Council introduces electric rules update tied to House Bill 62; public hearing set for Aug. 11

Milford’s council introduced an ordinance to update the city code governing electric rules and regulations to reflect changes enacted by House Bill 62 regarding utility account collections and terminations. The introduction was procedural; council scheduled the item for public comment on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, and staff said they will return to answer questions at that meeting.
Administration indicated much of the proposed language codifies practices the utility already follows and that the city solicitor and outside reviewers checked the draft for legal conformity. The introduction does not represent adoption; council will consider the ordinance at a later public meeting after the public-comment period.
The city manager and solicitor were present for the introduction and will be available to answer council and public questions when the ordinance returns.
