Lubbock Residents Will See Higher Gas Bills This May

Lubbock energy budgets will get stretched yet again this May.

Lubbock Budgets Are Taking A Beating Right Now

I'm not real sure what is going on with the economy, only that it isn't good for the average person in Lubbock.

Just when you didn't need it, the Lubbock City Council approved a rate hike for Atomos Energy, effective this May. At least the cost is minimal with the average homeowner only paying about $1.60 more than they used to. Of course, homes that use more natural gas will see their bills rise further.

One of the biggest ways us consumers lose money is with micropayments from subscriptions as well as one-time payment. Those things add up really fast and before you know it you owe a lot of money. The same thing is happening with energy costs, groceries, and other items. $1.60 doesn't seem like a bunch, but when everybody wants a couple bucks more, it really hurts your wallet.
