The Department of Public Utilities is proposing gas rate increases spanning the next four years. Two public hearings for the rate changes are planned. The first public hearing will take place at the July 20th Board of Public Utilities meeting. If the BPU approves the rate ordinance, a second hearing will be held on August 30th, at the Los Alamos County Council meeting. The rates must be adopted by the County Council before they can be put in place.
