ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Some Peoples Natural Gas customers spoke out against a proposed rate increase, the second in about two years.
The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission is holding public hearings before it makes a final decision.
The agency says the average bill for a residential customer would increase by about 13%, so a customer who previously paid around $122 per month would see their bill increase by about $16 per month.
There are approximately 700,000 Peoples customers across southwestern Pennsylvania
