(Chehalis, WA) -- Lewis County PUD Commissioners voted Tuesday to approve raising rates by an average of 8.4 percent. PUD General Manager Dan Kay says it raises the base charge by 20 cents per day and the rest is on the customer’s monthly usage.
Kay says the average residential customer will see their bill increase by just under $11 per month. He says a major factor in the rate increase is increases imposed on the District from the Bonneville Power Administration.
The rate increase is effective April 1. Lewis County PUD is a not-for-profit, customer-owned public utility.
