The

city is working with PNG and the Georgia Public

Service Commission to address the potential

problem. PNG has agreed to delay turning over

outstanding accounts to collections if there are

written complaints under investigation.

The

unwarranted charges include natural gas used in

June, July and August of 1999 and interstate

pipeline fees for customers who signed up for the

$.0375 per therm fixed rate. During those months,

Peachtree Natural and Coweta Fayette EMC offered

all customers free gas.

Based

upon the preferred provider agreement between

Peachtree City and PNG, the fixed rate included

interstate pipeline fees.

Residents

who believe they were billed in error should

contact PNG in writing at the following address:

P.O. Box 740554, Atlanta, Ga., 30374, Attn:

Customer Service.

copy of the Public Service Commission's complaint

form is available at city hall. The PSC

recommends forwarding copies of cancelled checks,

billing statements and other documents to support

complaints.

The

PSC recommends forwarding the complaints to its

offices at the following address: 47 Trinity

Ave., S.W., Atlanta, Ga., 30334.

The

city is trying to provide documentation for all

city residents regarding the terms of the

contract and the free gas offer for June, July

and August.
