)
On November 10,2015,Eagle Water Company filed an Application seeking authority
to implement a surcharge on its customers’water usage.Eagle Water requested that its
Application be processed via Modified Procedure and that the surcharge become effective in
approximately 30 days.On December 3,2015,the Commission issued Order No.33430
suspending the proposed effective date for a period of 90 days,until March 10,2016.
On March 4,2016,Commission Staff filed a Motion to further suspend the proposed
effective date in this matter for an additional 90 days,until June 8,2016.Staff and Eagle Water,
the only parties in this case,agreed that there is good cause for granting the Motion.In
particular,Staff maintained that the parties have worked diligently towards resolving issues in
the Application but the process has taken longer than the initial 90-day suspension.The parties
further stated that they believe that the issues can be fully resolved within the additional 90 days
in a manner that is fair,equitable,and sustainable to ratepayers and the Company.
After reviewing the Motion and considering the agreement of the parties,we find that
good cause exists for the further suspension.No party will be prejudiced by the extension,and
no harm will come to ratepayers as a result.Accordingly,pursuant to the Commission’s
authority under Idaho Code §61-622 and Rule 256 (IDAPA 3 1.01.01.256),we grant the Motion
and further suspend the proposed effective date for an additional 90 days,until June 8,2016.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Commission Staff’s Motion is granted.The
proposed effective date is further suspended for a period of 90 days,until June 8,2016,unless
the Commission issues an earlier Order accepting,rejecting,or modifying the Application.
