The Missouri Public Service Commission will hold a hearing Monday
evening in Butler on a rate increase request filed earlier this year by
Liberty Utilities (Midstates Natural Gas) Corporation. The company's
request was filed February 6, seeking approval to raise customer rates
by about $12.35-a-month in Western Missouri, $9.05-a-month in Northeast
Missouri and $6.40-a-month in Southeast Missouri.
Monday's hearing
starts with a question-and-answer session by the PSC staff at 6:00 p.m.
in Robertson Hall at the Bates County Museum, 802 Elks Drive, with the
taking of sworn testimony to follow.
