BACKGROUND
1. Falls Water is a regulated private utility that provides water service to
approximately 6,900 residential and commercial customers located generally north of the City of
Ammon and Northeast of the City of Idaho Falls in Bonneville County, Idaho. Falls Water’s
principal place of Address is 2180 North Deborah Drive, Idaho Falls, Idaho.
2. In 2020, the Company filed an Application seeking the Commission’s approval of
the acquisition of the assets of Morning View Water Company (“Morning View”). See
Application, FLS-W-20-04 (filed July 31, 2020). The Application noted, among other things,
that “one of Morning View’s wells will likely require an upgrade.” Id. at 5. The Commission
approved the Application in November 2020. See Order No. 34833, Case No. FLS-W-20-04
(filed Nov. 13, 2020).
3. After acquiring Morning View’s assets, Falls Water conducted a review of system
needs and contracted with Aspen Engineering to complete a Facility Plan for the system.
4. The Facility Plan, attached as Exhibit 1, indicates that a new backup well for the
system is needed “immediately” to ensure sufficient water supply if the primary well fails.

FALLS WATER’S APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT WELL PAGE 3 OF 6
5. As set forth in more detail below, Falls Water believes that installing a new well
and related infrastructure (collectively, the “Project”) for the Morning View system is
reasonable, necessary, and in the public interest. Accordingly, Falls Water respectfully requests
that the Commission approve the project.
THE PROJECT
6. The Morning View system uses exclusively groundwater.
7. The Morning View system has three groundwater wells. Two of the wells are old
and cannot supply meaningful amounts of water to the system due to their age and inadequate
construction. See Facility Plan at 4.
8. The Company has not used the two old wells since the Morning View acquisition
due to the muddy water they produce. In addition, the wells are so shallow that the water level is
influenced by the water in nearby irrigation canals, and they cannot be relied upon as a source of
water.
9. Due to the inadequacy of these two wells, a single well provides nearly all of the
water for the Morning View system. Id.
10. This leaves the system without a backup well to provide water if the currently
functioning well fails. Id.
11. In light of this, the Facility Plan states: “a backup well is needed immediately, in
the event of a well failure.” Id.
12. The Facility Plan recommends that the new backup well be equipped with backup
power generation “to prevent depressurization events during power outages.” Facility Plan at 5.

FALLS WATER’S APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT WELL PAGE 4 OF 6
13. Some additional work—such as installing new piping into the wellhouse,1
updating a sand separator, and updating/installing variable frequency drive (“VFD”) controls—is
needed to integrate the new well into the system and to ensure that the backup supply is available
and functional.
14. The Facility Plan provides an order-of-magnitude estimate of $200,000 to install
the new well and pump. Facilities Plan at 5, 26. This estimate includes the physical work related
to the well and pump but does not include engineering fees and other work necessary to integrate
the well into the system. Falls Water estimates that the total cost of the Project will be between
$300,000 and $350,000.
15. Falls Water would like to initiate the Project as soon as possible. To complete the
Project, Falls Water has identified the following tasks: complete engineering plans for the well
and connecting the well to existing infrastructure; drill the well; connect the well to existing
infrastructure; update piping within the wellhouse; update the sand separator and VFD controls;
and obtain and install the backup power generator.
16. As explained below, Falls Water believes that the Project represents the most
cost-effective, reasonable, and prudent approach to ensuring adequate service from the Morning
View system.
17. Falls Water has considered the recommendations in the Facilities Plan, as well as
other potential options to address the inadequacy of two of the three existing wells.
18. Falls Water considered deepening the two existing wells—which currently do not
produce significant amounts of water for the system—instead of installing a new well.

