Gas dispute pushes Lo-Vaca case toward court action
State writer reports the Texas Railroad Commission ordered a new rate structure for Lo-Vaca Gathering Co. that could curb bills for San Antonio customers but threaten Coastal States Gas Producing Co. by possible bankruptcy. Major customers include CPS, City of Austin, LCRA, CPL and Lone Star. The plan offers an 8 percent passthrough or a return to contract rates, with potential refunds exceeding 700 million if contracts are voided. The outcome hinges on unanimity among customers and the future control of gas distribution.
