In their meeting yesterday, the Austin City Council approved three new measures related to energy efficiency:
1. Agreed to use $2.9 million in federal stimulus money to weatherize the homes of low-income, elderly and disabled residents
2. Agreed to grant Texas Gas Service's application to apply a surcharge to customers' bills to cover the cost of relocating gas facilities
3. Approved spending $3 million on rebates for high efficiency toilets and other conservation programs
With winter approaching, the Texas Gas Service surcharge means that it is even more important and financially beneficial to make energy efficiency improvements for your home.
