RE:CASE NO. FLS-07-1; COMPLIANCE FILING - REVISED TARIFFS.
BACKGROUND
On July 27, 2007, Falls Water Company (FLS; Company) filed a general rate case
Application with the Commission for authority to increase its annual revenue by $330 705 and
metered rates by approximately 46.2%. The Company serves approximately 3 200 customers near
Ammon and Idaho Falls. The Company is in the process of converting its remaining flat-rate
customers to metered service so the Company did not request any increase in its flat-rate service
under Schedule R-2. Falls Water anticipates that it will finish converting its remaining flat-rate
customers to metered service by mid-2008.
Commission Order No. 30457 determined that the case be processed via Modified
Procedure with a public hearing to be held December 18, 2007, in Idaho Falls. The Commission
Staff was the only other party to participate in this case. After performing its audit, Staff filed its
comments on November 21, 2007. Staff recommended Falls Water s annual revenues be increased
by approximately $176 900 or an average increase in its metered rates of 24.7%. The Company
filed rebuttal comments on December 7 2007, agreeing with some Staff adjustments and disputing
others. On rebuttal the Company amended its proposed rate increase to 44.22%.
After reviewing the comments of the parties, the testimony at the public hearing and
customers' comments, the Commission issued Order No. 30484 on January 11 2008, authorizing
the Company to increase its annual revenues by $200 060 or 27.93%. Falls Water submitted as a
Compliance Filing the revised tariffs to the Commission on January 15 2008, for Staff review
before final approval.
DECISION MEMORANDUM JANUARY 29, 2008
STAFF REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION
Staff reviewed the revised tariffs to ensure that the new language and rates reflect
Commission directives as stated in Order No. 30484. The amended tariffs include Tariff No. 1
Schedule R-l for Residential Metered Service; Tariff No. 3, Schedule R-3 for Residential Multi-
Family; Tariff No. 4; Schedule C-2 for Metered Commercial Service, and Tariff No. 5 , Schedule M
for Non-Recurring Charges. Staff confirms that the new language and rates comport with
Commission Order No. 30484. Staff recommends approval of the revised tariffs.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to approve the revised tariffs as submitted on January 15 2008
with an effective date of January 14, 2008?
