Halstead residents can expect their next natural gas bill to be a big one, anywhere from $500 to $2,500, depending on how much gas they consumed during February. The city is asking residents to pay that amount in full if they can, but if they can’t, the city will help them create a payment plan for up to 48 months. “There’s going to be some people that aren’t going to be able to pay that balance quickly,” Mayor Dennis Travis said during Monday night’s city council meeting. “But there’s other people that, even if they can’t pay it this month, over the course of the next four, five or six months, they will have it paid off, which is greatly going to reduce our term on the $2 million we’re borrowing from the state.”
