Peoples Natural Gas Files 6.5 Percent Rate Increase
R. L. Lienemann of Omaha says the requested increase would raise a typical bill by about 6.5 percent, adding roughly $3 per month for a family using gas for heating and hot water. The Iowa Commerce Commission will review the filing after hearings, with a final decision expected later this year. If approved, the higher rates come with a bond to refund any excess collected. Peoples serves 111 Iowa towns and roughly 107,000 customers, amid rising gas costs and constrained supplies.
