County renews fuel delivery agreement

Whitman County Public Works has agreed with Busch Distributors to extend its fuel delivery contract for no increase in 2018. The annual, renewable contract will have no increase for next year, remaining at 13.5 cents per gallon plus 1 cent in summer months and three cents in winter. The contract only pertains to fuel delivery. The county pays the rack price, at the time of delivery, for the fuel itself.

“When something doesn’t go up, we’re happy,” said Mark Storey, Public Works director.
