Natural gas is also expected to spur economic growth in the Blanding area. project will include construction of a high pressure steel pipeline from Monticello to Blanding for transportation of gas to the City. The steel transmission pipe will be constructed along an existing utility corridor to minimize environmental disruptions. Gas pressure will be reduced at a new City Boarder Station at the termination point of the steel pipe. Gas will then be distributed throughout the City in low pressure plastic distribution piping. Distribution piping will follow along existing streets, except for Main Street. Service laterals will deliver gas from the street to each gas meter located at the foundation of residences and businesses. The new system will be constructed and operated in strict accordance with State and Federal pipeline safety standards. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall and be completed in the spring of 1994. The V Know what a higher education costs these days?
