Department of Public Utilities

1. What are the various charges on my gas bill?
    The gas bill is made up of two major sections:

    • Purchased Gas Cost (PGC) - this is the cost for only the gas used.
    • Gas Distribution Charge - this is the cost for delivering the gas to customers. It consists of a monthly service charge and an amount based on the gas used each month.

    City gas customers will also see a utility tax on the bill. For residential customers, this will never be more than $4.00 a month.

2. What if I feel my bills do not reflect my actual usage?
    If you feel your bill does not reflect your actual energy usage, please call the Department of Public Utilities at 644-3000. The representative will review your natural gas usage and compare recent bills. She can also conduct an investigation or, if necessary, test the accuracy of your meter.
