Village short on fuel halts sales to seasonal residents

ALASKA – In a mid-March meeting, the Larsen Bay City Council moved to restrict fuel sales from the city-owned fuel farm, cutting off sales to anyone other than the village


High fuel prices are also to blame, Larsen Bay Mayor Allen Panamaroff said Tuesday. The city cannot afford to order more diesel and gasoline for its 130,000-gallon capacity tank farm, he said, so with supplies running low sales to the general public were cut off.
