PGW wants to increase customer rates by $70 million per year.
They say the average household’s gas bill would go up by 11.2%, but the actual increase could be much higher.
Their proposal would increase the fixed monthly charge from $13.75 to $19.25, a 40% increase, and that’s without using any gas!
Gas bills are already too high for lower- and middle-income families.
