Title
Approval of Changes to the Department of Public Utilities Rules & Regulations - Fee Schedule
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities Approve the changes to the Department of Public Utilities Rules & Regulations - Fee Schedule
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
The Department of Public Utilities Rules & Regulations - Fee Schedule was last updated on July 20, 2022. Most of the fees associated with new service installations for the gas, water and electric utilities are being raised. The primary reason for the increases are due to increased staff salaries and materials cost inflation since July 2022. All gas work on steel gas systems are now going to be estimated costs at the time of service due to the need to contract the work out and the difficulty of establish accurate fixed fees. The service work which includes cutting and patching asphalt are being raised due to the current high price to patch asphalt.
