On Tuesday, the city’s natural gas supply was reduced by 26 percent.
“So to maintain our gas flow into the city, we’re actually using 25 percent of our reserves to, you know, keep that volume at 100 percent,” says Altamont Police Chief and Public Information Officer Michael Shields.
On February 15th, the city made a post on Facebook, saying that Southern Star would be “cutting our volume by 26 percent.” Meaning there would be 26 percent less natural gas coming to the city from the supplier.
