rates with the&nbsp;Maine Public Utilities Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unitil&nbsp;has requested an increase of&nbsp;$6.0 million&nbsp;in base revenue, or an increase of
approximately 7&nbsp;percent over total operating revenue, for effect&nbsp;on July&nbsp;1, 2017 but expects a Commission suspension period through March&nbsp;1, 2018. The filing also includes a proposal to renew and expand the Targeted
Infrastructure Replacement Adjustment tariff for a period of four years which will allow the recovery of costs associated with operational and safety-related improvements and upgrades&nbsp;Unitil&nbsp;is making to its gas distribution system
in&nbsp;Maine. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the rates are approved as filed, the typical residential gas heating customer using an average of 63 ccfs (or 65 therms) would see a
monthly increase of&nbsp;$8.66, or about 9&nbsp;percent.&nbsp;Impacts on other individual customers will vary depending upon rate class and usage characteristics. </P>
