How Rates are Structured

Electric rates are made up of three components including a customer service charge, a demand charge, and an energy charge. The customer charge is a flat monthly charge which recovers fixed costs such as materials, operations and maintenance, and accounting costs. Demand charges are in the form of dollars per kilowatt. Demand charges recover the supplier's capital investment and substation costs associated with providing sufficient capacity to a customer, regardless of energy used. The energy charge is in the form of cents per kilowatt-hour and is for purchased power and fuel. Customers are grouped into classes according to expected energy and demand needs. Small commercial and residential customers pay only customer and energy charges. Large commercial and industrial customers pay customer, demand and energy charges.

*SIC Qualifiers 100 kW

Other Qualifying Customers 250 kW

PARKS & RECREATION RATES AND FEES

Participation Fees

  • Several monthly membership packages are available to meet your individual or family needs.
  • A daily rate of $2 is also available. 
  • Aerobics Classes are $3.50 per class per participant or $30 /month which includes privileges of all exercise options - unlimited attendance.

Creating an exercise routine utilizing several of the exercise amenities will provide you the best overall results for strength, fat burning, and cardiovascular workout. 

In the event you have not participated in a structured exercise program within the past six months, consult your doctor or health practitioner prior to beginning a new exercise program. 

Always drink plenty of water prior to and during your workout.  When you feel thirsty your body is nearing dehydration.  Continue drinking water following your workout to replenish the fluid lost during exercise.
