Residential Price to Compare (pdf)

Most Customers will see a different "Basic Gas" rate on their bills. Since customers are spread out over 20 billing cycles, each cycle's customers will have their rate pro-rated with the previous month's rate. For example, a customer whose meter is read on the 12th day of the month would have 12 days of usage billed at the current month's rate and 18 days of usage billed at the previous month's rate.
