Plano City Council approved a pair of items that may impact resident’s natural gas bills during its Aug. 25 meeting. What happened Council supported suspending a request by CoServ Gas to increase natural gas rates until Sept. 17, which could result in an 18.5% increase for residential customers per month. Council members also approved a nego- tiated settlement that will increase natural gas rates by $7.83 a month for Atmos Energy residential customers. CoServ applied for a rate adjustment in July, following Atmos’ filing in April. While CoServ’s rate adjustments are still under review, Atmos’ increase will go into effect Oct. 1.
