High propane prices, some rationing across Northwest Georgia – Rome News-Tribune: Business

The propane is gone at Jennifer Harris’ home, and she doesn’t know when she’ll get more.

She’d been without the fuel about two weeks when she visited her local propane business on Tuesday.

They quoted her a price almost double what she regularly pays.

Now she’s boiling water on the electric stove in her Silver Creek home and sending her children to a friend’s house for showers.

“I’ve been trying to call family and see if they can help,” Harris said. “It’s a challenge not having propane.”

Jason Shedd in Armuchee has a different problem. He’s ready to buy propane for his elderly parents but can’t get anyone to service their home. They’ve been without propane for five days.
