Water and Light Rates Under Review: TONIGHT; Any approved change would be effective Sept 2006?

(Ed note. This is in response to my inquiry about when the last increase had been and what the future looked like for rates.)


Dick:


I am not aware of any increase in our utility rates as of Jan. 1, 2005. Our utility rates have not changed in many years. We have received draft studies of electric and water rate increases we would be justified in requesting. We have to go through a review process by the state Public Services Commissions to increase our rates. The rate increase are likely to take effect in Sept. or Oct. 2006. The city will publish information about the proposed rate increases at some point in the future. The draft studies will be discussed at tonight's Water & Light Committee meeting at 6:30 PM at the Water & Light garage on Old 92.
