Columbia Gas of Virginia customers will see their monthly bills adjusted effective June 1. The typical total monthly residential customer bill will be $40.37, compared to the current monthly bill of $39.35. This cost comparison is based on a 23 Ccf monthly summer usage level. A Ccf is the measurement used for natural gas usage and is the equivalent of 100 cubic feet.
The overall typical bill for Columbia Gas customers reflects the ongoing stability of natural gas markets, a result of the continued positive outlook for long-term domestic supply.