1 For context, the current piping within the wellhouse appears to be farm sprinkler pipe.

FALLS WATER’S APPLICATION FOR REPLACEMENT WELL PAGE 5 OF 6
19. This option is not practical. The casings on these two wells are too thin and do not
meet current requirements. The casings cannot be removed and replaced with modern, adequate
casings.
20. Other options, such as storage, do not provide an alternate source of water supply.
21. Accordingly, Falls Water submits that installing a new well is the most cost-
effective, reasonable, and prudent action to take under these circumstances.
MODIFIED PROCEDURE
22. Falls Water believes that a hearing is not necessary to consider the issues
presented in this Application and respectfully requests that it be processed by modified
procedure, using written submissions rather than a hearing, under the Commission’s Rules of
Procedure 201 through 210.
CONCLUSION
Falls Water respectfully requests that the Commission enter an order:
1. Authorizing this matter to be processed by modified procedure;
2. Authorizing Falls Water to undertake the Project identified and described in this
Application; and
3. Granting such other relief as the Commission deems just and reasonable.
DATED: January 31, 2024.

CHAPTER 1 Summary

Introduction
The Morning View Water Company (MVWC), a subsidiary of Falls Water Co. Inc., has contracted
with Aspen Engineering to complete a Preliminary Engineering Report and a Facility Plan for the
Morning View water system. This document serves as both reports. This report serves as the basis
of design for modifications.

The findings of this study are summarized below:

Water Requirements

The population serviced by MVWC is approximately 400 people via approximately 138 active
individual connections. Morning View Water Company's historical average daily demand (ADD)
for the years 2021 through 2023 was 125,948 gallons. This water system’s main well is located at
3990 E 178 N, Rigby, ID.

Supply

MVWC currently utilizes groundwater as its sole source of water. The groundwater is mainly
supplied by one well. There are two other older wells that produce a very limited amount of water.
Both old wells are located on a single lot and are separated by 100 feet. Aspen Engineering is
proposing that both older wells, known as Wells 1 & 2 within the report, be replaced. All the wells
lie within the Company’s platted service area. Total pumping capacity of the active production
well is estimated at 940 gpm or 1,353,600 gallons per day, which is about 11 times the system
ADD.

The current firm capacity (largest well out of service) of the Company’s production wells is 200
gpm or 288,000 gallons per day. Current firm capacity does not meet PHD or MDD (Peak Hourly
Demand or Maximum Daily Demand) flow requirements, and a backup well is needed
immediately, in the event of a well failure.

Storage

There is no current storage at the Morning View Water system.

Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Page 5

Distribution

The distribution system is composed of both 4 inch and 6-inch main lines. These mains are
exclusively class 200 PVC. Any future expansions should continue to incorporate similar
materials throughout the distribution system. The water system does not have fire hydrants, and
the distribution mains are adequate to supply domestic flows.

Water Quality and Regulations

All of Morning View’s water is supplied by groundwater wells. The water quality is good, and
compliance with both State and Federal regulations for contaminants is currently being maintained.
Currently, there is no water treatment provided at the MVWC facilities.

Capital Improvement Program

A new backup well with adequate capacity to meet the firm ADD demand must be planned and
completed as soon as possible. The estimated cost to complete the new well and pump is $235,000.
Additionally, it is recommended that backup power generation be provided for the new well to
prevent depressurization events during power outages. We recommend using a VFD pump
controller on the new well. Leaks in the mainline contribute to significant pumping losses and
should be found and repaired.

Recommendations/Conclusions

Providing and maintaining adequate water supply in the event of a failure in well #3 and
minimizing leaks are the main concern for the MVWC water system. System operating pressures
are currently maintained at about 58 psi. Immediate construction of a backup well is recommended
to ensure adequate water production for the current and future demands.

reference for development time frame, in 2002 the system serviced approximately 65 connections.
As of 2023 there are about 138 connections and only 3 more connections are expected to be added
in the coming years.
History
Since Falls Water acquired MVWC’s water system in 2021, water quality has exceeded all
applicable state and federal requirements. MVWC’s water system registered number with Idaho
DEQ is: ID7260063.

