Gas valve closure cripples Rittman heat supply
Last Thursday and Friday Rittman households faced zero gas pressure as a valve on the Rittman line may have been closed. Local men traced the issue to a partially shut valve near Sterling, reopened it, and restored gas to most homes by Friday afternoon. The incident sparked questions about motive, protection, and possible rate-raising links, with officials offering limited comment.
