Gas rate proposals offered in Rittman to cut gas bills
Ludwig and McDonald from Ohio Fuel Gas met with Rittman officials to explain two promotional rate plans. The five year option would lower bills from 35c to 4.60 per month, with varying savings for the four year plan. Savings depend on usage, with first two years offering larger reductions, and a potential rise in prices as costs increase and regulatory decisions loom.
