JEA Rate Increase Might Not Mean Higher Bill

"The base rate for electricity, water, and sewage is going up on the first of October. JEA's Gerri Boyce said the average costumer will see an increase in those utilities."

"And then their base rate will go up about 6 dollars, a little over six dollars, and water and sewer will go up a little bit," Boyce said."

"She said despite that, the average fuel charge will drop about 13 dollars. That is decreasing because it costs less to by the fuel to power the plants that produce the energy.
"And when all is said and done, their rates will be a $1.85 less," Boyce said."
