City’s gas wells strain finances as revenues rise
Garden City faces higher franchise receipts from natural gas sales as 2 city wells underperform. Inspectors flagged access issues and aging equipment at wells near Lee Richardson Zoo and the Finney County Fairgrounds. Despite maintenance questions, the commission found no rule violations though signs and serviceability need improvement. Several factors, including disconnections for nonpayment and long-term ownership of gas rights, shape the city’s gas budget and regulatory interactions.
