Utilities

According to a recent update from Liberty Utilities Central, as of Friday, March 13th at 12:45 pm, natural gas service has been restored to all customers in Jackson, Fruitland, and Gordonville who were at home to receive utility crews, and are returning to standard operating conditions. Permanent repairs to the North Cape Girardeau pipeline have also been completed.
