City Council Backs Gasco Flat 5 Percent Rate Hike
Athens city council, after long debate, agreed to a flat five percent gas rate increase for Gasco, replacing last year’s proposed ten percent rise. The move, tied to a Dec 15 expiration, aims to ease the burden on large users while Gasco expects about a six percent annual return over three years if operating costs stay flat. A special meeting was planned to include Gasco reps before the Dec 5 regular session, with water improvements also on the agenda.
