On March 26, 2008, Island Park Water Company, Inc. (Island Park; Company) filed
an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) requesting a 224%
increase in rates, from $125 per year to $280 per year. Island Park is a regulated water utility

Island Park is comprised of seven separate water systems located in Fremont County, Idaho. The
Company currently has 310 customers. The Company s billing cycle is annual, from June 1 to
