Alliant Gas

Alliant Gas provides community propane (in lieu of a private on-​property tank) to areas where natural gas is not available. I have difficulty getting through to customer reps via phone on a couple of occasions (busy signal, on hold for a lengthy amount of time, etc.); however, when I have reached them they have always been very helpful.
Having stated that, thanks to the Arctic Blast and unusually extreme cold temperatures that lasted longer than usual in the Hill Country I received $ 500+ bills for usage for the 4 consecutive months. Like other gas and propane companies Alliant’s rates are regulated based the Texas Railroad Commission… and those rates have almost doubled since last year!
NOTE: If you are looking at purchasing property on/​near the Lake Travis area be sure to ask about all of the utilities offered in the area, especially propane. Because of the landscape and hard layer of limestone that is just under the surface soil in a lot of the Lake area, natural gas lines are not able to be run. I love living on the lake, but that extra 500 plus bucks was definitely not considered in our budget. Next winter it’s all about space heaters and ski suits… I am not kidding! I’d rather spend the $ 2K on a trip to the beach!
