During a December 20th public hearing, Lassen Municipal Utility District’s Board of Directors approved a one and a half cent increase to the district’s kilowatt hour charge.
This is in addition to a half-cent increase that was approved at the November 22nd board meeting.
“The first increase went into effect with the December billing, the second increase will go into effect with the January billing. The total rate increase, two cents, brings LMUD’s residential rate to sixteen cents per kilowatt-hour,” explains LMUD Public Relations Manager Theresa Phillips.
“Typically, LMUD’s average customer uses about 800 to 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month, however, with recent extreme cold, usage has been higher. If you are experiencing a higher-than-normal bill, please reach out to our customer service department, we may be able to assist you with payment arrangements, or financial aid, depending on your circumstances.”
The rate increases apply to all rate classes. You can view LMUD’s rate schedules at www.lmud.org and click on the “Rates” tab at the top of the homepage.
For questions on how this rate increase may affect you, please call LMUD at 530-257-4174.
