The rates at RPU have really gone UP the last few years.
Not only the rates, but also the misc. fees: now on top of the actual utility, there is a Customer Charge, and a Reliability Charge on top of that as well!
On my last bill, the charge for the actual water itself was only 65% of the Customer Charge. That seems like the equivalent of raising the water rates 250% !!
Same with the electricity rates: used to be the base rate was about 8c per kilowatt hour. Now the rates start at above 10c (so the rate was raised 20+% just for starters), then above 350 kw of usage, the rate used to go up a small amount, but now it jumps straight to 16.46c per kw hour. Thats a 63% jump. Then a customer charge has been tacked on, then a Reliability charge tacked on top of that.
Talk about a lot of BS on top of a lot of BS!
All of that is even before the dramatically raised fees for trash and sewer
Whats going on here??
