The City Council recently approved changes to the electric rates.
July 15, 2025 (Ordinance 1513): Residential rates were targeted to increase by 10% overall. The monthly meter fee (now called the “debt fee”) rose from $12 to $25. Electricity usage rates were raised from $0.1400 to $0.1540 per kilowatt-hour (kWh).
August 19, 2025 (Ordinance 1517): The Council corrected a discrepancy in the earlier rate calculation. The debt fee remains $25 per meter, but the usage rate is adjusted to $0.1411/kWh. This ensures residential rate customers are only charged the intended 10% revenue increase and returns the extra amount collected in July over the remainder of 2025.
We appreciate your understanding as these adjustments are made to keep the electric utility financially stable.
Work was delayed due to rain and storms; crews will be in town through the week of August 18th.