Current Assets

Current assets of MVWC include three deep wells, a 30' x 32' wood frame pump house, a second
13’x20’ wellhouse, and 2.5 miles of distribution lines. Pump house #1 encloses a 40-gallon air

DEQ Loan
Before it was acquired by Falls Water, MVWC applied for a state-revolving fund loan through the
Idaho DEQ to construct a new well. This well is labeled as well #3 in this report. It was drilled in
August 2014. When MVWC was acquired by Falls Water in 2021, they continued the loan
payment to Idaho DEQ. The original loan started on February 7, 2017, and was $462,969.38. It is
to be paid back at an interest rate of 1.25% semiannually with payments of $9,277.77. Falls Water
has taken responsibility for the loan.
Operations/Administration

Falls Water maintains an office located at 2180 N Deborah Dr, Idaho Falls, ID 83401. The office
handles billings, customer service, complaints, notifications to its customers and correspondence
with DEQ and the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC).

Operations plans include a daily check of the well house with written record keeping of water
pressure, pressure tank air levels, flow rate and flow totalization.
Rates

As shown in the table below, customers pay a flat rate according to the size of the lot being
serviced. One acre lots are charged $65.50/month, one-half acre lot fees are $60.00/month and
quarter acre lots fees are $50.00/month. The first 11,000 gallons used in the first-tier block are
included in the monthly minimum charge. The second-tier usage charge is $0.64 per 1,000 gallons
for the next 22,000 gallons used. For usage above 33,000 gallons, the third-tier rate is $1.439 per
1,000 gallons.

CHAPTER 3 Existing System

The existing MVWC water system includes three wells and approximately 11,000 feet of six-inch
diameter class 200 PVC water main. 2,300 feet of four-inch diameter, class 200 PVC is also
included on the system. A map of the system and its features is shown in Appendix A:
Maps.

The current service area for the MVWC includes 109 acres located in the Morning View Acres
Divisions 1, 2, 3, and 4. Division No. 1 of Country Grove Estates Mobile Home Subdivision is
also included in the system. There are currently 138 connections to single family residences.
Residences include site constructed homes (stick built), mobile trailer homes, and manufactured
homes on permanent foundations.

Lot sizes range from one quarter of an acre to just over one acre in area. The smaller lots are
typically occupied by either mobile trailer houses or manufactured homes. Stick built single family
residences generally occupy the larger lots.

Future growth within the existing service area boundary will include water service connections to
3 lots in the stick-built divisions. This will make a total of 141 individual connections to the system.
It is estimated that the system will be fully developed within the next three years.

Supply

Well 1 – Prior to drilling Well #3, this well was the main production well for the MVWC water
system. Well #1 is a 12-inch diameter well and is approximately 120' deep. The well is located on
“well lot #1” at the northwest corner of Division No. 3. The well lot comprises 1.64 acres. The
well log shows it was completed in July 1996 and is cased to a depth of 118 feet. This well has
not been pump tested and the actual well capacity is unknown. Currently a 30-horsepower
submersible pump is installed in the well. This well is currently used only as a backup well as it
discharges too much sand and is not deep enough into the earth to be a functioning production
well. Aspen Engineering recommends that this well be abandoned, after construction of the
replacement well.

Well 2 - The old backup well is a six-inch diameter well that is 120 feet deep. According to the
well log, this well has a surface seal 18 feet deep and was constructed in June 1986. No pump test
data is available and a 10 horsepower submersible pump services the well. This well does not
produce enough water to be a significant resource and is only used as an emergency source.

Well 3 - The main well for the MVWC water system is a 12-inch diameter well approximately
176' deep. The well is located on “well lot” at the southwest corner of Block No. 3. The second
well lot comprises 0.354 acres. The well log for this well shows it was completed in August 2014
and is cased to a depth of 154 feet. This well has been pump tested and the actual well capacity is
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 10

940 gpm. Currently a 60-horsepower submersible pump is installed in the well.

Wells 1 and 2 feed into a single pump house via separate pitless adapters and buried six-inch
diameter pipes. Wells 1 and 2 are both equipped with ABB VFD pump controllers.

Well 3 and well house 2 are located on the south-west well lot of morning view acres #4. Well 3
is equipped with an ABB brand VFD pump controller. The well house is 13’x20’, has a 6” pipe
system, and contains a backup generator.

Water quantities are monitored using a totalizer/flow meter located in each pump house. The
meters read the instantaneous flow through the meter as well as providing the total quantity passing
the meter (totalizer). Wells 1 and 2 were run through a single meter, Well 3 has its own meter,
and after abandoning Wells 1 and 2, Well 4 will use that meter. After this upgrade each operating
well will have its own meter. The water quality of well #3 currently meets drinking water
regulations. Chapter 7 includes dialog of compliance with drinking water regulations.

