United Water is a global multinational, owned by Suez, in France. We are its customers. Here is what I wrote to the Public Utilities Commission:
United Water has a huge nerve asking the PUC for a huge million bucks+ raise to cover the costs of converting to monthly billing. What an insult to ratepayers. We already pay extremely high rates for water here, partly because United Water is a multinational company with HQ in France, for god's sake. They have no interest in US customers except as a money raising machine.
It is up to Idaho's PUC to properly regulate such a utility in the interest of its citizen-customers, and not let UW charge customers for what the company should pay for itself--monthly billing!! With current computer tech, it is not going to cost UW over a mil to do this, and anyway even if it did, they should not be allowed to bilk Idaho customers for their stupid billing schedule. There is NO GENUINE NEED for this move! I see this move as just another way to bilk us customers.

Please folks--send a comment to the Idaho PUC, here: ed.howell@puc.idaho.gov
