Groves City Council on July 28 adopted Ordinance 2025‑12, suspending the rates proposed by Texas Gas Service in the company's June 30, 2025 rate‑increase filing.

Staff told the council this is a routine annual procedural action municipalities take in response to utility filings; suspending the proposed rates initiates review and preserves municipal review authority during the statutory review period. The motion to adopt the ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote with the mayor and council members recorded as voting aye.

The suspension does not itself set final rates; rather, it formally invokes the city’s review process in response to the filing and begins the timeline for staff and the company to address the proposal.