Treatment

Well 3 doesn’t require any treatment. For wells 1 and 2 the only treatment currently in operation
is to separate sand from the well production water. The sand separator consists of a centrifugal
type separator with raw water being fed into the unit, centrifugal action then separates the heavier
sand particles which fall to the bottom of the unit and treated water is returned to the top of the
unit and put into the distribution system. The unit operates manually, and the only maintenance
required is to purge the solids from the bottom chamber of the unit on a periodic basis. A
determination of how often this is required can be made by flushing the solids into a bucket and
then measuring the amount of sand produced per unit of water. It is likely the unit will operate at
peak efficiency with only weekly or bi-weekly purging. No other treatment or treatment
equipment is provided or necessary.

For emergency circumstances manual dosing of the individual wells would be required to treat a
bacteriological outbreak, should one occur. The water company may want to purchase an
emergency chlorination system to provide emergency disinfection capabilities.

Pressure Zone

The entire system is served by a single pressure zone. System pressures throughout the
development are established by the VFD setting at each of the pump house buildings. The pressure
settings have been adjusted to operate near 58 psi. This pressure is measured at the pump building
and customer pressures at the point of use will vary due to friction losses and the variation in
demand especially during peak demand hours. The pressure settings at the pump building can be
adjusted to provide a two-pound differential.
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 11

Based on the information obtained from pressure monitoring, the system consistently operates
above the minimum pressure of 40 psi.

The current system includes variable frequency drives (VFD) that are installed in the pump house
for each of the submersible well pumps. Each VFD can be set to maintain 60 psi and so long as
the pumps can keep up with demand, operating pressures currently remain constant within plus or
minus 3-4 psi.

Standby Power

Currently there is standby power or emergency power generation equipment at the MVWC system
for the main well #3 in use. The proposed backup well should also have standby power in the event
of an area wide power failure.

It was estimated by MVWC personnel that power outages account for system shutdown 3-4 times
per year. Typically, outages occur during strong weather events such as high winds or heavy
thunder showers.
Storage

There are currently two Xtrol 350 bladder tanks in well house #1. However, these two tanks are
required for proper operation of the VFDs, do not provide a significant amount of storage, and are
not available as storage for customer needs. There are no plans for water storage at MVWC.

Security

Both existing well houses have fences with barbwire, lighting, and water system alarms. They are
maintained and no issues have been reported. As there have been no issues, there are no
improvements suggested for the security of this system.

Telemetry System

Telemetry at the MVWC water system is a Missions Communications 123 system. The three wells
are operated by electronic pressure transducers located in the pump houses. There are no required
or recommended system controls improvements at the time of this report.

Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 12

Distribution System

Water distribution for the Morning View system includes approximately 11,000 feet of six-inch
pipe and 2,300 feet of 4" pipe. All the pipe consists of class 200 polyvinyl chloride (PVC). A map
of the existing water distribution system, including pipe sizes, is presented in Appendix A:
Maps. Flushing hydrants at the three dead end locations have been installed. There are no fire
hydrants on the system.

Service connections are exclusively one inch and are typically polyethylene. There are seventeen
control valves within the distribution system, four of which are four-inch valves controlling flow
to the two four-inch diameter loops - one at the east end of the system and the other from the two
cul-de-sacs on 3950 East. The maximum number of residents on one continuous, isolatable loop
is at 178 North where there are 32 trailers on one loop. Generally, there are adequate valves to
isolate ten to twelve homes without interrupting the water service to others. Each home is metered,
and the water usage is recorded for each home, clients are then billed accordingly.

Periodic flushing of the dead-ends should be completed. A written plan identifying when each
location is/was flushed and the results of the flushing (i.e. water conditions, turbidity, etc.) should
be included in the operations. Dead end mains should be flushed at least twice per year.

