Gas Company Drops Meter Charge After Public Utilities Hearing
The Public Utilities Commission heard that Bridgeport residents opposed the meter charge and favored a single rate. The gas company withdraws the service charge and adopts a flat rate plan with a potential reduction for many customers. New schedule lowers costs for many users and sets minimum charges for small consumers. The company states rates were carefully studied and will adjust if costs decrease further. The change reflects the company’s aim to serve the public fairly while maintaining service quality.
