Grant PUD customers will be seeing a bump in their electricity rates this year. At their Monday night meeting, Grant PUD Commissioners announced a two percent hike in rates for local customers. They estimate that the average residential household will see an increase of about $1.41 per month on their bill. Prices will go into effect April 1st and raise about $3 million for the PUD. Commission President Larry Schaapman said in a statement, "Customers rely on us to power their way of life. These smaller, more predictable increases ensure we are there when they need us."
