Council Passes Electric Rate Ordinance
The city council approved a new domestic electric rate ordinance on final reading to take effect March 1. Rates use a three tier schedule of 1 2 3 and 2 cents per kilowatt hour, totaling about a 10 percent cut for the average user. Councilman George Stevens said the committee studied the rates and Flyria is getting a good deal under the 25 year franchise, with 10 years left, so the adjustment reflects rate change rather than shopping for cheaper service.
