Natural gas rates increase
The city quantified its natural gas increase recently. The average residential customer will pay $12.50 more a month on average when rates raise on May 1. City officials blame the rising cost of almost all forms of energy.
“The prices are what they are and we have to pass it through,” Deputy City Manger Charles Young told me a couple weeks ago.
Despite the 16 percent increase, city officials say rates will still be cheaper than any local competitors. It provides the following chart as proof of its claims.
But $12.50 is still $12.50 a month and some will undoubtably feel the pain of the increase. How are you prepared to pay the extra money?
