Natural Gas Pricing Notice – Tipton Customers
Severe winter weather in late January disrupted natural gas production nationwide, leading to higher market prices. While prior planning helped limit impacts earlier this winter, February natural gas costs will be higher due to market conditions when prices were set.
Only a portion of usage is affected, but customers may notice higher February bills. Weather conditions will continue to influence prices through the remainder of winter.
