After the three years, no further cost recoveries can be made. While the ruling reduces the cost of gas service conversion for the first customer, the recovery provision will raise the cost for subsequent customers up to that three year limit.

Sandretti said the ruling will have little effect in Racine, where gas service covers most of the city. "The biggest effect will be primarily in new subdivisions," he said. It also will encourage extension of gas service to existing subdivisions, where no resident may. have been willing to bring the gas main in, knowing the costs of the service" extension wouldn't be equally distributed, he suggested. 1979 WEATHER Hi Lo Rain Snow 52 41 60 40 .66 5440 Gas conversion aided Ipurnal Times photo by Mark Htvtzborg Pushing mud Installation of in-ground pipe for storm water drainage continues at the Highway 11-31 site of the proposed Racine Mall.

Racine will receive an estimated $20,000 in federal dollars as a reward for not using petroleum products in the operation of the Waste- water Treatment Plant. The reward actually is' for powering pumps and other equipment at the treatment plant with sewer gas methane generated within the plant. Racine is eligible for the money, according to. Lester Hoganson, manager of Racine's water and wastewater utilities, even though the city has always used its own methane for those purposes and never has used petroleum products. But a buck's a buck, so Hoganson said the city isn't going to bypass the rewards for conservation, rewards which come from the federal government's push to increase use of alternate fuels.

Hoganson said the bonus is to last until domestic oil is completely decontrolled in 1981 and may total by the time it ends.
