Hi Wendell,

Amount due

$137.31

Due January 5, 2026 · INV-2025-12-005520

Why this bill is different

Your December bill is $45.01 higher than your November bill.

Most of the difference is colder weather — your heating ran more. You used 186 therms this period against 114 in November.

  1. November 2025$92.30
  2. Weather+$25.02
  3. Usage beyond weather+$14.83
  4. Gas cost+$3.21
  5. Taxes and fees+$1.95
  6. December 2025$137.31
  • +$25.02

    Colder weather

    This period had 486 heating degree days against 322 — 51% colder. At the same gas per degree of cold, that alone is about 45 therms more.

  • +$14.83

    Usage beyond the weather

    Even allowing for the cold, you used about 27 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.

  • +$3.21

    Natural gas cost

    The purchased gas adjustment — what we pay for the gas itself, passed through at no markup — rose from $0.3948 to $0.4120 a therm.

  • +$1.95

    Taxes and fees

    The city franchise fee and taxes are a percentage of the charges above, so they move with them.
