Garden City cuts residential electric charge by $3
Garden City commissioners unanimously approved reducing the monthly base charge from 22.50 to 19.50 for about 10 000 residential customers. The cut to January lowers annual electric revenue by about 353000 while keeping rates per hour unchanged. The move aims for equal savings but raises concerns about electric reserve funds and future substation investment.
