Lewis County PUD will hold two public hearings on 2022 rates. The PUD will host these hearings virtually using Zoom, an Internet-based video conferencing solution.

“Despite the challenges of holding in-person meetings during the pandemic, the PUD strongly encourages public participation in these hearings,” said Tim Cournyer, President of the PUD Board of Commissioners.

The overall utility-wide rate increase is proposed to be less than 1%. Details of the proposed changes for each customer classification will be posted to the PUD website at www.lcpud.org in advance of the first rate hearing on October 5, 2021.

• 1^st Rate Hearing: Tuesday, October 5, 2021 @ 10:00 a.m.
