Hi Wendell,
Amount due
$92.30
Due December 6, 2025 · INV-2025-11-005520
Why this bill is different
Most of the difference is colder weather — your heating ran more. You used 114 therms this period against 52 in October.
Colder weather
This period had 322 heating degree days against 96 — 235% colder. At the same gas per degree of cold, that alone is about 62 therms more.
Natural gas cost
The purchased gas adjustment — what we pay for the gas itself, passed through at no markup — rose from $0.3612 to $0.3948 a therm.
Weather adjustment
A credit of $0.0142 a therm applied this period. It evens out the delivery part of your bill when weather strays from normal (290 degree days is normal for this period), softening bills in extreme winters.
Taxes and fees
The city franchise fee and taxes are a percentage of the charges above, so they move with them.
