(CENTRALIA,
WA) – The Centralia City Council on Tuesday approved rate increases for
Centralia City Light customers.
City Light Manager M.L. Norton says the
increase is 4.8 percent a year for the next three years. He says customers
within the city limits will see the basic monthly charge increase by $4 dollars
a month each of the next three years. The energy charge per kilowatt-hours will
also increase slightly.
Norton says the driving force behind the increase is
the ongoing increase in the rates the Bonneville Power Administration charges
for electricity. The first increase takes effect with the August billing.
