IOWA (KWQC) — MidAmerican Energy has filed a request with the Iowa Utilities Commission to raise the delivery charge for natural gas.

The delivery charge is separate from the price of gas and is used to pay for infrastructure to move gas to homes and businesses.

The company said the average monthly residential bill will increase from $55.60 to $58.49 — an increase of about 5 percent. The interim charge is set to take effect July 17.
