Electric Rate Increase Effective April 1, 2015
April 2, 2015

The 2015 PUD budget was approved by PUD Commissioners on December 15, 2014. The budget is predicated on the following rate increases: electric retail rate increase of 3.5% effective on all bills rendered on or after April 1, 2015; a 6% retail water rate increase effective on all bills rendered on or after January 1, 2015; and, a 6% sewer rate increase effective on all bills rendered on or after January 1, 2015.

For electric utility customers, a 3.5% increase in retail electric utility rates amounts to an increase of approximately $3.35 per month for the average PUD residential customer, using 1200 kWh per month. For water utility customers, a 6.0% rate increase will result in approximately $2.50 more per month on the average bill. Sewer customers will see an increase of approximately $2.40 per month on their average bill.

For additional information about the rate increases please see the December 5, 2014 media release.
