KAPLAN — A group of residents from Kaplan attended Tuesday’s council meeting to inquire about the sudden increase in their February electrical bills.
Kaplan Mayor Mike Kloesel explained that the spike occurred because of the contract between Kaplan and SLEMCO, which is the electric provider for the town.
In 2020, the Mayor renegotiated a new contract that lowered the electrical rates and saved residents more than $1 million over the last five years.
