Hey Chuck. The gas is odorized before it get into the new 24” line. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

So time to go to back to the time of fire and sun being our light and heat . The prices are more then most can afford already now they are adding more ? How do they expect people to pay when with the covid 19 plague most are unemployed, or 1 foot already out the door . They need to answer for the things they already add to our Bill’s without explanation….. corrupt monopolies always hide behind the legal technicalities so they can take more than they inform you about without being held accountable because no one knows what they are paying ,they just pay the bill without question

I don’t believe NextEra (Gulf Power) cares about public safety and the citizens who live on and near this 24” high pressure natural gas pipeline. If they did, they would add the odorant (mercaptan) to give the Methane that “rotten egg” smell. We have no way of knowing if there’s a potentially deadly leak. I’ve made several requests to Mr Steven Barry (our county commissioner) for help with little or no response. I’ve also called the phone number on the pipeline sign to ask the nice gentleman who answered “How would someone along this pipeline know if there was a gas leak without being able to smell it”. The gentleman responded “Well you may see dead vegetation or hear a hissing sound coming from the ground. “Or if it’s a large leak it may be more of a roaring sound”. I told him that was very comforting and he assured me that he would send my request for gas pipeline leak education up the ladder. But he also stated “I’m not promising you’ll hear anything from them”. This is a relatively short pipeline (39miles) and it would a great gesture if the utility would for once put public safety ahead of profit. Everyday on or near this pipeline easement there are kids playing, people are hunting and fishing, farmers working their fields and many families are just carrying on with their lives. Lying nearby is a potential deadly hazard buried just a few feet below the ground. As a previous comment said, these welds only last so long and many factors go into their longevity. I would encourage everyone to contact our elected officials and voice their concerns. Who knows maybe this multi billion dollar energy conglomerate will do the right thing. But I doubt it.

After a raise for all in December and January they are going to give us back a couple of pennies. I still don’t know why my bill jumped over $120 then this past bill went back to normal. Didn’t even have Christmas lights and was gone for half the month but when I asked about the raise the only explanation was it was a read meter.

And what about the $ 8.00 a month we have been assessed for years for recovery of Hurricane Michael. Now add that to the $ 3.00 for Sally so we are paying an additional
$ 11.00 a month.

The tax payers get rolled again.
And the state lets them do it. This is cronyism at it’s finest.
These power companies and “lobbied” elected officials are getting over on every single tax payer.
Vote these clowns out.
