How rates in Clovis have changed

When a published residential tariff no longer matches what we had on file, we keep the previous figure and record the date. Comparisons below use the same assumed usage as the estimate on this page. A percentage is shown only when both figures are confirmed charges of the same kind. How we compare past rates.

  • Electricity: a published tariff replaced an earlier figure that is not comparable.

    The earlier figure was $470.00, last verified March 22, 2026. The current tariff models to $430.82 at 1,000 kWh. That gap is not reported as a percentage price change.

  • Benchmark — From an official typical (e.g. state commission 1,000 kWh); not city-specific.
  • TDU + supply — Estimated total at 1,000 kWh: regulated delivery plus a representative supply benchmark. Not delivery charges alone, and not a plan you can enroll in.
  • Estimated — From other or incomplete sources; use as a rough guide.

FAQ

Trash in Clovis is provided by the city as part of municipal utilities and is billed at a monthly fee. Rates and services are set by the local government; our estimate uses the fee from City of Clovis – Rates & Fees (eff. July 1, 2025).
We use base charges and per-unit rates from official provider pages. Electric = base + (rate × assumed kWh). Water = base + (rate per 1,000 gal × assumed gallons / 1,000). Sewer is either a flat fee or a percentage of water. Trash is a fixed monthly fee. See the Methodology page for full formulas.
Actual bills depend on your usage, seasonal rates, taxes, fees, and provider-specific rules. Our estimates use fixed assumed usage (e.g., 1,000 kWh, 5,000 gal) for comparison. Your home may use more or less.
Each component shows a 'last verified' date. We aim to update from official sources periodically; always confirm current rates on the provider's site before making decisions.
