Lamesa City halts Energas rate hike for 120 days
The Lamesa City Council voted to suspend Energas 18.5 percent rate increase for 120 days delaying any higher gas charges until at least January. The move allows Energas customers in 63 West Texas cities to review the proposal and negotiate. Mars said the boost would raise a typical residential bill about $5.61 monthly for 107 000 cubic feet yearly usage.
