Lone Star Gas seeks rate rise in Ector and Dodd City
Lone Star Gas Co. asks Ector and Dodd City officials to approve a 10 cent per 1000 cubic feet rate hike for residential and commercial customers. The move would push average bills in Ector up about 7.3 percent and in Dodd City about 7.5 percent to offset higher city gate costs authorized by the Texas Railroad Commission. Virgil Stroup, the company's manager for the two cities, cited the emergency order that raised the city gate rate to 94.19 cents per 1000 cubic feet and stated the increase is needed to maintain a reasonable return.
