Gas utility bill increase.
College Station, Bryan, and 179 other cities witnessing a surge in natural gas rates come October 1, as City Councils for both College Station and Bryan have unanimously green-lighted rate increment for Atmos Energy.
This approval sees residential customers paying an average increase of $5.52 a month while commercial customers will have their rates hiked by an average of $13.39 per month. These changes follow approval from both city councils.
Interestingly, the Bryan city council did not publicize or discuss this rate change prior to its approval. This move has come under scrutiny and sparked some debates within the local communities.
Assistant to the city manager of College Station, Ross Brady, informed council members that the approved rates will witness $32 million dollars less than what Atmos Energy initially proposed for cities located within its Mid-Tex region. Brady did not shy away from expressing his thoughts and concerns during the August council meeting.
Representatives of Atmos Energy attended both meetings but refrained from making any remarks. Further insights reveal that Atmos industrial class customers will face an average monthly increase of $87.34, while Atmos transportation class customers will experience a surge of $574.68 per month.
Additionally, a useful document was provided for the August 13, 2024, Bryan city council meeting that elaborates on the history of setting natural gas rates for Atmos Energy. The document served as a vital touchpoint and reference during the discussions around the rate increment.
A Bryan man, Monterrius Harrison, was arrested for the fourth time in less than two years on twelve warrants, owing more than $6,300 in fines on multiple cases in Bryan municipal court. Meanwhile, a College Station woman, Amanda Miskell, was arrested on six warrants for failing to quarantine an animal after a biting incident earlier in the year.
After being closed since January for a $3 million project, the Luther Street near Texas A&M’s west campus is open. This reopening, three months ahead of schedule, is expected to help traffic flow during Texas A&M home football weekends and accommodate bus routes.
