Boerne could see rate increase for gas fees

Biggest costs pushed to medium, large users

Some Boerne gas customers could see their monthly bills increase by August as the city creates a tiered-rate structure to help raise $9.3 million over five years to pay for infrastructure improvements.

Sarah Buckelew, city finance director, told City Council the proposed rate structure relies on a three-part system separating small, medium and large users among residential and commercial accounts.
