Guess What??!! The Cost of Something Is NOT Going UP!!

Thank you for your patience throughout the ongoing outdoor water ban. As many of you know, drought conditions have affected our region for much of the last year. According to the latest Rhode Island drought maps, 99% of the state is still classified as “abnormally dry.”

However, after closely monitoring our water production and remediating several wells, CREW is implementing a change in restrictions to allow some outdoor water use. Effective immediately, we will be moving from a full outdoor water ban to an even/odd day watering schedule.

What does this mean?

  • Even-numbered addresses may water outdoors on even-numbered days of the month.
  • Odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on odd-numbered days of the month.


This change is a balance between conserving water and providing some relief to our customers. We will continue to monitor the drought conditions, and if rainfall improves, we will reevaluate and aim to lift the outdoor water ban completely.

We appreciate your understanding and continued efforts in conserving water during these challenging times.

Pascoag Utility District Electric Rates to remain stable for the rest of 2008….

 

At the July 31st Open Meeting of the RI Public Utilities Commission, Pascoag Utility District’s request to not increase electric rates, for the remainder of 2008, was approved.

 

Several portions of the electric bill were adjusted to more accurately reflect the various charges incurred by PUD. However, the bottom line remains the same!

 

That means that a residential customer using 500 kilowatt-hours in a billing period will continue to pay approximately $71. This is the lowest cost for electricity in our state.

 

By comparison, a National Grid customer, using the same amount of electricity, would pay approximately $93.

 

The best way, of course, to lower your electric bill is to not use our product!

 

One way of helping you do this, is to take advantage of our FREE home energy audits.

 

When it is time to replace an electric appliance, always look for the Energy Star logo. Depending on funding availability, the price of the more energy efficient appliance is offset by Pascoag Utility District Rebates.
