IVYDALE HAS NATURAL GAS CRISIS

(10/14/2006)

About 150 natural gas customers around Ivydale in Clay County failed to keep warm during the seasons first cold snap. Lesha's Restaurant was left with a choice of cold food or cold customers in Ivydale, not enough natural gas pressure to run a furnace and a stove at the same time. Community residents reported no gas pressure Thursday night and Friday afternoon. Frustrated Ivydale residents blame Wagner Gas. A county commissioner says the company has not paid its supplier and that its own wells can't adequately serve Ivydale. Local residents were bypassing Wagner meter safety devices with vice grip pliers to keep the gas flowing.
