CIRCLE PINES — The Centennial Utilities Commission has decided what it will do in an effort to lessen the impact of the unusually high natural gas prices in February on its customers.
The city of Circle Pines has operated its own utility, Centennial Utilities, since the early 1950s. Centennial Utilities provides the services of natural gas, water, sewer, trash collection and recycling to Circle Pines customers and also provides natural gas services to Lino Lakes and Blaine customers. According to the Minnesota Municipal Utilities Association, there are 124 municipal electric and 33 municipal gas utilities in Minnesota.
