Treatment Plant
c) Natural Gas Purchased for 2014
On July 11, 2013, the District purchased the second third of the treatment plant natural
gas for January through December 2014 at a price of $4.25 Per decatherm at PG &E
Citygate. The first third for 2014 was purchased on June 25 h at a price of $4.35 per
decatherm. With these purchases, the District has acquired two- thirds of the natural gas
for 2014 at an average price of $4.30. Staff plans to purchase the remaining one -third of
natural gas for 2014 on the spot market. The spot market price is typically lower than the
pre - purchase price and it is anticipated that less natural gas may be used in 2014 to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
