Summary: General rate increase that would generate approximately $421,000 (8.9 percent) in additional annual revenue for the collection of residential and commercial garbage, residential recycling and drop box services. The company and staff agreed to revised rates. The revised rates would result in increased rates for drop box customers, as compared to the rates the company originally proposed. The company asks for exemptions from rules to allow the revised rates to become effective November 1, 2010, on less than statutory notice, and to allow the company to notify customers of increases with the next billing. The company serves approximately 11,800 customers in Lewis County. The company's last general rate increase was effective December 1, 2008.
