Jasper- As of 10:00 AM this morning, the Gas Conservation is no longer in effect. 

The City of Jasper's Gas Conservation is still in effect.

The City of Jasper has been informed by the Utility Gas Management, the contracted gas management company, there is a temporary need to reduce our gas usage IMMEDIATELY. 

The extreme cold and wind chill has had an impact on natural gas production and their pipelines affecting supplies to areas throughout the Midwest. We are asking industries that use natural gas to shut down temporarily and turn thermostats down until this situation is resolved. 

We also ask that citizens (1) turn their thermostats down to below 70 degrees, (2) delay or minimize the use of gas appliances and hot water heaters and (3) avoid using gas fireplaces. Every bit of reduced demand helps and together we can protect our crucial public health facilities during this challenging time.