Cross-connection contamination of the distribution system is controlled using backflow prevention
devices, generally consisting of a Pressure Vacuum Breaker (PVB) assembly or other approved
back-flow prevention device. Check devices are required to be inspected and tested after the initial
installation with written verification given to either the owner/operator or the office manager.
Periodic testing of the valves is not currently part of the operation plan and should be implemented.
The cost of testing each device should be charged to the homeowner. Records showing the location
of the device, along with the test date and results should be kept on a master plan at the office.
The proposed cross connection control plan has been submitted to DEQ.

Sewage System

Regarding the sewer system, all homes within MVWC are on private septic systems with
individual drain fields located on each lot. Interference with the water system has not been
experienced and no contamination issues have been reported. Connection to the City of Rigby
sewer collection system could be explored if water quality problems are encountered.

Water Losses

Recently there has been a leak that is being investigated by Falls Water, the parent company of
MVWC, as the water losses have been about 60% during non-irrigation season and about 20%
losses during irrigation season. Due to these significant losses, we recommend using and/or
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 13

obtaining sonar tracking equipment to help with leak detection and repair. The equipment is
portable and could be used at each of the company’s water systems.

CHAPTER 4 Water Requirements

This chapter summarizes the current water system demands and projects future water use for 3 and
20-year planning horizons. This includes a description of historical water use and forecasting
estimates developed to project future water use.

Definition of Terms
Demand

Demand refers to the total system demand, which is that quantity of water obtained from the water
supply source during a given time period required to meet the needs of domestic use, lawn
irrigation, system losses, and miscellaneous applications. Demands are normally discussed and
quantified in terms of flow rates, such as gallons per minute (gpm) or gallons per day (gpd). Flow
rates can be described in any terms involving a given volume of water delivered during a specific
time. Flow rates pertinent for the analysis and design of water systems are as follows:
Average Day Demand (ADD): the total volume of water delivered to the system in a year, divided
by 365 days.
Maximum Month Demand (MMD): the average rate of water delivered to the system during the
month of greatest demand during the year.
Maximum Day Demand (MDD): the rate of water delivered to the system during the day of highest
demand during the year.
Peak Hour Demand (PHD): the rate of water delivered to the system during the hour of highest
demand during the year.
These demands are typically presented in units of mgd. The following conversion factors may be
used to express rate of demand in other terms:
1 mgd = 694 gpm = 1.55 cubic feet per second (cfs)
1 gpm = 60 gallons per hour (gph) = 1,440 gpd
1 cfs = 450 gpm = 0.648 mgd
Volumetric conversions are:
1 cubic foot (cf) = 7.481 gallons (gal)
1 gallon = 0.134 cubic feet (cf)

The concept of per capita demand provides a convenient method of comparing water use by
different water systems or areas served by the system. The per capita demand is obtained by
dividing the total system demand by the total population served. Differences in climate, type of
development, and water use trends influence the per capita demand for different water systems.
Consumption

Consumption refers to the actual volume of water used by customers measured at their connections
to the water distribution system. Consumption is typical1y measured in gallons.
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 15

Peaking Factors

The relationships between the ADD and other demand parameters, such as the MDD, MMD, and
PHD, are expressed as peaking factors. Typical peaking factors include the ratios of MDD to ADD,
MMD to ADD, and PHD to ADD.

Water Production

Available historical water production data is presented in Appendix D:
Water Production Data. The available historical data inc1udes limited readings for both Well 1, 2,
and 3 during the period.

TABLE 4-1 Average Day Demand - ADD for Morning View Water Company

ADD (gallons)

2021

129,926

2022

2023 (year to date)

Based on historical averages from Table 4-1, a MDD (PF MDD) peaking factor of 3.0 will be used
in this study. A value of 5.0 will be used as the PHD peaking factor (PF PHD).

Per Connection Demand

The population serviced by MVWC is approximately 400 people via approximately 138 active
individual connections. Morning View Water Company's historical average daily demand (ADD)
for the years 2022 through 2023 was 124,000 gallons.

Morning View’s customer base is exclusively residential. Given the rather insignificant demand
currently exerted by other uses, future water demand is estimated in this report solely on the
residential growth projected for the area.

