This dollar amount is an estimated quarterly payment that represents a four percent increase over NES’s current quarterly payments of $4,699,109.72.

“NES is a public utility, owned by the ratepayers, and is a valuable asset to this community,” said NES President & CEO Don Kohanski. “We are proud to do our part to support our local government. The vital service we provide – at rates that are among the lowest in the nation – contributes greatly to the quality of life we all enjoy.”
