During a Winfield City Commission workshop Thursday, City Manager Taggart Wall said that city staff were notified earlier in the day that the city will not be assessed $4.8 million in penalties it could have faced from its pipeline company for customers’ natural gas usage during an unprecedented winter storm in February. With the penalties eliminated, this brings the city’s total gas liability down from $13.2 million to $8.6 million. “They have confirmed to us in an email that we were not assessed any penalties,” Taggart said.
