Selectmen Approve 2 Electricity Rate Hikes

NORWOOD, MA — Norwood residents will be paying a little more for electricity next month and even more on New Year's Day 2018.

The Norwood selectmen voted this week to increase the town's rates by 5.9 percent effective June 1 and another 5.9 percent on January 1.

Light Department Superintendent James Collins told the selectmen that the increase is needed to cover increased costs, according to the Norwood Record.

After the second increase, the average consumer can expect to pay about $10 more on their electric bill.

The increase is the first since 2014.
