PSC Sets Hearings On Washington Gas Rate Increase Request

BALTIMORE (AP) — Maryland regulators have scheduled two public comment hearings on a request by Washington Gas Light Company to increase its gas service rates by nearly $36 million.
The Public Service Commission announced Monday it has scheduled a July 29 hearing in Rockville, Maryland. It also announced an Aug. 6 public hearing in Largo.
The PSC says that of the nearly $36 million rate-increase request, about $5 million is currently being collected through a system improvement surcharge.
