PUBLIC POWER REDUCES ELECTRIC RATES $1,250,000.00 ANNUALLY Beginning April 1, 1948 All classes of customers to benefit from lower rates . . . Annual savings amount to more than a month's free electricity for most homes tr A rate reduction, amounting to one million, two hundred-fifty thousand dollars annually for cus tomers served by the Omaha Public Power District, will be made beginning April 1, 1948. All classes of customers served by the District will receive a saving in their electric service bills. This rate reduction is being made in the face of greatly increased costs for labor, fuel and mate rials, which, on the basis of price alone, increased more than #500,000 during the past year. In addi tion, provision has been made for an expansion and construction program to assure continued depend able service for our electric users. The cost of this program, now well under way, will amount to more than #15,000,000 over the period of the next five years. And, of course, the District continues to pay nearly a million dollars each year, in lieu of taxes, to the state and the cities, counties, and school districts in the territory it serves. In spite of increased costs of operation, our ex pansion program, and continued payments in lieu of taxes, public ownership has still made it possible to put this rate reduction into effect after only six teen months of operation. SAVINGS AMOUNT TO MORE THAN A MONTH'S FREE ELECTRICITY FOR MOST HOMES The annual saving for most homes will amount to more than a month’s free electric service. More than 64,000 residential customers will benefit from the new lower rates. This rate reduction will great ly add to the value of the “electric dollar” and make possible the use of better lighting and addi tional time and labor-saving appliances in the home, at no extra cost. GENERAL BUSINESS CUSTOMERS BENEFIT FROM NEW LOWER RATES Business and industrial customers in the area served by the District will benefit from the rate reduction. Savings to stores, offices, and small in dustries will amount to #500,000 annually. NEW LOW KATE FOR SCHOOLS. CHURCHES. PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS A new, special rate for all public and parochial schools, churches, public buildings, and charitable institutions served by the District will also be put into effect. This will give this group of customers a considerable reduction in their present costs of electric service. CITIES AND VILLAGES OUTSIDE OMAHA TO ENJOY SAME RATES AS OMAHA All homes, business, and industry located in cities, villages, and suburban areas outside of Oma ha will now enjoy identically the same rates as Omaha users. In the past, cost to out-of-city cus tomers has been somewhat higher than in Omaha. In determining the new schedules, rates will first be equalized with Omaha’s old rates . . . then the same new rate reduction being made in Omaha will also be applied. FARM ELECTRIC SERVICE ^ TO COST LESS Rates for farm electric service are also being reduced. In effect, the difference between the new rate schedule and the old amounts to more than 1,200,000 kilowatt hours of “free” electricity for farms now served by the District. With this sav ing, farm customers can make even more use of labor-saving electric service in the home or on the farm, or apply the savings on the purchase of ad ditional electrical farm equipment to increase pro duction and profits. In announcing this rate reduction, the Omaha Public Power District is fulfilling its promise to dis tribute to the users of service die benefits of pub lic ownership .... continuing, at the same time, its policy of courtesy and dependable service.
