The Butler Transit Authority will pay Peoples Gas a settlement of just under $170,000 after inadvertently underpaying for heating fuel over a seven-year period.
The amount owed for the underpayment came to around $205,000, which Rebecca Black, solicitor for the transit authority, said was because of a billing error on Peoples’ part. Both sides agreed on a settlement of $168,282, which is a 35% discount on what is owed.
The transit authority board of directors accepted the settlement amount at a meeting Tuesday evening, July 18.
