It's a gas

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

Forget the tax rebate from Uncle Sam. What are you going to do with the money-saving credit that will appear on your May gas bill?
Peoples Gas and North Shore Gas announced this week that the credit will be shown on customers' bills as something called a Volume Balancing Adjustment.
North Shore Gas serves 158,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in 54 communities in Northeastern Illinois. Peoples Gas serves 840,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers, mostly in the city of Chicago.
The total amount of the credit is $1 million. Divided by 998,000 customers, your credit will probably amount to a buck.
Spend it wisely.
