Residents in the Purchase and Pennyrile regions are being urged to conserve their natural gas. Due to the severity of the recent and upcoming winter storms, natural gas providers are saying units pre-budgeted for the month are quickly depleting.
Jessica Scillian, manager of Benton Gas Systems, said the abnormal freezing temperatures in Texas are affecting pipelines supplying natural gas to providers in cities like Benton, Hopkinsville, Paducah, and Madisonville. However, Scillian assured customers they will not lose their gas, but they may face significant rate increases.
Scillian said the current rate for Benton Gas Systems is $7.60 per 1000; she said rates could go up by as much as 10 times higher than the current price.
Oregon reported 43 new coronavirus deaths Saturday, the fifth highest single-day count since the start of the pandemic, including two in Benton County and one in Linn County.

Crews work to move the Southern Pacific 982 steam engine, located downtown between the George R. Brown Convention Center and Minute Maid Park, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, in Houston. The steam engine was hoisted by two 250-ton cranes and placed nearby in a temporary space to allow crews to level the tracks. The engine is scheduled to be moved back onto the tracks on Thursday.
