Not (quite) as romantic as a dozen roses…

posted in

This Valentine’s Day we are focusing on the Rate Stabilization Fund (get excited)! It might not be as romantic as a dozen roses, but it is very important for our customers. The Rate Stabilization Fund is one of the ways we keep our costs as low as possible. We do this so that increased expenses or drops in revenue aren’t always passed directly on to our customers and our rate adjustments can be kept lower. One of our goals over the time period covered by our new rate schedule is to build up the Rate Stabilization Fund. Considering the weather we have had lately and the pressure it puts on our infrastructure, ours is more literally a “rainy day fund” than similar accounts kept by any other government or private sector entity. Happy Valentine's Day!
