Atmos Energy is asking the Kentucky Public Service Commission to authorize a $3.3 million rate hike.

The Daily News reports if the hike is approved, customers will see a 2 percent increase on their monthly bills next year.

Atmos Energy spokeswoman Kay Coomes says that translates to a jump in the average gas bill of a little more than a dollar — from $51.13 to $52.18.

Coomes says the rate increase is needed to make infrastructure and system improvements that are important for safety.

The last rate increase case was in 2013, and Coomes says that even with the proposed new rate hike, the average bill would be lower than it was in 2009.

The Public Service Commission has 10 months to consider the request.
