"The Bird Dog Capital of the World"
The City of Waynesboro prides itself on providing natural gas to its customers at
the lowest cost possible. However, the price that the City pays for natural gas
has increased over the last several years. This increase is mainly due to recent
increases in demand. Several large electrical generating plants that are fueled by
natural gas have been constructed. When the demand for gas goes up, so does
the price. In the past, the City has been able to absorb the small monthly gas
rate fluctuations. Unfortunately, these increases have been passed on to our
customers. The City of Waynesboro will continue to work with the Municipal Gas
Authority of Georgia and Southern Natural Gas to search for ways to stabilize the
cost of gas during a volatile market.
In order to keep the amount that we charge for natural gas at the lowest possible
rate, the City Council has approved the use of a variable rate. Basically, when
gas goes up, the City can cover its costs for providing the service. Likewise,
when the rate goes down, the savings can be passed onto our customers. We
have been assured by our supplies, the Georgia Municipal Gas Authority, that
exploration and pumping of gas has shifted into high gear. As soon as the market
levels out, the price should drop to a more normal level.

Several customers have called recently to determine whether the use of gas is
still less expensive than the use of electricity. It is. If gas was more expensive
than electricity, the power companies across the U.S. would not be using gas as
their fuel source to make electricity.
REBATES
Waynesboro also offers several rebates for gas products such as gas furnaces,
grills, and gas logs. If you have an electric or propane hot-water heater, we will
give you a gas hot-water heater for free and a $150 rebate. If you have
