Texas Gas Service residential customers in Galveston will see a monthly rate increase beginning in June. The new charge will add $3.36 to each bill, affecting all residential customers on the island.

As part of an accepted rate change, Texas Gas Service customers in Galveston will see an increase in their monthly bills starting in June.
The company said that customers' monthly fees will increase by $3.36, affecting all homes on the island.
This change was made after ongoing reviews of infrastructure costs, running the business, and other factors that affect the price of natural gas. Texas Gas Service reviews rates on a regular basis to ensure they are fair and provide good service.
This latest increase is due to the company having to cover rising costs. Even though the extra charge might not seem like much, for many families, dealing with rising utility costs is already hard enough.
Texas Gas Service hasn't said what other changes they expect to make, but they do tell their customers to look into ways to save energy and programs that can help them pay their bills if needed.
