Iowa Public Service to Raise Electric Rates Nov. 2
The Iowa Public Service Company will raise electric rates by one to five mills starting November 2 as inflation drives costs higher. Manager W. O. Luther cited payroll, fuel, copper, and taxes increases since 1945 and said about eight percent more revenue is expected, with daily home costs up roughly one cent. The company aims to fund new equipment and meet rising demand while hoping inflation cools and rates can be reduced in the future.
