MILTON, Ga. , - The City of Milton is partnering with  Gas South to provide residents and businesses a two cent per therm discount on any rate plan.

Existing Milton customers may also take advantage of the discount by calling the Gas South Customer Care Center or enrolling online at www.gassouth.com/milton. 

"We're excited to join other Georgia cities in partnering with Gas South to provide our residents with discounts on their natural gas," said Mayor Joe Lockwood. "This is a great example of how consumer choice and public/private partnerships can both work to benefit the community."
