PR-08-78 -- PSC Approves Missouri Gas Utility Request To Expand Service Area Near Ridgeway
Contact: Kevin Kelly (573) 751-9300
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- NOVEMBER 8, 2007
JEFFERSON CITY—The Missouri Public Service Commission has approved an application authorizing Missouri Gas Utility, Inc. (MGU) to expand its current certificated area in northwest Missouri. Under the application, MGU will provide natural gas service to Maschhoffs, Inc. facilities located in Harrison County near Ridgeway, Missouri.
The PSC staff recommended the application be approved in a filing with the commission. Staff stated that it believed the application would be in the public interest because: 1) MGU is willing and able to serve the new customer under current tariff provisions; 2) MGU’s service to the new customer would not negatively impact other MGU customers; 3) no intervenors objected; and 4) no new franchises are required.
Based upon a review of the evidence in the case, the commission determined the proposed service is in the public interest.
MGU serves approximately 900 natural gas customers in the communities of Hamilton, Gallatin, Jameson and Coffey in Caldwell and Daviess Counties.
