Explanation of Your Monthly Billing Charges

Leatherstocking Gas bills you monthly based on the amount of gas you use. Your usage is billed in volumetric units known as ccf, or hundred cubic feet. Below is an explanation of the four charges that will be on your bill. There may also be additional applicable taxes depending on your service type. Your usage will vary based on weather, insulation, thermostat setting, number of appliances that use gas, and more.

This is a flat fee of $20.00 per month for residential and small commercial customers. This covers:

• The cost of the lines from the street to your house,
• The cost of the meter,
• The cost to read the meter,
• The cost to generate invoices and other operational costs.

This is the cost per hundred cubic feet, or Ccf, for the gas itself. It varies quarterly but is typically well under $1.00/Ccf. We do not make money on the sale of the gas. What you pay for it is what we pay for it. This cost will change periodically but is relatively stable.

The cost per Ccf to transport the gas from the wellhead to LGC's gate station. This changes only with PAPUC permission.

The STAS permits utilities to recover portions of the Capital Stock Tax, Corporate Net Income Tax, Gross Receipts Tax, and the Public Utility Realty Tax through a surcharge on rates charged to customers. It is generally charged or refunded (adjusted) based on changes to any or all of those tax rates. This charge can change annually.
