CityWest to increase monthly rate in June

Prince Rupert residents will be digging a little bit deeper once again, as CityWest follows the example of the City of Prince Rupert and puts in place an increase on those that use CityWest services in the community.

April's monthly CityWest bill provides an advance warning of a planned increase to monthly rates for the City owned telecommunication company.

As of June 1st, CityWest will be increasing their rate on telephone lines by 1.236%, matching they say the current rate of inflation.

The June increase will add thirty one cents to residential users, while business customers will see their monthly bill increase by sixty four cents.
