Minimum Monthly Bill — Customer
Service Charge, plus billing demand.
A demand meter may be installed by
the City when the customer's demand is believed to exceed 25 kW. A demand meter shall be required for at
least 12 months for customer's having metered demand of 100 kW or more.
Power Factor Adjustment:
For loads of 100 kW or more, or at the option of the City for loads of
less than 100 kW, power factor adjustments will be made in the billing demand,
when the power factor, as determined by test, at the time of the customer's
maximum use is less than 90%. If the
power factor, as measured by the electric department, is lower than 90%, the
monthly demand charge will be multiplied by the ratio 90% bears to the measured
power factor, or at the City's option, the power factor may be corrected at the
customer's expense. The adjusted
measured demand then becomes a billing demand.
The billing demand for any month shall be the adjusted measured demand,
but not less than 60% of the highest adjusted measured demand during the
preceding 11 month period.
*Effective for bills received in July, August, September, and October.

POWER COST ADJUSTMENT (PCA)
There shall be added to or
subtracted from each customer's bill an amount equal to the number of KWH of
energy consumed by the customer during the billing period multiplied by the PCA
factor. The PCA factor shall be based
upon the PCA included in the City's most recent invoice for wholesale services
from NPPD.

DUSK TO DAWN LIGHTING
Applicable
to private, outdoor lighting service to customers taking service when the
lighting facilities are installed and operated as an extension of the City's
electric distribution system, except where, in the judgment of the City,
service is impractical. Service under
this rate is unmetered and the luminaries operate automatically each night from
dusk to dawn. All facilities necessary
for service under this schedule are installed, owned, and maintained by the
City. The customer, however, is
responsible for the cost of replacing any parts of the facilities damaged by
vandalism. Contact the Office of the
City Clerk for lamp sizes and current monthly rates.

PROMPT PAYMENT
The net monthly bill applies when
payment is made on or before the due date.
The discount is computed by multiplying the gross by .09091. The net
amount is then computed by subtracting the discount from the gross amount.
Unless bills are mailed late due to
City Office delays, the customer pays for utility service on the 10th day of
the month following the date on which a customer's bill is computed, after
which date the bill is delinquent, and the gross monthly bill applies. If the 10th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday,
or holiday, the deadline for payment within the discount period is extended to
the next working day.
If the customer is away from home or
indisposed, and prior notice is given to the City of the reason for payment
delay, the net rate may remain in effect for a reasonable time until the
customer can make payment.
The City can provide customers with
automatic deductions from checking accounts at the net rate.

UTILITY DEPOSIT
Each new customer is required to
make a service deposit when applying for utility services. For all residential customers, the electric
deposit is $125; the water deposit is $50 ($100 for rural customers); and the
sewer deposit is $50. For commercial or
non-residential customers, a total utility service deposit of not less than the
one-month average of the total 90 day billing for the same or comparable
non-residential customer during July, August, & September of the preceding
year shall be required, but no less than the total of the minimum residential
deposits. If a customer maintains a
record of prompt payment for approximately 24 consecutive months, the deposit
is applied as a credit to his/her utility account.
Back
to top
RECONNECTION
If a customer whose service has been
disconnected, either by his order or by reason of delinquency, requests a
reconnection of such service within 12 months of the time of disconnection, a
reconnection charge equal to the sum of the monthly minimum charges for the
period of disconnection is to be collected.
The minimum reconnection charge is equal to the sum of three months
minimum charges.
