Mountaineer Gas Co acknowledges about 20,000 customers received erroneous bills this fall amid a computer conversion. At an informal PSC hearing, customers described massive over-billings, including one couple facing a $6,600.91 heating bill. Company officials blamed the transition to a new computer system and noted temporary suspension of service cut-offs while problems persist. The Columbia Gas System formerly billed residentials. Mountaineer now runs the system for most customers. The firm purchased a Donovan billing system, with the switch completed Oct 14 amid mounting errors.
