Gas Rate Boost Proposals Offered To Elyria Council
The Ohio Fuel Gas Co presented two rate increase plans to Elyria city officials. One plan adds a fuel cost clause with higher per‑hundred‑feet charges and an elevated minimum, while an alternate clause‑free rate remains. A 34 cent monthly rise is stated for the average user, with heating bills rising notably in winter. The company seeks shorter contracts and a potential 10‑year franchise, while existing 1946 terms expire April 17.
