Gas Rate Decision Expected Today in Washington
The Washington Gas Light and Georgetown Gas Light propose 133 or 135 dollars per 1400 cubic feet. If denied, the Public Utilities Commission may keep the 125 dollar temporary rate or extend it 60 to 90 days. The present rate is a 30 percent rise over last year’s 95 cents. Representatives argued for 132 dollars to yield higher returns while claiming higher rates for consumers. Government exposure to rising costs noted as pressures to ensure a fair share of gas charges.
