On September 29, 2022, the RPU Utility Board directed staff to give public notice of the proposed increase to general electric rates by 2.5 % (3.5% for Residential) and to general water rates by 5% for 2023 in the paper of record. Changes in the electric rates will result in an average monthly increase of $2.27 for the average residential electric customer. Changes in the water rates will result in an increase of $ .74 for the average residential water customer. The table below includes the actual changes by rate. The proposed rates will also be available on the RPU website (www.rpu.org) and by calling RPU customer service (507.280.1500). Public comment on the proposed rates will be taken at the October 25, 2022, and November 29, 2022 RPU Board Meetings prior to the Board voting on the proposed budget and rate increase. If approved, the Board will recommend approval by the City Council on December 5, 2022. Please contact Tony Benson at 507-280-1534 or email at tbenson@rpu.org.
