REQUEST TO CHANGE RATES FOR
GAS TRANSPORTATION
(Triennial Cost Allocation Proceeding)
Application No. A.18-07-024
On July 31, 2018, the Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) filed its Triennial Cost Allocation Proceeding (TCAP) Application (A.18-07-024) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to revise its rates for natural gas transportation. If approved, the proposed changes in rates will begin on January 1, 2020 and conclude on December 31, 2022.
If approved, SoCalGas' transportation revenue would decrease by $3.3 million, or -0.1% in 2020. This overall decrease would only apply to the transportation component of a total gas bill. This would not impact the natural gas commodity or public purpose program surcharge components of the gas bill. Due to the distribution of costs, some customer classes may see rate increases while other customer classes may see rate decreases.
To view the illustrative change in class average rates due to the proposed TCAP, please click below.

Going back to school can be stressful for the whole family—arm yourself with these tips to have the smoothest back-to-school season yet.
|

LISTEN.
The first step in helping your kids with school stress is to listen to what is going on with them. Even if they are not talking, watch for non-verbal cues, or trust your instincts if your kid just does not seem himself or herself. Begin the conversation by casually asking about school while you are driving home, at the supermarket, or doing a chore around the house together. Do not pressure them and refrain from pressing for answers.
TALK ABOUT HOMEWORK.
If they are new to homework, discuss the work with them at the kitchen table or before they sit down to work. Talk about what is due tomorrow or next week and help them to plan out how to get the work done. Do not focus on grades, but rather focus on completion and understanding the concepts of the assignment. Learning to manage their workload efficiently will help them not only succeed in school but in the workforce.
ESTABLISH A ROUTINE.
Set a breakfast and morning routine that works for everyone. It may mean setting out plates and planning breakfast the night before or it may mean getting up a few minutes earlier to help ease morning stress. Try to make mornings calm and be enthusiastic about what is planned for the day. Lead by example by happily sharing the plans that you have for your day.
"UN-SCHEDULE" KIDS.
There are wonderful extracurricular activities for your child, but it is just as important that kids take time to relax and have some unscheduled time at home or outdoors. Keep one weekday after school that is a “free day,” and stick to that schedule for the school year. Your child will be relaxed and prepared for the rest of the week when you allow him to have proper downtime.
TEACH YOUR KIDS HOW TO HELP OUT.
Similar to establishing a routine, setting up designated chores for your child to do each week is an important part of learning responsibility and feeling independent. It can be tough to get your kids to do chores without an incentive, though. Create a sticker chart, give a few dollars as a monetary reward, or offer dessert if you do not normally have sweets in the house.

Join a Community-Wide Crime Prevention Program
Cops are getting creative when it comes to catching criminals, and there are lots of opportunities for you to do your part to keep your community safe. Operation Identification is a nationwide project that encourages people to mark their property to combat burglary and theft. In some cities, burglary rates for Operation Identification households were significantly lower than those of non-participants. Also look into groups like Neighbhorhood Watch to see how you can get involved.
