GAS ADJUSTMENTS EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 1, 2000
November 29, 2000
Natural and Propane (LP) Gas supply prices remain at historic high levels and natural gas
supply prices have continued to rise considerably. The result has been an increase in
November natural gas supply prices of 7 C per therm above our last month projections and Oljr
new December natural gas supply projections are 11 C per therm above our last estimates.
Therefore, this requires us to recommend an increase in our Natural Gas Purchased Gas
Adjustment (PGA) of another 11 .OC per thermo We are not recommending changes to any of
our other Adjustment clauses at this time.
Therefore, we are recommending your approval of the following rates to become effective for"
billings rendered on and after December 1, 2000:
Natural Gas Firm Standard Rate Schedule PGA ....... $0.740 per therm (up 11.0C/therm)
Natural Gas Interruptible and Contract
(Non-Standard) Rate Schedule PGA ............. $0.650 per therm (up 11.0C/therm)
Propane (LP) Gas Rate Schedule PGA .................... $0.850 per gallon (no change)
$0.929 per therm equivalent
(no change)
Energy Conservation Adjustment (ECA) ............... $0.110 per therm (no change)
= $0.101 per gallon of LP
(no change)
Environmental Imposition Adjustment (EIA) ......... $0.000 per therm (no changel
= $0.000 per gallon of LP
(no change)
Weather Normalization Adjustment (WNA) .......... $0.000 per therm (no change)
= $0.000 per gallon of LP
(no change)

Attachments #f and #% show the impact of these adjustment clause changes on our overall
Natural and LP Gas rates, respectively.
It is our plan to use the above-proposed adjustments for billings through March 31, 2001,
unless there is a significant change in our forecasts or we project an over/under recovery in
excess of the thresholds as prescribed in our rate ordinance. We will continue to track these
balances monthly, make monthly projections of these factors based on market conditions,
and let you know if any of these get significantly out of balance.
Bill, I would appreciate your approval of these revised adjustment rates so that we can get
this information to CCS in order to make the appropriate adjustments in the billing formulas in
time for the December 1 st billings. If you have any questions on this, please call me.
