Ample supply of natural gas: NIPSCO

(Continued from page 1) tinue to receive its full contracted daily supply of 910 million cubic feet from suppliers, a supply which will be supplemented by more than 32 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage® from NIPSCO-owned facilities and from storage reserves contracted with suppliers and other energy companies. NIPSCO gas rates are expected to be slightly higher in 1985, but not more than four percent or approximately the current inflation rate, than those charged this year, Yundt says, because abundant supplies and competition among pipeline companies have helped hold the line on prices. Any increases in gas costs to NIPSCO customers would result from slightly higher costs from wholesale suppliers, as the utility has not increased its base gas rates since August 1982 and has agreed not to raise them before

45 days of snow Snowfall this season so far has been five inches, which is above normal, says Goshen College Weather Observer, Lores Steury. - , Ever wonder about the number of times we are blessed with the little white crystals falling out of the sky? In 70 years of record keeping, Steury says they have recorded snow on an average of 45 days per winter season. This record includes a trace to a large amount. Snows that have been one inch or more have averaged nine per season. The winter of 1918-1919 is on record with the least number of snow days one inch or more, with one snow in March which measured six inches. The winter season of 1966-1967 recorded the most snow days with 22 days of snow one inch or more.

mid-1986. “Stabilizing gas prices will help natural gas maintain its position as the least expensive heating fuel in northern Indiana,” Yundt said. NIPSCO natural gas rates remain among the lowest in the nation, according to a recent study by the American Gas Association, The A.G.A. report indicates that the company’s residential/ commercial and industrial rates are among the lowest 15 percent in the nation and the lowest among Indiana companies surveyed. \ Even though rates are relatively low and supplies are adequate, NIPSCO continues to urge its customers to use energy wisely.
