I have a suspicion we would all like the choice, not just Ellis Rd residents.
Having been forced from oil to propane by insurance companies refusing to provide coverage without jumping through some expensive hoops (replacement of 12 year old oil tank regardless of its condition)….am hopeful a more economical, reliable fuel is one day an option for us.
Why are Ellis Rd residents only mentioned???
The township must be fair and make natural gas available to ALL residents. I am sure we would all benefit the switch from propane/oil to natural gas. Please don’t just make the issue for Ellis Rd. Residents. Help all Puslinch residents get affordable fuel source.
