BURBANK : Council OKs New Electricity Rates
- Share via
The City Council has voted to adopt new electricity rates that reward customers who conserve electricity and punish heavy users.
Under the new rate structure adopted Tuesday night, about 70% of the city’s residents would see their electric bills decrease by an average of $1.50 a month, said Ronald Stassi, general manager of the public service department in a report to the council.
Those who use less than 530 kilowatts per month will receive a discount, but those who use more than that will see sharp increases.
The money lost by the discount will be offset by the steeper fees for heavy users, Stassi said.
The new rates will take effect Oct. 1.
