Kaplan electricity billing restructured, rates not increasing
Contrary to rumors circulating on social media about utility rate increases, Kaplan Councilwoman and Utility Committee Chairman Melissa Guidry stated, “This is simply not the case.
“To set the record straight, the city of Kaplan is not increasing electrical rates by 12%.”
According to Guidry, the proposal reflects an increase to water, sewer and gas rates only.
The city has consistently lost revenue from these services. It is costing the city more to provide the services than the charges being collected.
