News flash:

In the last week city hall staff and myself have received a lot of phone calls about the Energy Cost Adjustment (ECA) that is on your city bill. Rumors that the ECA is only on Vinton Park Apartments bills is totally unfounded. The ECA appears on all of our electric customer bills including my own. Rumors that the ECA has been caused by the flood are totally unfounded also. If you click on the "Energy Cost Adjustment" link above, you can get a detailed explanation about our rates and the ECA. We could eliminate the ECA and set our rate to reflect today's cost, spend money on publication of the rates and then next month spend money to change publications again. The ECA allows the utility to set a base rate and then control the up's and down's by using the ECA.
