27% Gas Price Increase in El Paso A Possiblity

(EL PASO) -- El Pasoans may face a 27% local gas service hike.

However, if they have anything to say about it, they will on Monday, at one of several meetings, where community members will voice their concerns over the nearly 30% rise in the gas bill service. 

The matter has gained local attention, with radio and broadcast stations reporting the news in the last two days, as well as OpGov.ai, which will follow the serious community concern this week at a few meetings.

The Westside Regional Command Center, located at 4801 Osbourne, will host the first gathering from 7-9 p.m. this Monday, Nov. 10.

On Tuesday, there are two meetings: one from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Pebble Hills Command Center and another from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Upper Eastside Command Center.
