(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Public Works has approved a one-half percent increase in electrical rates for BPW customers for 2022.
BPW General Manager Dave Hunter said the increase is needed due to increased costs in supplies and shipping surcharges being implemented by vendors.
The rate will be in effect as of February 23.
This is the first increase in electrical rates for Auburn BPW customers since 2015.
Customers water fees will be increasing five percent. That increase was approved following last year's water rate study.
In other business during the Boards January meeting, a quote from Layne Western out of Valley to drill three test holes and complete pumping to locate a viable well was approved at a cost of $23,614. The lat time a new well was installed was in 2003.
