MID, TID facing tough rules, growing fuel costs

More rate hikes for MID and TID customers?  Central Valley residents receiving electrical service from Modesto Irrigation District or Turlock Irrigation District may soon get a shock along with their electric bill.  Both electric service providers are proposing 12-20% rate increases for 2009.  The situation has prompted public hearings to be scheduled for both districts.

MID will be holding a public hearing on Tuesday, November 4, on the proposal which will raise residential rates 15 percent and business rates 12.5 percent to 20 percent.  TID will also be holding a public hearing, on November 25, on a proposal that will raise residential rates by 13% and commercial and industrial rates by as much as 20%.
