Item 8.01. Other Events

On November 17, 2010, Bath Electric Gas & Water Systems (BEGWS) filed a petition with the New York Public Service Commission that claimed BEGWS was overbilled for gas by Corning Natural Gas (the "Company"). BEGWS is a natural gas customer of the Company and claims that the Company's meters registered 2.94% more gas than was actually delivered to BEGWS from 2004 through 2010. Based on BEGWS' calculations, it has requested that the Commission order the Company to refund approximately $1.2 million for overcharges and interest. The Company is conducting a comprehensive review of the BEGWS claim. The Company installed new meters to BEGWS in 2009 and believes its BEGWS meters and bills have been accurate. However, if there is any merit to the BEGWS claims, and the Company is required to pay BEGWS a refund, the Company would attempt to recover such amounts under its gas adjustment clause in its gas rates. Any such subsequent recovery would occur if a refund payment to BEGWS is mad e by the Company. After its assessment is complete, the Company will submit a reply to the New York Public Service Commission. The BEGWS petition is available on the NYSPSC website and has been the subject of local media attention.
