City Gas Petition After Fuel Price Doubles
Washington faces a doubled coal cost for next year after a single bid of 5.50 per ton at the mine from Bidwell Coal Co. of Ottumwa, about seven dollars delivered. A group of roughly fifty gas customers signed a petition urging investigation of the recent gas price hike and allocation. The petition was sent to ordinance and finance committees for next steps, potentially court action.
