Higher natural gas rates?

1/08 tahoe mt. news:

Pay attention to those Southwest Gas bills in the coming months because they will contain information about public hearings regarding a proposed average rate increase of 12.5 percent for South Lake Tahoe residential customers.
Customers in El Dorado, Placer and Nevada counties also face hikes to natural gas bills.
The state Public Utilities Commission must approve the increase that would be for what is being called “test year 2009”.
“If this request is approved by the Commission, the proposed rate changes will take effect on January 1, 2009 and thereafter on January 1, 2010 through 2013,” according to published documents.
A copy of the application is available at the Southwest offices in Truckee, Incline Village and Carson City.
