The Nevada Public Utilities Commission denied a request by Nevada Energy to raise electric rates by 3.2 percent. If anything, officials said rates for consumers will go down almost $3.00 a month. See R-J story here.
Now, the bad news...your water rates are headed up.
Says the R-J:
...the Southern Nevada Water Authority will raise rates over the next two years to help bolster its construction activities.
On Jan. 1, the authority will double its commodity charge to 20 cents per 1,000 gallons of water used, then increase it by another 10 cents per 1,000 gallons on Jan. 1, 2011.
Water authority board members approved the rate hikes in a unanimous vote Thursday.******************
Each 10-cent increase amounts to a 3.2 percent rate hike for valley water customers.
The average single-family home served by the Las Vegas Valley Water District can expect to see its monthly water bill go up about $1 next year, said Dick Wimmer, deputy general manager for the water authority.
You win some, you lose some...