“Unaccounted-For” Water

Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 16

“Unaccounted-for” water is the difference between the volume of water produced and the volume
of water sold to customers. Unaccounted-for-water in a metered community is typically the result
of system leakage or unmetered customers.
Demand Projections
Population Projections

Land uses surrounding the MVWC system are generally residential, single-family homes. The
area immediately south of the platted subdivision has been platted and developed as single-family
homes with individual wells. Immediately north is developed land and a public elementary school
that has been connected to city water lines. To the east, the ground has been subdivided into
residential lots, but infrastructure and homes have not been constructed. MVWC is focused on
servicing current customers and the 3 potential connections located within the current service area.
To the west of the trailer home area is some undeveloped land. If it is developed, MVWC would
be interested in supplying their services to the new homes. The possible expansion of the service
area to the east or west would require drilling of a new well. Under the current system layout, it
has been estimated that a maximum additional three stick-built homes may be added to the system
as the remainder of the lots are sold and built on in Divisions one through three of Morning View
Acres. This will increase the total number of connections to 141 for the entire system. No other
growth has been estimated.
Future Water Demands

Currently, the MVWC system accommodates about 400 people via 138 connections. Ultimately
it is conceived that the state average of 2.9 people per connection will be served via the same 138
connections plus 3 more lots in the stick-built homes making a total of 141 connections and 409
people. It is anticipated that the 3 additional lots will be built out by the end of the year in 2026 -
three years from now. Producing the following results which are expected to stay the same over
the coming years:

Current Estimated
ADD = 124,000 gpd
MDD = 399,200 gpd
PHD = 496,000 gpd

While these projected water demands provide a basis for planning purposes and are used in other
portions of this report, they must be considered estimates. If growth from outside development is
allowed, then significant increases from the predicted annual rates will occur and demands will be
much higher than predicted. Unit demand patterns may also change, and these patterns would
influence water needs for the community. Therefore, the projected demands should be compared
each year to actual demands. The timing for recommended improvements can then be adjusted as
needed.

CHAPTER 5 Water Supply and Storage

Topics covered in this chapter include water rights, and anticipated water supply and storage needs.

Water Rights

Table 5-1 contains water rights information for the MVWC. Refer to Appendix B:
Water Right for a copy of the current water rights information. A water right permit is the
authorization necessary from the Idaho Department of Water Resources (IDWR) to begin
construction of withdrawal facilities and begin using water. A license is only issued once water
has been used and documentation of use is submitted and approved by IDWR. A water rights
permit does not guarantee water for the appropriator. A decreed right is a water right that has been
adjudicated by the court. Under the prior-appropriation doctrine, the water right authorizes
diversions of water only to the extent that water is available.

Water Supply and Storage Requirements

Currently there is no storage provided in the MVWC system. Wells #1 and #2 are no longer
functioning, and well #3 is providing flow to the community. A new backup well is needed.
Water Supply Criteria

The following is a list of key criteria outlined in the Idaho Rules for Public Drinking Water
Systems used to determine the timing and development of new water supply wells, storage, and
emergency power generation capability for the MVWC water system.
• The water system must have a sufficient number of water supply wells with backup power
to satisfy ADD or emergency storage equal to one days ADD.
• The water system must have enough firm pumping capacity to satisfy MDD.
• Firm pumping capacity combined with additional storage must be sufficient to supply Peak
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 18

Hour Demand.
• Total system capacity including supply and storage must be sufficient to meet MDD while
maintaining a 40-psi residual throughout the system.

In this report, firm pumping capacity is defined as the production capacity of the water supply
wells in the system with the largest well out of service.
This chapter explores these criteria using the water demand projections listed above, to determine
the capital improvements needed for the water system during the 3-year and 20-year plan horizons.

Criterion 1: Firm Well Production Capacity Required to Satisfy MDD
The first criterion involving MDD during the 20-year planning period is used to determine well
supply requirements for the Morning View water system.
The current well pumping capacity totals approximately 940 gpm or 1,353,600 gpd. However, if
a malfunction of well #3 occurs which solely produces this water occurs, no water will be
produced. So, a backup well needs to be implemented.

