PacifiCorp residential customers in Oregon will see electricity bills increase starting April 1 after regulators approved a series of rate adjustments. Officials say the typical monthly bill is expected to rise by about $5.64, though actual impacts will vary by usage.

PacifiCorp has announced plans to sell portions of its Oregon distribution system to three electric cooperatives, a move that could affect more than 8,000 customers in Wallowa County, Monroe, and Lakeview.

A section of the Link River Trail near Link River Dam in Klamath Falls will temporarily close beginning March 17 as Pacific Power begins construction work on the West Side Canal.
