According to Altamont Chief of Police Michael Shields, Southern Star cut the city’s gas supply at 7:00 a.m. this morning. “The City is pulling from our gas reserves to help offset this. We do not have information as to how we will be affected tomorrow,” states Shields. He’s urging residents to conserve both gas and electric and continue to prepare for gas supply loss, “Our reserves are limited and will not last forever.”
