Winchester Gas Company Granted Lower Rate Decision
The Winchester Gas Company was approved to charge $2.15 per thousand cubic feet, not the requested $2.60. A commission memo notes the company operated at a small profit despite claims of financial distress, and a minimum bill of $1 plus a 5 percent discount yields a net increase of 14.5 cents per thousand cubic feet with a sliding scale.
