Sep. 21, 2016 – Cascade Natural Gas Corporation filed its annual Conservation Program Adjustment with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to reflect a slight increase in its annual conservation program costs. The request will increase residential customers’ natural gas bills by 0.37 percent or about $0.17 more per month.
At the same time, Cascade will update its annual adjustment for the pipeline replacement cost recovery mechanism. By itself, the effect of this filing on the average residential customer would be a 0.92 percent increase, or about $0.50 more per month. For the average commercial customer it would be a 0.74 percent increase, or about $1.80 more per month.
These two filing are expected to become effective November 1, 2016.
