Residents Are Outraged Over Natural Gas Hikes
Many customers with the largest natural gas company in West Virginia are outraged with the recent rate increase that was recommended by a WV Public Service Commission Chief Administrative Law Judge.
Unless the full commission overturns the recommendation, 226,000 customers of Mountaineer Gas will pay 33.4 percent more. The company has customers in Mingo and Logan Counties. The average monthly gas bill will go from $ 161 to $ 215 per month. The company says the rate increase is justified because the company had to pay more for natural gas when prices were high. The rate increase will go into effect Saturday.
