Matthew Reed Goff's Machine, Inc 11F Gorham Ind Pkwy Gorham, ME 04038 Email ID: matt@goffsmachine.com Phone No.: 207-854-0135	2/25/2014	Good Morning, You can imagine my surprise when I opened my Unitil bills (I have 2 of them) and found that my "CUSTOMER CHARGE" has gone from 16.51 to 52.82. A 320% increase. For having the privilege of being a Unitil customer. When I called Unitil they told me this increase has been approved by the MPUC??? Really??? In the middle of winter, I find out that it's going to cost me an extra 871.44 PER YEAR JUST TO BE THEIR CUSTOMER???? In the middle of winter??? A 320% increase??? Really, I am right beside myself. I own a small machine shop that employs myself and 4 others. What exactly do you think would happen if I started billing my customers at a 320% rate increase??? I would be on food stamps by the end of the month. BUT, since I don't run a monopoly on the gas lines in southern Maine I guess I wouldn't have a chance anyway. Maybe someone can explain to me HOW it's costing them 320% more per month today for me to be their customer than back in December??? I have one heater that doesn't even run and that's how I found this ridiculous 320% rate increase in their "CUSTOMER CHARGE" REALLY??? I am just floored that this managed to slip thru the MPUC with ZERO ZERO ZERO notice to customers. You can bet by next fall I will not be using any gas anymore. This whole process has turned my stomach and I will not be held hostage by this company for one day longer than necessary to get thru this winter. I am very disappointed in the state of Maine and the MPUC for letting this atrocity get by and you can bet I'll be e-mailing/calling/texting/tweeting/whatever everyone I can think of to get this reversed. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. AND THE BEST PART IS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE END OF THE INCREASES OR NOT BECAUSE NOBODY CAN TELL ME. I have attached my February bill showing the new "CUSTOMER CHARGE" OF 52.82 A 320% INCREASE FROM DECEMBER EVEN THOUGH I USE NO GAS ON THIS ACCOUNT. Thanks for your time!!	unitil bill.pdf

Deborah McCoy Maine Email ID: bluesmegsun@securespeed.us	1/29/2014	My comment has to do with the Unitil request to increase prices at the most vulnerable time for people in heating homes, particularly with the very cold weather. I would ask that you do not allow this increase at this point in time. Why is it that we continue to talk about people not being able to afford their lives in every aspect: food, shelter, gas for cars to get to work etc etc & yet at the time when Natural gas is talked about being the cheapest way to heat homes, we are looking at another potential increase? I own an apartment building in Portland ME & used natural gas, changed from oil, for 25 yrs. There have been several increases & now it is time to think about the consumer. OUr wages do not increase & yet everytime we turn around, as consumers, there is another increase on the horizon. PLEASE be considerate of those who are working hard to simply get along & do not grant this increase! Deborah McCoy a hard working but frustrated citizen of Maine.
