Utilities studies okayed by Medicine Hat council
Outside consultants should be hired to evaluate the future of Medicine Hat's natural gas and electrical utilities. The utilities committee recommended a technical and economic study after Alderman Ken Sauer presented four options, including selling the utilities and converting them to city owned corporations. The city seeks funds to replace depleting gas reserves and buy new equipment.

The plan cost is $4.5 million with land already owned by the city and a 1983 development target set. The RVA relies on Lombard North Group feasibility findings favoring Running Bar X and notes cost increases may be offset by lower land prices.
