Richmond Gas Works customers may soon see their monthly bills increase by 40%about $38. The city warned of the news in a press release Friday.

In Richmond, officials say the wholesale cost has doubled from 57 cents per 100 cubic feet to $1.13. Consumers saw a similar rise last fall, although the bill bump was smaller at around $13.
