Gas Service rate hike won’t raise Kansas bills
Kansas residents will see no higher charges after the Kansas Corporation Commission approved a 9.7 million dollar annual permanent rate increase for Gas Service, trimming its initial 24.8 million request by 61 percent. The decision keeps monthly residential charges near 4.10 dollars, rejects a proposed facilities charge, and shifts more cost burden to larger customers, a move criticized by Commissioner Loux.
