Despite an unusually warm fall, Arkansans can
expect to pay more for natural gas in the coming months. That was
the word at the state Capitol today from utility company officials
who addressed a legislative committee. Representatives of
CenterPoint ARKLA, Arkansas Oklahoma Gas and Arkansas Western Gas
said average residential customers can expect a 20 percent to 30
percent increase in their monthly bills. The companies told
legislators that the rate hikes were needed to keep pace with a
volatile natural gas market and fluctuating supply levels.
