{Charleston, West Virginia}...The West Virginia Public Service Commission is considering a request for an annual increase from Mountaineer Gas that would have customers paying an additional $3.40 a month. The increase, if approved, would result in nearly $13 million dollars in additional revenue every year for the utility. A series of public hearings will be held starting this next week. The first will be held in Charleston on Monday, June 25th at 6:30 P.M. at the West Viriginia Public Service Commission office. There will also be one on July 5th in Huntington at the Pullman Plaza Hotel.
