Two main costs shape Southern Union Gas bills says manager
A local manager explains gas bills have two parts. The cost of service is set by the Pecos City Council and changes rarely. The other part is the gas the company buys from producers and pipelines with no added profit or markup. The rising gas bills over recent years come from gas costs, while the service charge varies little.
