Texas Gas Service is seeking a rate hike in El Paso, where residents are already facing increases in their electric and water bills. The extent of the proposed gas rate hike is reported to be 27% for Texas Gas Service customers, while electric rate increases have been approved, though not at the level requested by the company. The impact on households is expected to be significant, with potential monthly utility bill jumps, although the exact outcome and timing of the changes are not yet certain.
