A residential gas bill is made up of three different main charges: the Distribution charge, the Gas Customer charge, and the Purchased Gas charge (PGC). Commercial customers will also notice a Maryland State sales tax each month.

Distribution charge: A set cost per cf for delivery of gas to your home and to construct and maintain the distribution system. This charge does not include the cost of gas.

Gas Customer charge: The fixed cost per month to read your meter, process monthly bills and provide customer services. These are fixed costs to serve each customer no matter how much gas is consumed.

Purchased Gas Charge (PGC): The price that Easton Utilities pays for natural gas from the wholesale energy market. The cost may be long or short-term contracts or daily ‘real time’ market prices. The PGC is billed to our customers without any mark-up and reflects approximately 2/3 of a customer’s bill.

Measurements: Natural gas is measured by “cf.” One cf equals 100 cubic feet or 1 unit.
