Energy bills to rise 5.8% next month in Snohomish County

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

EVERETT — Expect to pay a bit more on your energy bill starting in April.

This month, the Snohomish County Public Utility District’s Board of Commissioners approved a 5.8% rate increase to make up for higher costs and financial challenges in the energy industry.

For the average residential customer, that might look like an extra $6 per month on their bill, according to the PUD. The base rate charge will increase from 35 cents per day to 59 cents for residential customers.

For the average small business, the adjustment could add an extra $10 to the monthly bill.
