Sidney Sees Gas Rates Stay Reasonable in Line With State
If gas rate increases approved by the Sidney city council are accepted by Kansas-Nebraska Natural Gas Co., the average Sidney consumer would still pay far less than peers in Hastings North Platte Ogallala Alliance Beatrice and Wyoming figures. A small home using 136 thousand cubic feet would rise from 81.35 to 93.35 annually, while a larger user at 236 thousand would go from 129.84 to 140.10.
