"According to our Finance and Budget division property taxes collected from the St. George area which fund the EBRSO office more than cover the cost to run the Kleinpeter substation. For fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018- June 30, 2019) it costs EBRSO approximately $2.99 million to operate Kleinpeter substation which services almost all of the proposed city of St. George as well as some areas inside the city of Baton Rouge."
