Trying to talk with a responsible person that has any authority at ESP is a complete joke. The only thing they do very well is pass you on to someone that is not in the office this week. Got tired of all the run around and said to heck with this bureaucracy. Glad I did electricity is much more affordable and cleaner.

Really? By past results i figure we get the short end. Again. Does anyone out there think century or the north end of the county will get a favorable conclusion to this situation? Really?

They charge twice as much as other gas companies so it would be in the interest of the north end of county to change to the town of Century.

On the other hand, Century needs to run its own lines to these schools ASAP or be prepared to lose its franchise to the county's southern city of thugville.

In 1978 Escambia Grain paid Timberland Utilities about $ 30,000 to run gas service across private property to its location on Arthur Brown Rd. The service ended on their property. After Escambia County enacted the "Utility Tax" for using right-of-way in providing utility service, Escambia grain paid this tax even though the gas line used no county right-of-way. After Escambia Utilities Authority purchased Timberland Utilities the gas line was extended across Escambia Grain property to Arthur Brown Rd. So in reality only the line beginning on Arthur Brown road at Escambia Grain should be in question in this dispute. Just facts on natural gas service in Walnut Hill. In 1978 Escambia Grain paid
