Suit leads to savings for gas users

Nearly $2 per month is how much Kyle residents stand to save on their utility bills after city leaders April 17 approved a gas utility rate decrease.

The dip comes after Kyle city officials challenged a proposed rate increase by CenterPoint Energy Resources late last year.

In November 2017, CenterPoint filed a statement of intent with both the City of Kyle and the Texas Railroad Commission to increase its system-wide annual revenue requirement by about $490,000, and recover about $676,000 it lost during Hurricane Harvey through a 12-month surcharge, said city chief of staff Jerry Hendrix.
