Brownfield Considers Energas Rate Hike At Council Meeting
Brownfield City Council may tackle Energas proposed gas rate increase at today’s 8:30 a.m. session. Energas seeks a 63 cent rise per thousand feet, from 3.40 to 4.03, affecting about 180000 customers from Pampa to Odessa. City Manager says past practice would yield a 120 day hike, while affected cities oppose to take case to Railroad Commission. Energas cites rising CPI and costs as the cause of the request.
