Columbia Gas Talks Stall Over Residential Rates
Columbia and the city remain at odds over gas price regulation for homes. Norwalk manager Don Phelps reports Columbia rejects the city’s latest offer 9.25 cents per 100 cubic feet plus 3.30 monthly, while the company seeks 6.05 cents with a $3 monthly service fee.
