Cedar Park City Council on Aug. 7 voted to delay the implementation of an increased gas rate proposed by Texas Gas Service Company, so the city can evaluate the merits of the price increase.
The 90-day delay pushed the implementation of the rate that was supposed to take effect Aug. 19, according to agenda documents. The city will evaluate how to proceed in regard to the increased rate in the meantime.
The gist
During the delay, Cedar Park will work with other cities to decide how to proceed. The cities will examine whether the increase is legal among other things, and if it is, the cities will discuss their options for moving forward. TGS seeks to increase its revenue by $41.1 million, according to the documents.
