Council delays Atmos gas rate increase for 45 days to review filing
Summary
The council voted to suspend the effective date of a proposed Atmos rate increase for 45 days so legal counsel and coalition partners can review the company’s filing; staff said the change would raise residential bills by about $10.59 if approved by the PUC.
Council voted to suspend the effective date of a proposed Atmos gas rate increase for 45 days, giving the city’s legal counsel and partner cities time to analyze the filing before it proceeds to the Public Utility Commission. Council and staff described the process as an annual step in the rate review procedure that allows cities to coordinate a response.
A councilmember summarized the filing and its potential impact: “On 02/20/2026, Atmos did file for an increase... in residential sales that would be an increase of $10.59 per bill,” staff said. The suspension delays the effective date to June 2, 2026, and the city’s legal team will study the proposal and report back. Council voted unanimously to adopt the resolution to suspend the increase for 45 days.
