Rates and Policies

Rate Plan Approved

On Nov. 18th, the commissioners approved a two-year extension of the current rate plan to address the rising costs of providing essential services. The approved adjustments include:

  • 3% increase in electric rates
  • 4% increase in water rates
  • 4% increase in wastewater rates

These adjustments will take effect in June 2025 and June 2026.

On average, residential electric customers can expect an increase of approximately $2 per month, while residential water and wastewater customers will see an additional $3-4 per month on their bills. 

The board will continue to evaluate long-term rate planning as part of the utility's strategic visioning process and ongoing policy development.
