Natural gas gains ground in Cumberland
Eight years into Cumberland’s natural gas era the fuel has replaced coal for homes and most businesses. The Weston field supplies Cumberland with gas at 25 cents per thousand feet for domestic use and 16 cents for hospitals, with large hotels and plants adopting gas for furnaces and kitchens. The city’s Public Service Commission regulates rates and reliability remains high, while street lighting uses gas at a separate rate. A local firm, West Virginia and Maryland Gas Co, operates under a city franchise limiting price and ensuring steady service.
