms of the Commission s Order No. 302013; and
2. Extend the deadline for Eagle Water to file an application for financing the
system improvements required by DEQ as a result of the Final
Engineering Report to July 1 , 2007.
I Counsel for Eagle Water Company will be out of the country from May 11 - May 27 , resulting in a two-
week delay.
EAGLE WATER STATUS REPORT and
PETITION FOR RELIEF - 2
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 1st day of May, 2007.
