Jan. 27 - JEFFERSON COUNTY - Public Service Company of Colorado announced Wednesday a dramatic change in how it operates a massive underground naturalgas storage facility in northwest Jefferson County - a move critics say acknowledges the facility's operation was flawed.

The company will lower the pressure it uses to pump natural gas into the underground storage area near Leyden beginning Feb. 15, a company official told the Jefferson County commissioners.
