Hi Harlan,
Amount due
$40.50
Due November 5, 2025 · INV-2025-10-004266
Why this bill is different
Most of the difference is gas used beyond what the weather explains. You used 27 therms this period against 20 in September.
Usage beyond the weather
Even allowing for the cold, you used about 7 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.
Natural gas cost
The purchased gas adjustment — what we pay for the gas itself, passed through at no markup — rose from $0.3488 to $0.3612 a therm.
Taxes and fees
The city franchise fee and taxes are a percentage of the charges above, so they move with them.
Weather
Neither period needed much heating, so weather does not explain the difference.