Criterion 1 Summary: Anticipated Firm Capacity Requirements to Satisfy MDD

The Company will need to construct a new backup well immediately with a capacity of nearly 600
gpm like Well #3.

Criterion 2: Emergency Power Required to Satisfy ADD

The second criterion involving ADD is used as a means of determining the emergency power
requirements for the MVWC water system.
A comparison of the available supply capacity of Well 3 (720,000 gpd), which is equipped with
backup power, shows that the MVWC water system currently does not have backup power to
supply ADD requirements now or for the projected 20-year horizon. An option to include backup
power for the new well #4 could be beneficial.

Criterion 2 Summary: Anticipated Emergency Power Requirements

Emergency backup power is necessary to maintain the required minimum 20 psi. Idaho DEQ
requires substantial sampling if a loss of pressure event occurs. Loss of pressure is defined by
DEQ as any pressure less than 20 psi under emergency operations and less than 40 psi under
normal operating conditions.

Criterion 3 Well Capacity and Storage Must Satisfy PHD
The following is a list of assumptions that are used to calculate required well capacity and storage
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 19

volume required under these criteria:

• The PHD must be supplied for up to 8 hours.
• Firm well capacity is not less than MDD.

Well 3 has adequate capacity to meet current demand, but a backup well is needed immediately.
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 20

CHAPTER 6 Distribution

This chapter describes the capacity of MVWC's water distribution system. The distribution system
was evaluated under existing and future conditions.

Regulations

The Idaho DEQ has regulatory authority over public water systems in Idaho. In general, DEQ's
rules govern the quality of water distributed, but not the manner in which it is distributed. However,
the rules do contain basic construction standards and some of these apply to distribution systems.

Significant rules for the distribution system analysis are summarized as follows:

• Distribution piping and the supply system shall be designed and installed so that the
pressure measured shall not be reduced below 40 pounds per square inch (psi) during
maximum hourly demand conditions.

• Distribution piping and the supply system shall be designed and installed so that the
pressure measured shall not be reduced below 20 pounds per square inch (psi) during
maximum hourly demand conditions (including fire flow).

• Wherever possible, dead ends shall be minimized by looping. Where dead ends are
installed, blow-offs of adequate size shall be provided for flushing.

• Wherever possible, booster pumps shall take suction from reservoirs to avoid the potential
for negative pressures on the suction line, which could result when the pump suction is
directly connected to a distribution main. Pumps that take suction from distribution mains
shall be provided with a low-pressure cutoff switch on the suction side set at no less than
5 psi.

Peak Hour Demand Under Normal Operating Conditions

The PHD condition represents the average demand rate during the highest hour of water use for
the entire year. This is an extreme condition, but one that the system must be able to supply. Since
PHD has been estimated according to projected growth, the actual occurrence in the system may
be higher. It is also true that demands greater than MDD and approaching the peak hour value will
occur several times during a year.
The estimated 2023 PHD for the system is 496,000 gpd. PHD can be provided in the system with
adequate pressures (Adequate means that pressures are maintained above 40 psi). Pressures under
the current PHD can be maintained above 40 psi. As water demand increases under peak
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 21

conditions, pipeline velocity can begin to be a problem; however, no pipes in the system exhibited
velocities significantly greater than 4 fps. In summary, no deficiencies were identified under the
current PHD.

Maximum Day Demand Under Normal Operating Conditions

The MDD condition represents the average demand rate over the highest day of water use during
the entire year. The water system must be designed to equal or exceed the MDD on a firm capacity
basis. When MDD is modeled under normal operating conditions, the distribution system can
provide water at adequate pressures.
The estimated MDD for 2023 is 399,200 gpd. No pipeline velocities greater than 4 fps were
identified and system pressures should remain above 40 psi.

Current System Evaluation

Based on the information given by the operator and observation at the pump building the system
appears to be capable of producing the required flow at adequate pressures. It is recommended to
monitor pressures for any location experiencing low pressure again during the 2023 irrigation
season.

Well Design

Information about well #4 and its design will be included in a future document about the design of
well #4.

Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 22

CHAPTER 7 Water Quality and Regulations

This chapter includes relevant water quality regulation information for MVWC’s reference, with
an accompanying description of how pertinent regulations affect the administration and operation
of the system. Surface water regulations are not discussed, as it is not anticipated that Morning
View will be utilizing surface water to meet current or future demands. The nearest surface water
body is an irrigation canal located south of Morning View about 1,170 ft. In addition, there is no
expectation that this improvement will affect the watershed or other water cycle operations.

As discussed in previous chapters, the water system relies solely on groundwater as its source of
water. Generally, the quality of the groundwater is good, meeting current Federal- and State-
established regulatory limits for inorganic chemicals (lOCs), synthetic organic compounds
(SOCs), volatile organic chemical (VOCs), lead and copper, co1iform, arsenic, and fluoride.

We will screen the new well, so the use of a sand separator is not anticipated.

Potential Contamination

As seen in Figure 1 Nitrate Area's and in Figure 2 Nitrate Impacted Wells there are no causes of
concern for contamination currently. Historically there are no causes for concern either. The area
around all wells is fenced in and exceeds requirements by code.

Figure 1 Nitrate Area's

Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 23

Figure 2 Nitrate Impacted Wells

It can be seen from Figure 3 Recorded Testing of Contaminants that there have been no reported
issues with contaminants in the last few years. These tables were taken from Idaho DEQ’s
website “Drinking Water Branch”. MVWC’s ID number in the record is: ID7260063. MVWC is
in compliance with all drinking water requirements.

Figure 3 Recorded Testing of Contaminants

Potential Flooding
For all wells the well casing extends 12” above ground elevation supporting IDAPA rules. If
there is a flood of greater magnitude, there would be issues.
Morning View Water Company Aspen Eng Job Number 2023.034
PER & Facility Plan Page 24

Groundwater Analysis

The purpose of this section is to show that the groundwater and geographically related areas have
been considered.

Ground Water Levels
As seen in Appendix C:
Well Logs, the static water level for the well currently in use (Well #3) is 20 ft below the ground.
As there are no subsurface structures the water elevation was found to be 4840 ft.

Soil Conditions

The soil is an alluvial deposited gravel, it is suitable for building on, and there are no concerns
from Aspen Engineering regarding the soil at MVWC for construction purposes.

CHAPTER 8 Capital Improvement Program

Recommended improvements from previous chapters are shown below and summarized in this
chapter, along with estimates of costs.

Cost Estimating

Cost estimates for proposed improvements presented are Order-of-Magnitude cost estimates. The
American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) defines Order-of-Magnitude cost estimates as
estimates made without detailed engineering data. These estimates may be developed using cost
curves, scale-up or scale-down factors, or an approximate ratio. AACE defines the accuracy for
this level of estimate as plus 50 percent to minus 30 percent.

The cost estimates presented below have been prepared for guidance in project evaluation and
implementation from the information available at the time of the estimate. The final costs of the
project will depend on actual labor and material costs, competitive market conditions, final project
costs, implementation schedule and other variable factors. As a result, the final project costs will
vary from the estimate presented herein. Because of this, project feasibility and funding needs must
be carefully reviewed prior to making specific financial decisions to help ensure proper project
evaluation and adequate funding.

Drill Water Supply Well

The cost to drill a new well assumes 12-inch diameter open hole production wel1 240 feet deep.
The estimate includes costs for a pilot hole and final production well, and assumes the Company
owns the well lot. A 30 percent allowance for contingency, engineering, administration, and legal
cost is included in the estimate. The estimated cost to drill a new water supply well is $23,000.

Backup Power Generator

Natural gas or diesel generated power to run the submersible pump and controller at the pump
building will require an 80 to 100 KW generator. Anticipated cost for purchase and installation of
the generator including concrete pad and weather enclosure is $50,000.

Schedule

The anticipated construction schedule will be based on obtaining adequate funding. The time
frame begins when funding is implemented with the following milestones:

• 45-60 days complete design.
• 20-30 days DEQ review of design
• 7-15 days Comment Resolution
• 15-28 days contractor bidding process
• 30-45 days drilling of new well
• 7-10 days well testing (well capacity pumping test)
• 7-10 days set pump/electrical connection
