Comment: "This is my first comment, a�er decades of services. I am extremely concerned about the
cost of natural gas through Intermountain Gas. Let me note, I received a Intermtn Gas Company no�ce
in August 2022 (the 10th of that month) with no�ce of that IGC filed for decrease in prices. Aside from
that, in February 2022 I went to auto pay, level pay program and was paying $29.00 per month. My
usage bill had been in this range for quite some �me. My home is mixed gas and electric and I have lived
here for around 30 years. In July 2022, just 5 months since my level pay auto pay program started - the
monthly amount went from $29.00 to $51.00. You bet I called IGC and they said sorry, the individual
who ini�ally calculated your level pay amount did it incorrectly...So... the very next month of August
2022 - my bill came and it was now at a level pay amount, even higher, from $51.00 to $63.00. (I thought
maybe my call to them I was rude, and the wow - the price is way up. the 'litle people' syndrome is what
I am experiencing. I did not call and rant and rave about it). From 8/12/22-thru January 2023. I paid,
auto withdrawal mind you, $63.00 per month... The most recent bill of 2/2/2023, a mere 6 months
since the last rate increses - is NOW UP TO $73.00 per month. My gosh - .My 'therms' are a litler higher
in some spots AND even a litle lower too... .
I understand that yet another increase is proposed and before you at this �me, and although I may not
have a 'real' vote - please note I firmly oppose any addi�onal increases.
Our explosive growth shouldn't be the cost, seems gas prices have stabilized out?

In summary, in 16 months, $29 to $51 then to $63, then to $73 - is my reason to oppose. I am aware that
increases are necessary, BUT not to this extent. IGC needs to pause and figure this out. Please read and
share as appropriate. Thank you, "

Comment: "The current “commodity price of gas” the company refers to is back down to August 2020
levels a�er the spike in 2022 that they have already increased rates to compensate for. My rate in
February went up from $0.55523 to $0.69115 a 24.5 % increase, I see no jus�fica�on for another
increase. It should be a decrease in the “commodity price of gas”."
