Bowie Hikes City Electric Rates For First Time Since 1945
Bowie City Council approved an eight to forty cent monthly rate increase for residential electric service effective January 1. An average eight percent rise results from a prolonged eight month rate study prompted by a 13 percent power cost hike to Texas Electric Service Company, with the city absorbing about $13,000 in higher power costs. The measure aims to raise about $21,000 in city revenue, with the maximum residential bill up 40 cents monthly.
