Despite inflation all around, rates for electricity and water from Clark Public Utilities are expected to remain steady next year.

The utility’s board of commissioners passed the annual budget for its electric, generating and water systems Tuesday morning.

“The fact that we continue to meet our growing community’s energy needs while on path to exceeding new state emissions reduction targets without raising rates since 2011 is a testament to the talents and competency of the people in this utility,” Nancy Barnes, board president, said in a statement to the press.
