The Benton PUD is proposing raising rates an average of 6 percent starting Jan. 1.
However, rate increases in 2013 through 2015 should average less than expected a year ago at 1 percent to 3 percent a year, according to information presented at a lightly attended Benton PUD meeting in Kennewick on Tuesday evening.
The rate increase for residential customers in 2012 would be slightly lower than the average for all customers at 5.4 percent. That would increase the average bill of a residential customer from about $101 a month to about $106 a month.
