Staff recommends accepting Public Utility Commission default rates; council to take default position
Summary
Staff summarized PUC preferred/default rate notices for 2025 (residential $1.93; nonresidential $4.33; point $6.52) and recommended accepting defaults if the town will not submit custom rates; the council discussed and indicated they historically take default rates.
Staff walked council members through the Public Utility Commission's 2025 preferred and default rate tables and advised the town that, if it does not act, PUC default rates will apply. The packet listed preferred rates (residential $1.93, non-residential $4.33, point $6.52) and default rates slightly different; staff said the town has typically accepted defaults in prior years.
Council members questioned whether the town could change the rates and were told the carrier/PUC process largely determines the figures; a member moved to take the section two default rate, and the council proceeded with the administrative action consistent with past practice.
