As Elk River Public Utility District prepares to wrap up FY2015 and pass its FY2016 budget, general manager Mike Gundersen says that gas customers can expect fiscal-year-end rebates again this year and no rate increases for the year to come.
In fact, the rebate amount will effectively credit customers for two month’s service charges, returning approximately $400,000 to its customers.
Residential customers, who pay between $9 and $12 each month depending on service, will see their bills drop by $18 and $24 respectively in June.
Industrial processing customers are most likely to notice the rebate without any such notation. Those customers, who pay a minimum $200 charge each month, will see a $400 drop in June.
Large commercial customers, who pay a minimum $50 charge each month, will notice a $100 drop in June.
The last rate increase ERPUD came four years ago in July 2012.
