Special Items:

EXPLANATION OF YOUR BILL:  your  gas bill, like your electric and water bills, is based on USAGE, measured in hundreds of cubic feet (ccf). This figure is on your monthly bill, about halfway down on the left side.

"GAS DELIVERED" : the amount shown on your bill as "GAS DELIVERED" is the volume of gas used multiplied by ($3.45, plus the COST of GAS). Example - customer usage for September was 7.50 ccf. (7.50 ccf is  0.75 mcf usage). Assume the Cost of Gas was $8.95/mcf.  To calculate the "Gas Delivered", multiply this usage (.75mcf) by ($3.45 + $8.95) = $9.30.

"STANDARD SERVICE" : All customers are also charged a flat service (or meter) charge of $13.00 per month, regardless of usage. Customers with only a gas furnace may wish to go into "Summer Turn-Off" to avoid this monthly fee. The "Fall Turn On Fee" is $45.00.
