MOTION TO FURTHER SUSPEND
PROPOSED EF'FECTIVE DATE
COMES NOW the Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission, by and through its
attomey of record, Brandon Karpen, Deputy Attorney General, and respectively moves the
Commission to further suspend the proposed effective date in this matter for an additional 90
days, until June 8, 2016, pursuant to the Commission's authority under ldaho Code $ 6l-622 and
Rule 256 (IDAPA 31.01.01 .256). The parties in this case (Staff and Eagle Water) have agreed to
funher suspend this matter to allow the parties additional time to resolve this matter.
On November 10, 2015, Eagle Water filed the underlying Application seeking
authority to implement a 53.82%o surcharge on 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, 2016, the Commission issued Order No. 33430
suspending the proposed effective date for a period of 90 days, until March 10,2016.
Staff and Eagle Water, the only parties to this action, have worked diligently towards
resolving the request in a manner that is fair, equitable, and sustainable to ratepayers and the
Company. This review has taken longer than the initial 90-day suspension. Both parties agree
that good cause exists to further extend the effective date by an additional 90 days. Accordingly,
Staff and Eagle Water jointly request that, pursuant to ldaho Code $ 6l-622, the Commission
MOTION TO SUSPEND
PROPOSED EFFECTIVE DATE 1
issue an Order to further suspend the proposed effective date for an additional 90 days, turtil June
8, 2016. The parties anticipate that this matter can be fully resolved within that timeframe.
Respectfully submitted this 4ttt day of March 2016.
