Hi Harlan,
Amount due
$50.97
Due May 6, 2025 · INV-2025-04-004302
Why this bill is different
You used less gas, or gas cost less. You used 47 therms this period against 74 in March.
Milder weather
This period had 132 heating degree days against 291 — 55% milder. At the same gas per degree of cold, that alone is about 30 therms less.
Natural gas cost
The purchased gas adjustment — what we pay for the gas itself, passed through at no markup — fell from $0.4190 to $0.3655 a therm.
Usage beyond the weather
Even allowing for the cold, you used about 4 therms more than your home usually does. Common causes: a higher thermostat, a new gas appliance, guests, or a leak. If you ever smell gas, leave and call (979) 555-0199 from outside.
Taxes and fees
The city franchise fee and taxes are a percentage of the charges above, so they move with them.
