Last fall, while the town council
was engaged in searching out cost
savings measures, Councilman
Alan Clapperton suggested that
we install a natural gas line to the
water purification plant. To do
this, 2,060 feet of gas line would
need to be installed at a total cost
of $10,345. Natural gas is
substantially cheaper than
propane ($0.72/gallon for natural
gas) and it was estimated that the
$10,345 cost could recouped in
less than three years with the cost
savings.
For the previous 34 months, our
propane costs have averaged
$392/month. The gas line project
was completed recently and three
neighbors have also hooked on to
the natural gas line. For each
hookup, the town receives $640,
so we expect to recoup the project
cost even sooner.
