REGARDING:
“The county wants tax dollars from all its people…but if this was to happen in the south end,,,guess what…it would be handled long ago”

You’re saying ESP or whatever it is called lately would have fixed it or that the county commissioners would have?

The problem is that it is not THEIR problem. They don’t answer for the actions and inactions of the Town of Century. Separate organizations.

Nor is it financed by taxes. It finances the town although lost fas doesn’t bring in revenue.

At least small leaks will disperse unless enclosed and no BOOM-BOOM.

David for natural gas in the right places

The county wants tax dollars from all its people…but if this was to happen in the south end,,,guess what…it would be handled long ago…the leadership we have before us is embarrassing.

It doesn’t even take a spark. I lived in California about 20 miles from a place where old natural gas pipes were under a four-lane highway. Road vibration from traffic worsened the leak until a small earthquake finised off that section of highway, taking nearby residences with it. Thank God it went off at night and no vehicles were on that stretch of road.

This is a fire bomb waiting to go off. I hope and pray it is quickly and safely fixed.

Well, the way I find leaks is using soap and water. I suppose about a 100 gallons of dawn dish soap and a few fire hoses should do the trick. Just look for the bubbles.

Seems to me that a year is a long time for a potential hazard from a leaking gas line to continue. I think I would be very concerned if I lived near there. It would only take one spark in the wrong place to cause a serious problem.
