Gas Company to Refund Service Charges in 23 Months
The local gas distributor announced a full refund of service charges collected over the past twenty three months and will drop the service charge on bills this month leaving only the 80 cents per thousand gas rate. Manager Daryl J Dodds will oversee the accounting, with about six thousand accounts to review over roughly sixty days. The company says courts found no authority for the service charge, and the state supreme court decision of January 6 affirmed the refusal to uphold it. The refunds will include 60 percent interest for the held funds, and the January bills were adjusted to remove the service charge. A federal case in Kansas City remains pending, but the refund plan proceeds.
